Surprisingly not advertised on PH.

I have a friend interested in buying this, any knowledge appreciated.

Looks like good value, the prices for these have hardened recently, so priced well. Has your friend considered looking for a manual 612? Difficult to find, but a far better drivers car and a better place for his cash!

I think that I might have looked at it in March this year. I wasn't very impressed but decided that I would pay more and get a newer OTO version from Dick Lovett. Gavin

I saw this one too. Always a bit worried about a car that hasn't been used for ages, but the rare manual box and low miles should make it a good investment. Gavin

Definate bargain! Personally I can't get past the looks of the 612, but If I was in the market for one of these I'd buy that in a shot. Manual, great colour, low miles....all for £70k.

It's not on their website, otherwise I'd be raiding the piggybank.
How many manual RHD models are there.

From the inside the bit you see I think they are the best looking Ferrari , bit of old ,bit of new like being in a Gentlemans club ........smell of leather .
And a V12 under a long bonnet ....the looks grow on you ...

The manual car is now sold, I was right, it was good value! I once asked the sales guy at a Ferrari main dealer about the number of manual cars, his answer? 7 or 8! If this is true, then manual 612's are very rare cars. The very last manual V12 Ferrari ever made for less than £100,000, what's not to like?!
