Current 12C's on the Market
Discussion
This would be my choice from the current crop ;

Ceramics, sports exhaust, carbon galore, low miles and in by far the best colour for a 12c ( pictures don't do it justice, in the sun its magnificent and a real head turner )

Just missing the Carbon Brakes - which appear as rare as hen's teeth...
Mileage wise, I'm just looking to start on low mileage, as I'm pretty sure I'm going to put a fair few on it in 2015
Only others I'm looking into are these:
Silver is quite growing on me & is a good spec:

Or this, which has the lot on it (bar Carbon Brakes), just not sure if white suits the 12C?

White, with the stealth wheels and red calipers looks stunning in the flesh - especially with all those carbon options... awesome contrast between the white and the carbon Mileage wise, I'm just looking to start on low mileage, as I'm pretty sure I'm going to put a fair few on it in 2015

Was there on Thursday, saw both the silver cars, both are lovely but the 120K one looked absolutely immaculate...http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

Not sure silver is the best colour to show the car off. Looks a little plain and so many silver cars on the road these days.Great if you want the Stealth approach I suppose

I think the issue with this car is the lack of a carbon interior upgrade - just doesn't lift the car unless you have this & hence difficult to sell on apparently...http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

True, probably why I went to test drive the silver one & ended up offering on the VR spider!
Volcano red spider ? Sounds a bit like me getting carried away and going massively over my original budget.That said a Volcano red spider is the way to go if you can do the man maths to justify it. I think the spider transforms the experience of the car with no compromise because of the carbon fibre tub. This is a major plus factor over a 458 spider IMHO.
As regards Volcano red I think its the best colour for a Mac. Head turner yet not in your face. Looks different in different lights and angles and is classy as well
Good luck, and be interested to see how you get on with it.
The best deal I could get on a £155k 12C spider a couple of weeks ago was £150 + IRIS II upgrade and the next service due ( 2nd year annual ).
I didn't do that deal only because there was potentially a better proposition on the table albeit a lot more money and another £80k over the original budget

What was the spec of the car you got offered?

I'm at 145k...
What was the spec of the car you got offered?
Similar spec to red one but with higher mileage. I wanted it for £145k but apparently that was below cost to them and they wouldn't budge off £150k with the IRIS upgrade/service being worth circa £5k (retail ) as well.What was the spec of the car you got offered?
Notice the red one has now got sold against it so they have either sold it to you and not told you or someone else has gazumped you ????

No that's me, just one small detail to finalise... Notice the red one has now got sold against it so they have either sold it to you and not told you or someone else has gazumped you ????

Cool ! I bought my Performante from Rybrook last year and they were very good to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with them againEdited by ferdi p on Sunday 14th December 17:24
Fingers crossed for you its an epic car, even more so in 12 C spider form.
I take it you preferred spider over coupe and volcano red over the silver/grey spider they have for sale.
Pictures don't seem to do Volcano red justice making it look like a dark burgundy with hints of brown whereas when seen physically and clean in good light it really pops

The Graphite car has a great spec but I found the colour a little boring & I'm not a fan of the super lightweight wheels either...
