Brett- According to a famous film personality "It is tough being green." Good deal for someone who likes the Jaguar look. There is a green, Euro 550 here in Albuquerque and it actually looks pretty nice.

The idea of a green Ferrari, would not attract me, but that doesn't look too bad, especially with the tan interior... Not sure I'd buy it though.

Wrong color on a great car - couldn't agree more...

It also says 'new interior'. Scary.

jtremlett has a green 550 I have seen a few times. Color actually works well with the 550 lines.

Hard to believe the car has a new interior. If so, there is about $10-15K worth of Cuoio leatherwork done, including the steering wheel. If the interior was an off color, like Verde, possible. My old Daytona (originally Bianco paint) had a dark green interior, though, and it actually looked fine. The trim, steering wheel, etc were black, though, so if this one had a Verde dash and steering wheel... Need to see the build sheet.

The green doesn't look that bad !

With that tan, it is a nice combination,
and certainly no worse looking than an
XKE with the same colors.

The Verge Anglaise is not metalic.

Which green is this ?

Low miles, recent service.

Slightly problematic resale.........

At this price, well worth looking at,
unless you wait until the replacement
for the 599 comes out.

Then, the 599 will drop like a rock,
and pull the 575 with it....

With a Ferrari purchase, there
are allways questions !

I like the combo

Took a 2nd look ... I like it a lot!

Car is well spec'd with leather eveywhere - put a racing circle in white with the numbers 69 and get some Novitecs and paint the calipers red or yellow.

Good to go!

couldn't agree more: I like the Verde/Cuolo mix the best. Has a very natural feel.

Taz,
If this car were a more desirable color, how much do you think that would add to the price?


Everything you have heard is true.

Well there's a good thought - maybe Andrew could somehow offer every new Ferrari owner a 30 day free trial.

Direct mail every Ferrari and high end dealer

Possibly a google ad that would pop up on a Ferrari search engine - kinda like the ones that pop up here after I search for something.

There has been a wine cellar ad following me for almost a week on here.

That's going to be for sale for a loooooong time.

Nice exterior, I've been seriously considering one of the green 456s for sale. But too much tan on the inside.

Speaking of which......

Somebody, maybe when they
installed the new interior,
removed the rear passanger seats,
and put in some sort of storage unit.......

At least it has a harmonic balancer.

Didn't realize that was optional
on a 575............

Not much in the way of harmonics in a V12, but again unique.

There is also one for sale on E-Bay that has a "Daytona Kit". Had a hard time finding that one in the options list, too.
