Not 1 but 4 550 Barchetta's for sale

[GransportFan1]

Not very often these come for sale then 4 on the market. Was reading in a mag not long ago that a few have been exported, i think that reflects the prices of them, holding their value extremely well.

Very rare Adam.............Dan, has a model of one these in his bedroom in red.....I like them but as I understand it they are not the best......Harry Metcalf has one I believe.......Aren't they loads of money...

Yep, unbelievably rare, of all the supercars i have seen, only seen 2 550 Barchetta's, both were silver but one had a black interior and the other blue. The Blue one at Simon Furlonger is nearly fetching list price, a real collectors Ferrari for the future. Only 448 built and 42 officially came to the UK although only around 36 remain so they will start to increase as like i said earlier, some have been exported.

Personally, i prefer the looks of the 575 SA but i do love Barchetta as they have that open gate manual gearshift along with the carbon/leather seats.

What's the point in having one of those? All 4 are garage queens. The highest mileage is 11000, in 10 years. One has 2,400 for f*cks sake. All they are doing is saving it for the guy who buys it off them. Pointless. Here's a tip; USE THEM.

Well you know my thoughts on the SA...So the one above for me...........But then at that price I would have an 8C...

With you on that one Andy. No contest, even with LHD.

I have a car that has never seen the rain...nothing wrong with that

 

[marcos]

Agreed, if my Alfa gets rained on it'll probably melt!

Sad to see so few miles on them, it's the Ferrari curse and pointles really. Bought as investments rather than cars. The Maser Spyder is so similar to this at a tenth of the price! And useable as well!

Depends what kind of car, a modern car like this should be used in all weathers apart from snow, a classic is probably best suited for those nice days.

No issue with taking care of you pride an joy..............If I had a lovely rare car as well as a daily hack I wouold not let it see rain either....
