A prancing horse for 200 - 250 Euros for 24 hours of rental abuse is a bargain of anyones money.. Considering that an old testorosa or an aging 328 would cost a 1/4 mil USD (with parts to match) here.. I cant see any profit in renting one to the low end market..
While I personally think theres better cars for the money.. Nothing (and I mean nothing) has that italian howl that just screams high end maintenance like a ferrari.. They cost the earth, they are as unreliable as any old, hand built, TVR... They are as impractical as a dinner jacket on a train journey but (as Al Capone said.. you can never be over dressed) quiote simply nothing sounds like them..
I knew someone that had a 355 when that was the newest 2 seater (the new 456 was released same time in the touring end of the market IIRC) and quite honestly it was an object of lust.. Totally impractical, a money pit like owning a classic j boat, but a reminder of why people keep working even when they are already set.
I still consider the 250 GTO spider california (rare as rocking horse shit... that was fauxed for Ferris Buellers day off) probably one of the all time sexiest objects of kinetic art there is.. And certainly in my top 5 cars of all time.. The origional Ford GTO, the daytona, The 428 cobra, the 250 GTO spider, and the 68 mustang convertible (honorable mention to the 73 batman'esque vette)..
Excuse typos.. mullered and time for bed.. Just have a soft spot for cars as art tho..
