Giles’ 458 Italia On-Line Scrapbook
Hi Folks,
I have just bought a lovely 458 Italia.
So want to start a thread to capture running reports and photos.
It’s an October 2010 vehicle with one owner and just 3,700 miles from new in Nero Daytona with black leather and alcantara racing seats and black carpet.
It has a fully documented history of service from the supplying dealer (Maranello Sales) each and every year without fail with typically 300 to 500 miles between services.
I believe it’s still wearing factory paint all round but I guess time will tell on that one after I’ve given it to the chap who does my detailing and he can do the paint depth assessment.
My initial plans are for paint protection film on the front and get it booked into Stradale Italia for a post purchase inspection in case I need to flag anything with THJ straightaway. It comes with 12 months warranty wise platinum plus warranty, never had one of these and although people say they are as good as you get outside of a Ferrari warranty I imagine there will be plenty of caveats on that.
Photos.....
I think that looks stunning, but I guess I’m biased!
Cheers, Giles
