    Strange sighting!!!!

    First, I appologise for not having a picture of this... My phone was at home and I dont normally carry my camera with me!!!

    Anyway, yesterday whilst out getting DIY supplies in Battersea, London I was passed by a silver Ferrari 456... Whats exciting about this, well nothing, until the car passed and I noticed that it was actually an estate!!!! Yup, an estate!!! Looked pretty cool as well, certainly unique!!!!



    You can read more about the car here... Although the one I saw was silver, probably resprayed

    How many of these "specials" do Pininfarina push out??? Obviously they did the recent P4 5 but does anyone have any examples of any more of these one off ferraris or Porsches etc etc

    Re: Strange sighting!!!!

    In addition to the seven 456 Estate, Pininfarina also built two 456 sedans and two convertibles for the Sultan of Brunei's brother (who was infamous for raiding the state's coffers for such purposes).

    IMHO the wagon version is the most beautiful Ferrari ever built.

    Re: Strange sighting!!!!

    The 456 is really a beautyful car. Not sure about the sedan though.

    Only thing I didn't like about the 456 was the 80s headlamp unit. They should've facelifted that to real headlamps during its production years and the 456 would have become a true classic.

    Re: Strange sighting!!!!

    here's some Aston Martins Estates.

    Roos also built the 456 estate i think..
