Ferrari Mailing List: Classic Ferrari Parts

[Britt2Asa (Britt2Asa]

Hi Guys,

Rumours flying around here that Marenello UK has sold the entire stock of 
classic Ferrari parts to a US buyer, price rumoured to be about 400,000 pounds 
which is a heck of a bargin. Also rumour is they are staying in England and not 
being shipped to the USA. (Thank goodness for me). Parts from Ferrari UK are 
WAAYYY cheaper than the ripoffs you USA based guys have to pay.....

I have been to the archives 5 times and bought some of the last 400i parts 
they had when doing up my 400i over the past 2 years however they have an 
incredible amount of stuff and more importantly dont even know what they have! 
Back 
when Marenello UK was Ferrari UK and owned by a UK PLC that owned a bunch of 
dealers they never wanted to invest in actually paying somebody to properly 
catalog what they have and if there computer doesnt say they have it they 
assume 
they dont (even though often it is on the shelf!)

Back when Ferrari spa sold the entire stock of parts it was shipped over here 
to the UK in a large number of HGVs and a lot of stuff was just put on the 
shelf to be logged in the computer later...and it never was...When I was down 
there last year there were still unopened packing crates from 10 years ago 
sitting in the warehouse...

Anyway, no real point. Just filling you guys in on the news/rumours....if I 
hear more I will share. Anybody else hear anything about this??
