Never really thought I'd do it and buy a badge but after hearing the sound of a decatted f12 it was simply the best exhaust sound I'd ever heard

And adding the fact they are still holding there money very well and could be the last V12 drivers GT car they make I believe potential to be a good investment so took the plunge and bought a 6900 mile 2013 car

Had to be red with the tan interior like the 308 tom selleck had in magnum pi 😁😁Several options I wanted aswell some of them are barmy money, as an example £2500 for a carbon cup holder 😮
The car has all the interior carbon, JBL stereo and the special berlinetta red paint they did, luckily found a car for sale with all the bits I want

Just a nice GT car to enjoy with missus cruise for miles on end or be a complete hooligan with driver aids off and 730 hp 😁😁

Just need to find a numberplate for sensible money

Few pics from dealer as it's not been delivered yet










And number plates I've found so far
F12 REO as it's a red f12




FE12 RRE as close to Ferrari as I can find so far for sensible price




And last one F14 OFC as engine in these is an f140fc V12, I think this one is my favourite so far because it doesn't require any squinting, no one will know what it means lol, but I do and that's all that really matters I think




What's your thoughts on the plates guys ?

 

if i was putting a plate on that i'd prefer a dateless plate with the least amount of digits.

 

How much horsepower do you have sitting on your land (more if you get the Saph home at some point)!!! Not jealous at all

 

I have been looking but 3 and 4 digit meaningless plates still cost thousands, 5 digits cheap enough though

Over 5000 hp in cars and over 20000 hp cars and equipment lol

 

very nice


As for plates..... not sure on any of them?

 

I'm open to suggestions mate, got H3VLK for couple hundred quid on gtr 👌👌

Not prepared to spend thousands on a plate though

 

Very nice mate!

 

thats a beauty

 

NI plate ? all dateless...not always the best letters though

top buy mate, always liked these since i first laid eyes on one

should be fu with all 730bhp firing

 

Cheers buddy

Cheers James I'm super excited for big power rwd

Il go take a look now at those cheers for link 👍

Should be fun and useable as built as 730 hp from factory 👍👍

 

Very nice and they do sound epic 👍

 

That's what kinda drew me to it, was voted international engine of the year 2013.
my cars have got so extreme my missus won't get in them anymore 😂🤣
so a super GT should be a great mix of comfort and speed to enjoy with the missus
And if we go out for the day and she takes her Camaro I won't fit in it as kids will fill it so I can jump in the f12 😁😁

 

Very nice matey. Are these still owned by Fiat??

 

Beautiful. Love it. Congratulations.

 

I believe so mate

Cheers buddy she's home should be dried up enough so I can get out in it this weekend 😁👍

 

Now that's lush mate

 

Congratulations mate. Beautiful car. You must make some hard decisions, which car to drive.

Enjoy!

 

Couple of videos in car, dry but cold struggling for grip

 

Lovely car that, modern widow maker so do be careful! Sound better than the 812 Superfast too because of those silly petrol dpf's they have started fitting. Get a valved IPE if you want it to sound nuts but still ok for pottering around when valves on.

 

Wow mate love it 😎

 

Widow maker is correct ridiculous with TC off 😂🤣
Tyres are 2013s though 😮😮
So I've got new Michelin mps4s for the rear now hopefully give more grip, I bought it for tail happy fun driving but spinning past 100 mph on the straights with TC off is abit much ! It's powerful but it's not that powerful I'm hopeful new tyres will give full traction from 60 mph onwards, if they don't it will be getting r888r rears

Cheers buddy

 

OMG... Soooo graceful car

 

I think its more how the torque is near instant as they rev so fast even under load.

Could be worse..could be a carrera GT widowmaker

 

Got new tyres on and had first drive today, even at just 8 degrees outside temp have alot more grip now full grip in 3rd with TC off and wheel hop has stopped thank god

 

What tyres were on it ?

 

The original mpss it came with in 2013, still loads of tread but tyres gone hard

 

I put MP4's onto mine last year, and I've been impressed more by them than any 888 type tyre.

Although have only used them in good weather so far and a few short drives on the road. But they definitely hold better compared to anything else I've tried

 

Yeah I'm happy mate, I got mps4s rears, not as much outright grip as r888r but still very good all round and a quiet tyre aswell, glad I didn't go semi slicks on this one 👍

 

Well it's broken already 😔
engine control fault lite up and also gearbox fault intermittent reverse
But Owens Ferrari did get it collected quickly hopefully be fixed under warranty and back quickly 🤞🤞

 

whilst enjoying it, or just daily use ?

Doesn't seem inspiring so soon !

 

Was just heading to my accountants started up and multiple errors came up and couldn't select reverse to get out of the garage

Tried the usual on off malarky but no joy, Ferrari collected the following day and I did manage to get reverse with persistence but they said not to use needs checking

I bet it's had more abuse the last 6 weeks than its had in its life, well I know it has as was on original tyres with virtually no wear at 6800 miles !!

 

A bit disappointing but at least they responded quickly. Could it be something stupid like the battery?
Did you you have to get the bus?🤣😂🤣😂 or use something faster 😁

 

I didn't have to get my bus pass out 🤣😂 lol
Took the Merc, Ferrari took several weeks to fix it, was a solenoid inside gearbox had to have full tear down, glad I had warranty as it was a £10000 job 😮😮

All good now no cost 🙏🙏

 

I'd sell it before the warranty runs out ! lol

 

🤣😂 Lol

It was a used approved so came with 12 months warranty included

Decision I have to make in February if I get extended warranty myself, it's about £3000 a year

Or I go it alone as jm imports will support at alot cheaper cost than main dealer

 

A bit more than a battery and a code reset then!😂🤣😂
Guaranteed if you buy a warranty you will never need it and if you don’t………££££££

 

thats a real beauty,whats the insurance like for these sort of cars with the high value and that amount of power? ive often wondered

 

I think I'm up to about $8000 in solinoids and bits in the gearbox of my daily, been with the dealer over a month now waiting for parts but at least I got a brand new car to put miles on. Just can't get parts anymore, I know a few people that have been waiting 2+ months for normal run of the mill car bits.

 

It was £840 for the year
