Thread: The last real Ferrari 512 BBi

I haven't seen this before so those like me enjoy!

"The last REAL Ferrari. I say real Ferrari because the 512BBi was the last hand-built car at Ferrari. Following the end of the 512 production the 328 and Testarossa were built on Fiat installed automated production lines. Seeing all of this coming and an end of an era, I wanted to preserve some piece of the original Ferrari. I approached Mr. Ferrari and asked him if I could order one of the last 512BBi’s and document its construction. He said no at first telling me that they had never allowed anyone to do that including the press. I told him that I felt it was important to document all this before it was gone. He understood exactly what I was saying and allowed me to do so as long as I never published anything about it in his lifetime. I never did. Now the time has come to sell this car. So here is the story. This car has 3,453 original miles. Almost all of them in Europe. The plastic is still covering the door sills. After blasting up the Autobahn from Stuttgart to Brussels without being passed by some German…..well how can you top that in the U.S.??? "

Wow what an awesome story! I don't know why he would EVER sell that car. Id take it to the grave with me IMO.

What a cool story, its cool to see true automotive passion like that, and there were and are people that will preserve those special cars.

Bella! Nice to see an owner with passion to match the automobile.

Great story! What i would do to go back in time!
