F12 - Tom Hartley

[Been]

Anyone know much about that satin black F12? Is it for sale there or just happened to be that a customer drove it there on the Saturday?

I, too, was at Carrs on Saturday - I think we may have spoken.

Yes, we did. Your Wilton House pictures are very good.

Enjoy your new car.

The Satin Black F12 is their new demo I think, it was still there when I drove past a couple of days ago.

I like the matte one and noticed that it had Pirelli tyres on. Does this mean that it has something to do with Paul Hembery of Pirelli who used to own a black F12? Still I am biased as I have bought a gloss black version..

Nope , wrong generation . Sorry the beard is strong with this one

I think they were called widow makers by some, but I have found it very well behaved - at speed, if feels rock solid with a lot of downforce. My Caterham CSR 260 is closer to that description if the road is damp. Pug is driven by daughter but also a very good snow car with Pilot Alpin tyres!

996 GT2 was called that, now it just a lazy term used for many powerful RWD turbo cars

Still their demo car but already pre-sold, I believe.
