stuny Posted April 22, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 22, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Early this morning I made a point of detouring past the Ferrari showroom to see the California Roadster with its bonnet closed. When I got there it's folding hardtop was also closed. Below you'll see both the new roadster and the original, a beautifully restored 1958 that I posted here about a year ago.

George James Posted April 22, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 22, 2009 Stuart - Superb images, but which car to choose ?........ I'II take them both. George Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Thompson Posted April 22, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 22, 2009 Stuart -- Cannot decide between the two examples but am leaning towards the original California Spider. Especially love the sound (both from the valve train and the exhaust)of those three-liter Columbo V-12s! Thanks for sharing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted April 22, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 22, 2009 What is going on behind those Borrani spokes? I don't like the new one (having just seen it in the flesh) and I don't much rate the old one either. Signed, SWB man............. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted April 22, 2009 George - thank you. Tough choice, but Barbara says it's okay to get the new one for her for her birthday. That would be nice. John - Thank you. I see your point, but I also like the performance and civility of the new one. Of course the old one has a value of many of the new ones combined. BTW: During this era the number in the model designation revealed the displacement of one cylinder. Multiply that by 12 and you get the Colombo 3.0. Pete - There are so may Ferraris that excite me, not the least of which is the Lusso you posted here not long ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted April 27, 2009 Virgil - Thank you. We think their candy apple type red with tan interior would be perfect. Do I sense a replacement or brother for your 360? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
