Default Ferrari 500

Found this pic on Pistonheads. Haven't been to my dealer yet (Graypaul) but my sales contact told me they have four of these. Looks quite good in Ferrari's Rosso Corsa red. Had a chuckle when I saw the Scuderia wingshields. They're an £840 option on a Ferrari!

Very true Loweys, I sold my Lotus after I got my 500

A few Ferrari owners might be buying 500 for the wife or kids after a service

You may be surprised by the number of Ferrari owners who also have a 500. I think there are at least a couple of us on this site and the dealer that I bought my 500 from has supplied two other Ferrari owners that I'm aware of. The 500 "loan" car is a bit of a publicity stunt really. Most official Ferrari dealers collect cars for service using covered trucks so they don't need to give out loan cars.

F1 team boss Stefano Domenicali could drive a 430, Scaglietti or any Alfa in the makers "umbrella" but no, he drives a Fiat 500.

Well, Massa has one, I think Kimi only drives one when he has to, more likely to be seen in a Fiorano.
