James May has mentioned that he will be getting the very last Speciale off the production line but at the same time said that all he needs “is a job to pay for it.” He initially ordered the car in dark blue but changed his mind after he said the following;
“Hang on a minute. Unemployed middle-aged man from Hammersmith orders the last-ever Ferrari 458 Speciale, in dark blue. What on earth was I thinking of? Just moments before I signed the order form and committed myself totally and irreversibly, I had a sudden change of heart. I ordered it in bright orange.”
