Five Ways to Invest in Ferrari Without Waiting for the IPO

Surprisingly the 400 is on the list ... what a bargain:

Here is an upcoming auction with a 412 with a very low estimate. Dirt cheap in my opinion, I think it will end up much higher (2x):
Update 14-10-2015: I overlooked the fact this car is not running, hence the low estimate.

Ferrari 400 Automatic And The Pillow Case

I catched this write up today, thought to share it as it's a nice read:

Ferrari 400: buying guide and review

And another one added to the online article section:

Bring a trailer - 1974 Ferrari 365GT4 2+2 5-Speed - Ferrari Classiche - Martini

Just adding this one for the records. A lot of detail and nice pictures. Incuding a Ferrari Classiche certificate. It does reveal the name of the 1st owner as well: Elie Ayache. A quick search prompted me this article:

Quite a story. Due to this article I went straight into nostalgic mode. So had to watch a Martini commercial

Gee, just think about it, owning a new Ferrari 365GT4 2+2 and marry the Martini lady, not bad eh.
Back to reality and the auction:

Update 8-10-2015: Just after I published this blog I read on Fchat it's quite a known car:

But also this thread is providing more detail:

Coming back to Elie Ayache, I found also the following comment about him on FChat:

 

Ayache did many deals with Achilli Motors in Milan in the 70s and early 80s. Then Achilli was forced to close. Most of the cars delivered/sold to Ayache never went to Lebanon but rather stayed in Italy or the South of France. Marcel Massini

 

And interestingly I also came across the following snippet taken from this article:

 

http://www.theguardian.com/news/2007/may/30/obituaries.mainsection

 

Living in Muslim West Beirut when civil war broke out in 1976, Deborah and her first daughter, together with the nanny, made a dash for the green line and the safety of Christian East Beirut. In a later bombardment, they lost almost 30 new Ferraris (Ayache had the Ferrari franchise for the Middle East) and some Riva speedboats, all paid for and uninsured.

It's an article from Norway, happy translating:
