Gessle buys a 550 Barchetta Pininfarina
Written by tevensso on May 29, 2001 to Per Gessle.
Per recently bought a new Ferrari, this time a Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina for about 2-3,000,000 SEK.
This car is extremely limited and you have to fulfill certain criteria to be able to buy one. Ferrari demands that you own at least two Ferraris already, or a classic F1 car. Per doesn’t. But when Torbjörn von Braun at
Ferrari Sweden talked to Ferrari Italy, he explained to them who Per is and how he would qualify as an owner of this car, so he was added to the list.
“A Ferrari is probably one of the best investments you can do”, Torbjörn states.

Three milion Kronar if my translation is right. That is one sweet car!! What is the whole point of a car collection, same as a valuable coin collection, etc. So he has the coin to do it. Its the status symbol of a wealthy man in a capitalist society. I don’t think he’s lost anything, just showing off what he’s gained.

It’s a wonderful car. And if he wants to buy it, he should do so. I think it’s great!

How about a Pininfarina washing machine to go with the car? Pininfarina is designing more than just cars. :)

I know many rich people in Vancouver whom aren’t famous at all. I even know this guy who has 4 Ferraris along with 5 other brand new cars and he updates his cars every single freaking year. Per loves cars and speed and I think he has the right to buy whatever he wants with his money. I love to buy clothes. I spend my money that way. He loves cars. He buys cars. Why make a big deal out of it?
