Heritage Certificate

Here is an excerpt from the ot

Here is an excerpt from the other discussion;

"I got both the Heritage Certificate and buildsheets for my 1964 330 thru the Ferrari Owner's site. You have to prove legal ownership first, then go thru their procedure, which involves proving to Ferrari that the car you own is the same car described in the buildsheets and that all major components are those originally installed. It has to be a "numbers matching" car. I'm sure that the buildsheets are available to the owner of any Ferrari for which they exist - I have no idea of the manufacture date or s/n after which they are not available, or if such a restriction exists.

The Heritage Certificate is just a nice looking Certificate of Authenticity of sorts - Ferrari has a new certification program that requires much more extensive proof of authenticity and payment of around $500.00.
I think the purpose is to raise the bar or provide a standard for competitive show events.
On the positive side, I think they will issue the new certificate for cars that have non-original major components such as engine, trans, diff, etc., whereas the car must be numbers-matching for the buildsheet/Heritage Cert. program.

My buildsheets are emailed facsimiles and are in pretty poor condition-about half of the printing is illegible. I don't know how common this is-
I have seen others in better shape than mine."

I was notified by Email today

I was notified by Email today from customer service in Maranello instructing me to go to the owners site and I would be able to download the heritage certificate for my car.

After I signed in I went to the L/H sidebar menu and clicked on Historic Document Archive.

After the next page loaded I went to the content index on the right and clicked on Heritage Certificate.

This last page is the submission form normally used to apply for a certificate. Customer service instructed me to scroll down to the yellow box on the right and there was my car listed in the box as "308 GTS(XXXX)-26581".I clicked on the box and a PDF version of the certificate came up. I saved it to my :C drive, Documents and printed a copy.

In order for your car to appear in the yellow box, customer service MUST have your user name and password for the site. Be sure to include the ENTIRE engine number, the first half is type and the last is the serial.

The information on the document covers as follows;

Modello
308 GTS (XXXX)

Nr. Matricola
26581

Motore tipo
F106AE

Colore esterno carozzeria
Giallo Fly 20-Y-490

Colore interni
Pella Nera VM 8500

Data di fabbricazione
28/11/78

There is a certificate number at the top and other Italian looking "stuff".

Good luck everyone!
