    Image Unavailable, Please Login This delicious 550 was being parked by the bellboy (ok, bell old chap) at my hotel in Switzerland as I was leaving it yesterday. Anyone’s here? A German registered car, plainly it had driven fast from its home.

    Blu something over cuio- Swaters? Pozzi? Scuro? More solid and darker than my TdF 575.

    I agree. But they require that the car is always detailed to perfection. If not, they just look dull.

    Non-metallics are very much of the moment..honestly, I would not swap my TdF for a Pozzi as this one appears to be, but that's personal taste.

    its quite rare you see a Maranello at all, let alone one being used for its original purpose, tearing between two expensive points on the map via some interesting roads, so this was a real positive surprise. Pointed out to me, I should say, by my 18 year old daughter who came in to the lobby to alert me, also correctly identifying the model, so there is hope for the next generation.

    Darius, you must have superior parenting skills, as mine is referred to as the marshmello.

    But, oh my God, the mileage! Does the owner not realise that using the car may harm its investment value?

    Or perhaps s/he is someone who can afford to use rather than just possess a Ferrari....

    I never realised that people actually drove these cars anymore. I thought the usual practice is is to have the car for sale at your favourite dealer and then write here about what a wonderful car it is to drive ;)

    Still waiting for the owner to identify themselves. Is there really a Pozzi 550 owner based in Frankfurt and driving to and holidaying in St Moritz who is not a member here? Heaven forbid..
