The last news I have concerning Maranello is that unless you're
an owner or a dealer forget it... Mike Donohue (sp?) (a friend from
vintage racing), of Big Red Cars in Norman OK told me so a couple
of years back when my daughters were heading to Italy for
vacation. Donohue sold Ferraris and Alfas among other marques,
until the shake up...
Things may have changed since, though. Hell, no one will tell you
you can't have lunch at the cafe accross from the factory and
watch the pretty cars go by... I believe the "Commendatore" did
that himself on occasion.
