Yeah money wasn’t his problem. He told me how a few years ago he and a group of friends chartered a plane and flew their Ferraris to USA for a rally…. Swedes aren’t generally flashy nor do they often talk about money so I didn’t ask him what his job was but I was wondering…. With the taxes here he probably sold a company at some point. He was dressed like a bum!

Clearly Britt – money is not his problem. 

So what is?  Time.

On Sunday I went with a group from Ferrari Club Sweden on a drive in the outer Swedish archipelago. I had an empty seat so somebody I had not met joined me he explained his Ferrari 296 was in the shop for the last six weeks. It’s a 2024 some part had broken on it that the dealer cannot fix and the part was sent to Italy. He has no further information when he gets his car back working and as the summer here is very short he’s not very happy that Car is his 10th Ferrari so he’s not new to Ferrari however he wishes he had kept his Pista or his 488 or his 458 picture below of our trip.

296 GTB. died


RS29672

 

I started getting errors messages a month or so ago on my 2023 296 GTB of Hybrid Failure and all EV modes were gone. The error would clear once the car was locked and unlocked, but it was in for service 2 weeks ago and I sent the dealer photos of the error messages on the dash. Dealer said it was perfectly fine, no issues at all, nothing in the logs, nothing in the diagnostics - not really sure how hard they looked to be honest and they were quick to send it back to me. Literally locked down once it was returned to me though. Errors ranged from Hybrid System Failure, to High Voltage Battery Fail, to Limited Performance of the engine - understatement, the car was totally bricked and no chance of starting. For a good while it was marooned in my garage, locked down.

It seemed the HV battery had failed and then took the LV battery with it, even though the car had been plugged in since return and blue light flashing normally on the charger. Yesterday I got over 40 errors to the App ranging from EBD failure to ESC failure to E-latch failure to indicator failure (plus the comedy of being told the engine was overheating, although it was totally dead) - in fact pretty much everything, which I guess was the result of the LV losing power. I managed to open the door with the emergency key to manually access the trunk and get the car into neutral with the long lever they give you, but there was no way of even closing the door again. Never seen such a catastrophic failure of a car before - literally stone cold dead to the world.

Heading back to the dealer today on a recovery lorry.
