Hi, I know i've not been around here for a while now, but Maou asked me to post the photos from my trip to RossoCorsa cars, as a couple of weekends ago at the Autoitalia Italian car day I made friends with this guy who works there, and he invited me up, so I took the afternoon off from the dealership I work at, and went to visit one with a little more value under the 1 roof!

The whole warehouse was packed with Italian Exotics, Ferrari's Lamborghini's and Maserati's.... and 1 german SL500 (trade in) I've tried to list the cars as best possible, but i'm no expert on Ferraris, so some may remain blank. I'm also not a Ferrari fan, but the sight of all the cars so close together and when you walked in, you could just feel the power in the atmosphere, an awesome experience, and I hope, some of you may enjoy the photos, which have had a lot of editing as the warehouse was very dark :(

a Ferrari 348?

Pretty nice collection! Too bad it was so damn cramped and dark! It's a 328 BTW at the top ;)

My fav one is the green 3200GT! Never seen in such color! :good:

No.1

Nice pics.

Some nice Jalpa's and the Diablo 6.0 is an absolute beast.

Shame it was so cramped, and that there wern't too many newer cars (i'm not a massive fan of older ferraris, with a few exceptions of course)

The Murcielago Roadster has to be my fave though.... saw my first at Lambo Manchester a while ago, and all i can say is it looks better topless :twisted: Although the 100mph rag top is supposed to be a beast to fit, so it can't be that suitable for the UK :?

The Ferrari 348/355/328 and Maser 3200GT are getting cheaper now.

A 3200GT (2000 model) can be had for £25k here.... that's the same price as a Merc E200 w/ a few options.... sure mainteneace will be higher... or were you talking about used audi/merc, because a Porsche still requires a degree of looking after

Nice collection, shame about where they keep them though. :(

Anyway nice pics you took, thanks for the effort. :D

BTW, both of those 348??? are indeed 348's.

That is a very very very expensive warehouse.. It is a big of a dull warehouse but the cars make up for it.. Thanks for the images.

nice line up althought it's too bad there wasn't enough light for some properly decent pics. And the Maser iin that British Racing Green colour looks hiedous, navy suits it much better IMO.

10-17-2005, 12:31 PM
Great warehouse! I love the red Jalpa and the green 3200GT. And that 512BB widebody is the one that impresses me the most. As for the first '456 GT', it actuallt is a 456 GTA, but than I'm busy splitting hairs, cause you can't tell the differences from the outside.

It is a shame that the lighting wasnt so great, but I can go up anytime I like, so maybe next time I go up, i'll see what cars they have in stock, and maybe ask for the best one to be outside for better photos 8)
Thanks for the appreciation, I have attended many events, but with so many photo's taken, it takes ages to edit them all (as I now appreciate when TT puts his pics online much later than when he saw the cars)
