La nuova Ferrari 4 porte - quattroporte

This blogpost had a French magazine (Auto Hebdo) with an article about Ferrari which included some spionage photo's about a potential 4 door prototipo: 


I now got ahold of this Italian magazine Starter which also reveals a few photo's on the same car (however without the 412 rimms)

Ferrari 400i Automatic - ex Cartier Executive car for sale

This one got posted on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/8727831092/permalink/10160575733906093/

With the supporting information:

1982 400i automatic - #41625. Perhaps someone here will give her a good home - car has suffered from long time storage and will need complete recommissioning. Unknown service history and mileage - perhaps maintained at Pozzi - and Cartier executive car. Located Jutland, Denmark euro 40.000 firm. Certificat d´immatriculation from france.




I was triggered due to the fact this one was used by Cartier as an executive car. I recalled an older advert on Anamera (www.finecars.cc). I only had these photo's saved in my archive. Adding it here just for the records and the prestige brand name associated to it:



Update 7-5-2023: I spotted this Danish advert, apparently now for sale for 35k

But now I have read there has been 7 build (and not 3). So adding this blog to capture them all.

If any of you has more detail, photo's and/or VINs used by Sbarro I'm interested to hear from you.

Exotic car wrecks - Ferrari 400i - Ferr Parts

I was informed about this Youtube episode which had a Ferrari 400i appearance:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nF2Uo2eVDA

I made the following screen captures as it goes pretty quick.




Question remains, where is this location? When checking I had the answer on my own blog, it's FerrParts:

https://erwin400.blogspot.com/2020/12/more-tiktok-ouch-ferrari-parts-ferrari.html

https://erwin400.blogspot.com/2018/07/ferrparts-ferrari-400-body-shell.html

https://erwin400.blogspot.com/2017/03/road-track-this-is-where-your-favorite.html

Since they were filming at the thunderhill raceway park in Sacramento I had checked that area first. And I found another Exotic car recycling company: https://exoticautorecycling.com/ So that might come in handy as another source for parts. However they don't have any 400's in stock.

I was still in doubt though as I checked the Ferr Parts address via Google maps but that did not reveal the car graveyard - when following the railroad track a little further I spotted it nearby though

104 Peugette - Geneva 1977 - Ferrari 400A

I found this photo with the 400 in the background. Tried to source more Peugette material and was able to find one more but that was already on my blog:

And surprise, I was supplied with addtional information, apparently the silver 400A is having VIN #20959
