In this thrilling episode from Seen Through Glass, the team delves into the heart of a beast - the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale. Acquired at a steal in an auction, this Italian stallion had been dormant for a decade, waiting for the right hands to awaken its true potential. Over the past year, the team has meticulously nursed it back to life, tackling mechanical intricacies, bodywork finesse, and even contemplating audio and infotainment enhancements. With over 5,000 miles of road under its belt, this prancing horse is gearing up for the adventures that lie ahead.
As the team peels back the layers of this automotive masterpiece, they uncover a few surprises along the way. From minor rattles to a pesky knocking sound under the passenger seat, each challenge is met head-on with precision and expertise. The meticulous care and attention lavished upon this Ferrari are evident in every repair and upgrade, ensuring that it not only meets but exceeds expectations. Despite the £10,000 investment in maintenance, the team remains undeterred, seeing it as a small price to pay for the sheer joy and exhilaration this machine brings.
But the journey doesn't stop there. A visit to Hilton and Moss sets the stage for a transformative cosmetic change - a new coat of paint. After much deliberation and exploration of various red hues, the team settles on Rosso Barchetta, a color steeped in Ferrari's rich racing heritage. This bold choice reflects not only a personal preference but a deep appreciation for the brand's iconic legacy. As the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale undergoes this visual metamorphosis, it sets the stage for a new chapter filled with excitement, speed, and the unmistakable roar of a true thoroughbred.
