IIRC, isnt there just ONE manual UK car?
I thought I had read that there were 3 UK cars and 6 US cars that were delivered with a 6 speed, I suspect there would have been more in other markets.

If all else fails to be honest I'd buy an auto with a failed box and have it converted.
By the time I have the budget to buy one there's bound to be some failed boxes about!

Yep, that's one of the cars I've seen a photo of and one I would definitely buy, the spec was good and I loved the colour also.
Hopefully it'll come up for sale again in the future and I can do a deal!

I have many more pics but not on my iPad. The Stradale has been to Spa, Le Mans and the mad Irish Cannonball in the last 18 months, plus Le Mans again this year. The 12C is about to head to Monaco, Italian lakes, Alps etc. And my wife has commandeered the 997!

The CS has been very reliable, although there are always things to do and the bills do build up if you want to keep the car virtually perfect, as I do. As already said, it is a car everyone needs to try and get a go in. Just not mine!

12C is also brilliant, far better than I expected given the reviews and constant comments about lack of emotion etc. I'll keep it for quite a while I think, while I hope the CS stays for a loooong time.

Had to load them one by one - thumbsnap is, well, it rhymes with it.

Yes, the Argento Nurburgring one was the sole manual California to be sold by an authorised dealer in the UK IIRC. I remember it caught my interest, thinking it would be a sure investment car in the future being one of the last gated manual gearbox Ferrari models to leave the factory.

It was up for £174,950 at the time (March 2011).

Assuming it is not photoshopped, that is a simple but brilliant photo.

Not sure what photoshopped means but my brother and I had left Bilbau done about 100kms and came across this endless road on our way to Javea. Gear trip.

Some really great photos, especially the CS at the start.

Always stunned though at how people are prepared to put shockingly bad number plates on their pride and joys. They must surely look back one day and think 'why on earth did I do that'

Not great photography, but outside The detailers house after two days. I cannot believe the difference, Glynn form Elite detail, thank you for the recommendations.
