GTS models are gorgeous. Yeah prices are declining again. Typical diver maths, buy high sell low 😬

Don't worry, they will pick up. Or at least good ones will. Just that everything is down right now. Between Trump, Brexit, Corona and now an oil price war, the world is basically in free fall.

Great time to buy though if you have the cash! Get that man maths calculator on overdrive 😅

That initial post was such a great read. Just after telling a mate about it. It's a great car on its own but the story behind you getting it just makes it all the better imo. Really, really lovely motor :grinning:

Porkers are dropping in value too - I genuinely don't care, as if I was changing car it would be to another one and it'll all be relative.

Thats a gorgeous car, just beautiful. And it definitely looks nicer in black than it would in red.

Hope you can continue to enjoy her for a long time.

*Irrelevant post*

Silverstone auctions have a lovely wee black on grey Berlinetta listed for online bidding & they claim only 11 were made in this spec. Any wonder I had bother getting hold of one.

Not knocking the car at all, but on a car where everything looks so nice those cheap plastic knobs stand out a lot.

It's 25 years old, that's what buttons looked like then.

I quite like that to be honest: clean, functional and fresh. Not a load of over designed "carbon" nonsense and all that lark of the newer ones.

Probably better quality too.

Echoing @svensktoppen ’s comment, they all had plasticy switchgear back then. But I now see what you’re saying, brushed aluminium or chrome plated may have given a better sense of occasion but there was over 11,000 of these produced so Ferrari weren’t arsed.
