Subject: [Ferrari] Sad News for the Ferrari World

All,

I am not sure if any of you knew him but, Harold T. Angel, of Dayton Ohio 
passed away recently on Nov 30, 2009. I only knew him from the web but he told 
me
many stories about his friendship with Enzo Ferrari and the Ferrari Dynasty. 
Some of the stories were amazing and I will surely miss him. He had an enormous 
Ferrari 
collection and I bought many rare and unusual Ferrari items over the past few 
years. Just to give you some perspective the painting hanging in Enzo Ferrari's 
bedroom
was commissioned and given to him by Harold. I am deeply sorrowed by his 
passing. He shared many things with me that I would never have known 
otherwise....... He was a true gentleman.

Here is one I am sure he would not mind me sharing....


-Rob, 
    Love the car and delighted that you don't have the REAL BIG amount of black 
paint on thr lower area as a lot do.  Enzo gave me my choice of any NEW off the 
line car to drive and I told them I wanted a 208. Then afterward he asked what 
car I decided to drive. When I told him he said any other American would have 
wanted the Boxer and that he would see that I drove a new Boxer also. He asked 
Why the 208? My answer that He must have made something really good for italy 
and I would never be able to drive a 208 in the USA. He asked what colour I 
decided on. My answer was there was only red. He then told me that a red 
Ferrari brought $5,000 dollars more than any other and white $5,000 less than 
any other colour (That was after market of course.) And he did have Dairio the 
Chief test driver bring around a new boxer I have a picture of the driver 
delivering it to me.  Best Wishes,  Harold TC Angel


Although I never met him in person I hope that he considered me a friend.......

Rob
