1976 Ferrari 400 Auto Chinetti Dealer Brochure


This one was offered on Ebay as well but I ignored it due to the expensive shipping costs. Slightly regret it now but am sure it will pop up again. The flip side was having the BB512 on it. Both cars were officially never sold in the US.

La Ferrari 400 Automatique Advert by Charles Pozzi

A very nice French advert I obtained via Ebay. I knew this one already as it was used in this previous blog:

This one is however a black and white version. Click on the picture to enlarge:

Magazine Symbol : Advert - Made in Italy by Italstyle under the authority Ferrari

I got ahold of another very unique advert with a Ferrari 400 as prop. It was printed in a magazine called Symbol. A magazine I never heard of before. I found it by surprise. When I purchased a brochure I asked the seller if he had any other material containing Ferrari 400 related information. And he came up with this magazine. It was First published in December 1978, Symbol Magazine was "dedicated to the friends of Ferrari, Riva and Rolls Royce" and published semi-annually in winter and summer, with the last issue believed to date from Autumn 1994. It comprised mainly "life-style" features targeting the interests of the wealthy (and very wealthy) with a few car and boat related articles thrown in. I have been informed that in total 32 editions have been published.

As for the advert, it was another company I never heard of before. Apparently they were licensed to sell Ferrari fashion items, mostly clothing. The company Italstyle started in 1979 and went bankrupt in 1986.

Advert : Bradleys + Harvey Nichols + HR Owen + Ferrari 400

I got my hands on another nice item. It was listed on Ebay in Germany. It's a very nice and unique advert using the Ferrari 400 as a prop. When I saw it I had to have it. Unfortunately the picture on Ebay couldn't be enlarged but I could read the advert was coming from the English magazine "country life" September 1978. Just in case I was going to be outbid I could still attempt to hunt for this edition. In fact I only found one available on Ebay in the UK, but listed for 5 GBP and 8,50 GBP shipping costs.


The seller of the advert had another 2 Ferrari 400 items of my interest for sale, so hopefully I could get all in one go. But of course I got outbid a few days later, including both other items (1 magazine article and 1 photo from a magazine). But there was still a little time left before the auction ended. So I had to overbid but the maximum set price was put slightly higher as expected. But I got it in the end. Sigh. The country life magazine purchase would have been a cheaper option. I bought that one nevertheless as well.

As for the advert you can read it was made for a luxury fur brand called Bradleys. I'm not familar with this brand so had to look up some history, in case you are interested too:

As for Harveys and Nicholson I guess this is a known one for the British folks. I think the first time I heard about this fashion boutique was in one of the Ab Fab episodes (long time ago) when the ladies had an urgent need for expensive shopping. Also ages ago, I think about 20 years or so, I had one of my first abroad business training trip in the UK. If I'm not mistaken we were staying in Crawley. My collegue and I figured it would be a nice plan to extend the trip and stay over the weekend in London. I booked a hotel at Piccadilly circus and while typing this I recall it was the Hotel Regent palace. Being a tourist we visited various places but we also ended up at Harvey Nicks. While being there I figured to treat myself on a nice outfit. So I bought a nice pair of Armani jeans, belt and shirt. My first designer clothing purchase, it was clearly to expensive but a nice reward on the new job. When going to the counter I was just to late as a woman and her son loaded the counter with their clothing. I was baffled as she had to pay nearly 5.000 GBP. So I guessed my purchase was a laugh.

And there's of course the Ferrari 400 supplied by HR Owen on the advert. I guess this prestige car dealer does not require any further explanation. It's just all these ingredients together about whealth and luxury, or as ABBA used to sing; money money, must be funny in a rich men's world.

Just picture yourself going to buy a Ferrari 400 at HR Owen and on delivery you cruise around in London with the missus, driving to Harvey Nicks and buy her a fur coat. Priceless.






And yesterday I received my ordered items. Turns out the magazine I bought is the incorrect version. They issued the magazine twice in September, one for the 7th and one for the 28th. The magazine itself is mostly about adverts for pricey real estates and antiques. It does happen to have a small article about cars; a review about a Ford Fiesta 1300S and a Lada 1500. A new Lada in 1978 in the UK costed back then 2511 GBP.  The page next to it is a full color glossy Rolex advert. How's that.
In any case, this edition also had a similar advert from Bradleys but with a Roller on it.


Update 8-11-2019 : I came across this advert by FazNotFur with a 400

Lance Dixon advert Ferrari 400 Auto

A very nice old (1980) Australian car advert was placed on the FB group. Turns out it was also posted on FChat. It's an ad from Sports Car Quarterly from Feb 1980, -a special Ferrari edition. This is the first time I see whereby the 400 has a higher new price tag then the BB. But possibly the prices has been incorrectly swapped ...
