Think about it he’s on here if he rings up any company’s says can I review this car they’re going to do it. Now he buys the cars he loves, the ones that he’s always wanted not just all the cars in the world.

      What gets me is that everything that led to him selling it was well-intentioned. He moved his family closer to his work so he could have more time at home with them. Then he realized that the move wasn’t going to make his family happy, so they moved back. He deserves that car, and I’m with you, I hope his wife let him buy it.

    I think each of us watching this video from start to finish enjoyed it - and also was pained by it remembering all of the previous cars we’ve bought and later regretted we’ve sold. I think what pains us most is that by the time we realize what we have done, someone doesn’t take care of the car like we would have or enjoys it and the car appreciates to a value much higher than we sold it for. This 550 is a beautiful car and hearing Harry and Hammond reminisce about their love for this car just made all other 550’s around the world a little more expensive. Great video. Thank you !!!

    I remember my dad took me too a Ferrari expo where I lived when I was 9 and this car was there (1998/9, somewhere around there) and thats when I first saw this car.
    It was and still is the most beautiful car I have ever set eyes on. The guy who owned it was a nice old bloke, and I think he loved seeing a kid so excited about a car and was happy to let me sit in the driver's seat.
    One of the happiest moments of my young life.
    One day I will own one of these. One day.
