The box certainly wouldn't be as smooth as some on change up and it can hang onto a gear a little longer than you'd want sometimes. The biggest issue is actually trying to keep to the 30mph limit, at that speed its pretty much idling so can creep past it without you noticing and the car feels as though its going painfully slow.A V12 Ferrari... OUT.BLOOMING.STANDING!
What's the auto box like?
Last Thursday. Did you deal with Dave or James, and did you meet Roger the owner by any chance?Beautiful! I saw that for sale when I was buying my F355 from them. I don’t think you could have bought a better car for the money. Congrats.
When did you collect it?
That's what I originally was looking for in either French or Ciaro blue and there was actually one for sale but this colour combo just won me over.My new favourite car on the forum…awesome
When I win the Lotto - I’m getting a blue one, with tan leather and manual box
It's gone a long way to reset my karmaFantastic Stuart, beautiful car and should make the previous auction nightmare a distant memory. Congratulations!!
Anytime at all just flag me down.Absolutely unreal, what a buy! Great colour combo that
Had a 1:18 model of one as a child and always wanted one, that's a dream right there.
Would love a look round this some time if you have it out and about
Have to say Phil I never thought I'd be back in one again.Superb Stuart, health to drive, fantastic purchase, great to see you back in a prancing horse.
By all means, I'm working from home these days so here pretty much all the time so call anytime.Oh boy.... My childhood dream car! I've a Burago die cast boxed upstairs of one of these.
I pass by your house regularly Stuart and have almost bounced off the hedge manys a time as I do a rubber neck to see what's up the drive lol!
Must actually call some time.... We've spoken a couple of times over email since my TR7 owning days but I must call up and see this beautiful motor some time if you're free.
I am, and I missed your post as I've been busy, mostly looking out the window trying to take in I'm really not dreaming.Are you from this approx area @Maranellohouse ? Boulevard tonight, 7pm onwards?

Fantastic! one of my all time favourite cars, bar none.
Along with the 355, one of the last beautiful Ferraris. I never was wow'd by the 550 or 575, great cars but they didn't exude Ferrari the way a 456 does.
The ONLY thing I would change, would be a manual. But I completely understand a GT should be an auto.
Here is one of my favourite video clips of all time (ps don't try to repeat)
