It‘s #ferrarifriday, so what could be a more adequate post than a photo of a Ferrari meeting?

Today‘s flashback takes us back to the weekend of August 9 through 11, 1991. Gregor Schulz and yours truly did attend the AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nürburgring together. The then only two years old factory-subsidiary German Ferrari importer, Ferrari Deutschland GmbH of Frankfurt am Main, hosted a big Ferrari meeting on Saturday and Sunday which attracted more than 400 Ferrari from all over Europe.

Gregor took this photo of an unidentified white 365 GT4 2+2. I only know that the car was owned by Hermann Nalop, a notary resident in Bünde, Germany. The Borrani wire wheels are of course not original on this model from the early 1970s, but don‘t look totally off on the car IMHO. Furthermore, the small front spoiler of a Ferrari 400 had been fitted on this 365 GT4 2+2.

The red 412 parked behind is s/n 64607, owned from new by the late Armand Weyer from Luxembourg.

Monaco Ferrari 365GT4 2+2

I hit this Instagram post because of this 365GT4 2+2 (what else). I spotted it had the MC sticker and the associated "Monaco Motors - G. Cavallari" decal as well. So likely an original delivered car in Monaco albeit currently on French plates. For a moment I thought it was this one:

 But it's not. Adding it here just for the records.

For a long time, I didn’t really like the 365 GT4 2+2, the 400i, and its successors. But I think I’ve finally changed my mind — better late than never, right?

I started one for the first time yesterday, and somehow we just clicked. Maybe it’s because this one is completely original, or maybe it’s the sound from its drilled exhaust (Definitely not the weak battery that left me stranded)

I guess some things are hard to explain — you just have to feel them.

Adding the X post for their comments;

People say that there’s no such thing as a cheap Ferrari, and it’s an expression rooted in truth and hard-won experience.

That said, John Mayhead asks if now is a good time to buy a Ferrari 400? 🤔 https://t.co/4gWNfomOLu pic.twitter.com/mHCK2A0kZm

Czech Ferrari 400i Automatic

Today my radar hit this Czech article, published today, but it was behind a paywall;

https://ieuro.cz/automobilovy-klenot-ferrari-400i/

But upon further checking I found another 400 article on their website;

https://ieuro.cz/estet-z-maranella/ 

Which appears to be the same article but with a different header and not behind a paywall.

English translation:

And upon checking my own blog I found this post with the same article again, back then it was blocked;

Ferrari 400i Automatic 1981 - Bekleidungswerke Hucke AG Lübbecke

Adding this one just for the records and for the original car telephone kit. And it had the original registration booklet. This car was ordered as a company car for the German company "bekleidungswerke Hucke" which is a fashion clothing brand:

Hucke (originally Hucke AG in Lübbecke, Germany) was a prominent German clothing manufacturer, founded in the late 1940s, known for women's ready-to-wear and European-style coats. Today, the brand is primarily found as "vintage" or second-hand clothing, such as wool blazers, trench coats, and coats from the 1980s.
