About € 425 000 I think (that's the price for France)

Simply marvelous pictures TT...thanks for making the effort to take them for us ..

I just thought I would mention that my F355 came from Stratstone originally before I bought it from Maranello. Kinda one of those small world cases I guess.

Not knowing much about them...they seem a pretty big dealer by the sounds of it.....I was at Maranello today and was quite disappointed at their stock....wasn't even worth getting my camera out for....

^^^ Shame, but they did say this on their site

With race trained technicians and a truly impressive selection of new and previously owned Ferrari's housed in the new state of the art multi million pound showroom, brining the sales, parts and service under the same roof, we are rapidly becoming the country's leading Ferrari dealership.

Key personnel:
Richard Roger – Sales Team Leader
Peter Kelsall – Sales Executive

"leading" in the country.

They also have a fine selection of Massers(QP included) , and recently sold a 612 8)

Damn, I'm jealous...I've never seen a Zonda, much less the roadster in person, they are some of the most exotic looking cars around...here's hoping hehe...nice pictures too TT.

The dealership near me tends to have a pretty constant flow of stock. When I was there last week they had a Quattroporte, several 4200GTs...coupes and convertibles...a Merak, a Yellow Enzo a blue 612 and the usual assortment of 360s, 355s, 328s and the like. I think I'm going to make a run tonight, so I'll try and post some pictures tomorrow (though I doubt they'll be of TT's calibre)

Yes but Maranello is Ferrari UK and as I understand it everything has to go through them...all the cars arrive there first and are then sent on to the other dealers...sadly all this is hidden..(I did get shown the hidden area when I bought a car there...but you cant get into it via the normal showroom) I also remember an F50 being in there being rebuilt after a major accident...very interesting to see how little there really is of that car except for tons carbon fibre.

Many dealerships have hidden areas i guess.... especially when such high calibre cars are involved.

Anyways... Lambo manchester has opened recently in Stockport so i guess i will have to take a trip there. They seem to have quite an impressive stock at the moment. 8)

Shame about the F50
