Did I just see one in canary wharf? Anyone know who's it is, or if it's a regular visitor? Appeared to have a rounded rear, whatever exact model that signifies. Sounded authentic (v12).

That's it! Though it didn't have the chrome bumper. Lovely to see and a beautiful machine like that on the move.

I've also been in around the same time in the mornings as a blue F355. I can't help but think that sounds much more authentic than the later 360/F430 (which I keep mistaking for motorbikes!).

yes the 360/430 sound similar to the Jap bikes. particularly the R1 / R6

But thats looks nothing like a 250 GTO. frown

I spotted these late 2007, none are 250 GTOs but they have a lot more of a resemblance to it than the one pictured I think. Who knows what it was, grab a picture next time! smile

Errr. Thats why he asked. He said it was the one with a rounded back - hence 250 SWB.

Thats on the A4 near Knowl Hill and Twyford isn't it? I've seen the big Ferrari transporter parked up there a few times when driving past and wondered what was inside. Great pictures!
