The owner of this new Ferrari decided to personalise his car in the livery that featured on the Maranello cars in the mid-Seventies. It gets a white roof, featuring the Italian flag going longitudinally across it, with gold rims. The car was prepared under the 'Tailor Made' personalisation programme, with the collaboration of a personal designer from the Maranello Style Centre.
