New 550 owner- Paul L

[Paul L]

Hi All,

Yes, i bought the 550 from Deca International as per the advert link in the previous post.

It presently has 575 wheels but these i will change for the original 550's this week as i know a man who can help out on that matter!! And there is little tiny cosmetic things to do on the internal areas, like re-sticking the steering wheel (Like the old 3200 QUERY).

I had viewed the car back in March and visited/driven a couple of times before buying and from these visits a few things were addressed and done which got the car ready for me.

The 550 has had regular servicing all its life which is what counts and from driving it for couple of days it really is a joy!

So even with all this rain we have at the moment the 550 is being driven with a big smile!!!!!

Dear all,

Just a little note to say that I am now a Ferrari owner as I have now purchased a wonderful 550 and it's brilliant!!

I had been looking for a while and then found one that had the right colour combo and history,

So, let's get out there and start the trips and meets again!

Already got the Le Mans Classic in the diary,

Cheers

Paul

Hi Andy, many thanks

Off to change the wheels today from being 575's to the original 550 ones,

And I will be travelling clockwise around the m25 this morning only to hear there is major incident and that it's closed anti-clockwise just hope there is not too many looking over to the other side causing more of a jam!!!

 

[Paul L]

Right, there you go,

Original wheels now on and looking good!

Drove a TDF Blue 550 back in the day. Loved it then and they look better today.
