BIG brave pill, for daily use on fuel and servicing?

Lovely car, OP.

What's its history so far?
Servicing isn't that bad actually, and I have a years Ferrari power warranty on it too. Fuel is pretty atrocious. Averaging around 14mpg so far but worth it as it's such a nice place to be.

With regards to the history, it was actually first registered to Ferrari North Europe. The funny thing is the Harry's garage video on the FF is what convinced me to go for it, but I'm 99% certain that I've ended up with the actual car as was in the video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f93LgcXjh6k

That is highly desirable.

I drove one a few years ago, I recall that it had cameras in the front bumper to look up and down the road at tight junctions?
Yep, it's handy. Especially as I didn't realise how huge the car is! It's basically the same footprint as my XLWB Vito!

That size comparison is crazy! We have a V-class XLWB and it's massive!!! Great car, enjoy.

great colour combination

it looks an almost identical specification to the one featured on Evo Diaries / Harry's garage a number of years ago, (great video for those who haven't seen it)

Awesome combo, pretty much text book Ferrari spec for me.

Enjoy, can't think of many better places to be for doing 20k/year.

I am constantly looking at these. I have a dream of putting my son in the back taking 4 weeks off and blasting down to South of France then on to Italy as a family.

Awesome spec too.

The size of that thing is mad!

Still a very beautiful car though in possibly the best colour.

As said before me, you win PH this week & are definitely winning at life thumbup

Most excellent choice sir! Always liked the FF! I'd planned on putting mega miles on my 599 when I got it earlier this year...but 2020 just hasn't been the one. Maybe next year !

The chassis number from the one on Harry's Garage is 184587, you can see it 14:01 in the video.

OP, it does look stunning and I hope you enjoy it to the max. It's a lovely looking car, great colour combination and that engine...

first owner was FNE ? Then that is one of the original press cars and agree the one that was featured in Harry's video - nowt wrong with that, nice bit of history. great cars, i used mine as a daily, simply it was too brilliant not to pile the miles on with. enjoy !

Just picked this up at the weekend. It’s a 2012 FF. Bit of a change from my previous M2 competition, but they seem such good value for a V12 Ferrari you can use every day! This will be my daily car, and will be doing 15-20k miles per year in it. Not looking forward to the fuel bills but love everything else about it.

It’s Rosso Maranello with tan leather interior.

Just the thought of seeing that on your driveway and knowing it belongs to you. You must have to pinch yourself.

Wow, I know how I would feel cloud9

M2 -> FF seems like a solid upgrade, and a satisfying doubling of cylinder count.

I like the cut of your jib.

What a great and interesting purchase OP, love it!

As said above, yours has to be the one Harry is driving in that video, be interesting to get in touch with him and offer him another crack at it at some point.

Hope it treats you well, what a machine.

Yeah, probably the only car in history to be driven from both ends of the crankshaft!

Lovely colour inside and out, and seems like a great purchase for the price range these are in now, with that 'Enzo' V12 combined with the means to put the power down on sodden UK tarmac, and four proper seats.

Congrats, hope you enjoy and keep us posted!

I used to see a few FF used a daily drivers pre Covid so they are very much a usable Ferrari, used to see one parked up beside a electric charge point rofl

I think one of the Youtubers used his as a daily for a good few months and did a tally, from memory the fuel bill was something like £4k in 6 months but he was ragging it on track days and the like.
