Scuderia Ferrari motorhome for sale:

Boring bus but with an elegant interior in my opinion. Bed alone cost more than double what I paid for my whole bus.

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

 The Physiotherpy Massage Bed I could probably get used to with but I'm having a real hard time with the mirrors.

Really? Those are tame compared to some you see on buses here.

The original mirrors on my bus were of that type but with the mirrors just hung on a thin tubular framework. I've now updated them to the more modern style by fitting the streamlined fibreglass covers over the framework. When a friend's young daughter saw my bus she said "It's got bunny ears!" And she was right.

  Maybe the secret service should have contacted Ferrari when they wanted a Presidential Bus. Probably quite fast as well, for those quick getaways.

Photo 12 shows two Maximum Speed stickers:  90 KMH on the left, and 100 KMH on the right.   Does this mean that the bus is always making hard left turns at high speed?   With Italian drivers, anything's possible.

However, I do like its interior  -  it has an airy light spacious feel which is often lacking in so many RVs here.   I think I'll bookmark this bus's webpage as a potential design inspiration for my bus's eventual interior.

That's exactly how I feel. Another bus interior you might like to bookmark is this one:

Also have a look at Sunseeker powerboats for instance - a bit more conspicuously opulent, but the same flowing flush veneered cabinetry and tasteful upholstery. Personally I hate with a passion interiors where the cabinetry consists of raised panels everywhere and lots of unnecessary trim made of big chunks of solid timber - and usually nasty cheap wide-grained timber (oak or pine etc) at that. But that's just me I guess.
