Among the masterpieces of technological innovation we point out the 400 Automatic, the first 2+2 touring car which in 1976 introduced the automatic transmission in response to the evolution of market needs and sophisticated international customers, together with the Ferrari F1-89, the first ever single-seater with electro-hydraulic transmission.

Apparently it's a new addition for this museum: http://www.automuseum-adlkofen.de/
But it's not listed on their website yet ...

I have a search label for "musea" included on the sidebar

Museo Ferrari Maranello : Driven by Enzo

The current exhibition at Museo Ferrari Maranello is having a special about the cars he drove. And yes, the 400 does get attention:

https://musei.ferrari.com/en/maranello/current-exhibitions

Even once he's hung his helmet up for the last time, a driver will always be a driver. After a commendable career behind the wheel, in 1929, Enzo Ferrari decided to focus on managing the Scuderia. His love of driving, however, would never fade. The Commendatore would personally test every model created at Maranello, and it was through this testing that he found, in the shape of the 250 GT 2+2 from 1960, a car that could fuel his passion for driving even on the roads he had to use every day. This was when he first fell in love with the 2+2 genre for its ability to reconcile comfort with sports performance, and from that day on, his personal car would always be a four-seater GT. After the 250 GT 2+2, Enzo Ferrari's car of choice became the 330 GT 2+2, which he enjoyed driving on a daily basis for years. Even when he decided to employ a driver in 1969, most of the time this was essentially a privileged passenger, and the only witness to Enzo Ferrari's penchant for bowling along the highways at a brisk pace. In late 1972, Ferrari decided to stop driving himself, but only on the route between his home and the Maranello factory. But the Commendatore never let an opportunity to test the latest production model on the track go to waste. He loved testing his cars himself - and his 2+2 models in particular - exploring their limits on the track. And the suggestions he would give the engineers at Maranello on how to improve certain aspects of a car never fell on deaf ears. Enzo Ferrari's predilection for four-seaters only became stronger over the years, with models such as the 400 GTi and 412 letting him take to the wheel and give illustrious visitors to Maranello a ride as back seat passengers. Politicians, royalty, actors and many other celebrities have been treated to the experience of being driven in the 400 by the Commendatore himself who, once the engine started, never missed a chance to showcase not just the abilities of a Ferrari, but also the skills of a man who would always continue to be a race driver at heart.

Monaco Museum - Collection de Voitures de S.A.S le Prince de Monaco - Ferrari 400i white on white

I came across this one and frankly I was not aware there was a car museum in Monaco. But since the Prince de Monaco is a car enthusiast I should not be surprised.

This is the official website: http://www.mtcc.mc/en/

I'm not sure if the spotted 400i is part of his collection or if it was part of a temporary exhibition or such. In any case it's a Ferrari 400i white on white, can't be many of them. So I wonder if this is a known one? The black striping is definately a remarkable feature as well.

Update 27-1-2018: I received the following update about this car:

https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19465/lot/161/

And when further checking this confirms my suspicion, it's this one which is residing in the Netherlands but now without the black striping:

Ferrari 400 Stainz - Karl Ritter - National Technical Museum

Yesterday's comment on the other 400 from the Stainz museum resulted in the following update. Quite interesting and with a single owner. I now wonder who this person was and how much mileage the car has.

https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/ferrari/400-412/1977/192397



This example is a one owner car and is presented today in very original condition throughout even retaining its original Silver paint and original black leather interior.
Estimate: No Reserve
Registration Number: Austrian Registered
Chassis Number: F101 CL21701

It looks like it went from the Stainz museum to the Karl Ritzer museum. Apparently it got auctioned and then moved to Czech and it's now part of the Ferrari 70 years show at the national technical museum in Prague http://www.ntm.cz/en (transport) - It's not shown on their website but listed on the following article:

Automobilmuseum Stainz Austria : Ferrari 400


When I informed a close contact about this car:

https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/ferrari/400/1981-ferrari-400i/5213896



he remarked this was a museum item for many years. It was located at museum Stainz which by the look of it no longer exists. Their website and FB is still up and running though but with the sign closed. Turns out they had two 400s :

Curious to know where this one ended up:

Auto Galleria Luce - Japan : Coppa Fioravanti - IL CAVALLINO NEL CUORE

By surprise this exposition came to my attention. Dedicated to the oeuvre of Leonardo Fioravanti.
And yes the 400 is presented (it's a 412 in this case). Cool to see the print outs on the wall. Read my blog on this matter as well:

If any of you will visit this exposition I 'm interested in additional pictures.
