Beautiful vehicle, enjoy it, let us know if you do any wrenching on it and how it is compared to the Box. I'd be interested to know what the normal maintenance intervals are, say valve adjustments and how much they cost.
PS Good luck with the I'm likely speeding red, I never got pulled over so much in a vehicle.

Don't know much about Ferraris, other than they are a thorn in the side of the Lizard ALMS team! A friend has had a number of them, including his 430 Scuderia.
I assume from the pic yours is a 355 Spider? Where on earth did you find one with 125 miles? Looks as new, which I guess it is.
Should be great fun...I've driven a handful of Italian marks, including my friends Lambo Murcielago (with paddle shifters).

I look forward to a complete comparison between Porsche and Ferrari!

Dang! If I had that car, I'd put 125 miles on it in ONE DAY! Congrats.

I can only imagine you purchased this for an investment and have no desire or thought of driving it. That's going to make one beautiful garage queen, that's for sure!
Tell me, when a car this old has had no miles put on it, in what condition are the motor's seals? I can only imagine that if this car were driven for any length of time now, there would be repairs-o-plenty ahead.
I'm still envious though. What a gorgeous car! Thanks for the giant picture of it
Congrats!!!!!!!
BTW, I am postulating that you work for Apple or you just made a tidy wad of cash on their stock jump!
