Guys i would appreciate your thoughts on a bit of OPC naughtiness. 9 months ago i bought my 997.2 ....top dollar for an excellent car. At the time of purchase i was assured it had full PSH which it has (fully logged on their computer system). However when i asked to see the service book i was told they did not have it to hand but would forward it to me in due course. Paid for and took posession of the car.....only to receive a REPLACEMENT service book .... all dates and mileages taken off their computer records. Bit disappointed but ho-hum ..have been around enough corners to realise this world aint perfect. But just now...after 9 months and a chance chat with a prestige car dealer (specialising in ferraris) I am now thinking this may be "a bit of an issue" if / when i decide to sell. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Replacement service book
- Thread starter adi7

I totally agree with the comments above as I had a very similar issue a few years ago with my DB7. I bought from a specialist who promised the service book would follow.
In the absence of the service book I was comforted by the huge stack of invoices that were present to back up the claimed history.
When the service book arrived in the post it was clearly a` continuation` book and all the signatures were in the same hand but at different venues, so unless the previous owners had stalked a particular service manager up and down the country it just looked wrong!
A quick phone call to Aston and they confirmed all the service dates and types were correct and even sent me a letter to acknowlege our conversation and the fact that the service book was as good as the original in content.
When I came to sell it simply wasn`t an issue, absolutely nobody was in the least concerned by the book and were, rather like myself, much more interested in the invoices that accompanied it.

Thanks for the replies. I know the servicing and mileage copied into the replacement book are genuine...but there are no invoices or prior mot certs. Perhaps i should ask opc for computer printout of service and maintenance details ? Not sure how posessive they are on this info. Can't imagine why they should be ? Maybe ferrari purchasing is different re. a folder full of poly-pockets.

I got the OPCs to print out the missing servicing work for my car last year. They were a little hesitant at first due to customer confidentiality, but once I had told them the customers names and addressees, as I already had these, they were happy to email me the service details. My car had been to three OPCs for work so a bit of ringing around was required!
