Anyone know this car - FF03 GAZ?

[ferrariboi]

Was this the car that was offered recently on Collecting Cars? I don't think that it sold. Anyone know anything about it please?

I recall that the collecting Cars FF had the "Manetto Failure" warning on the dash.

mot test history from 2017 is a little odd

You mean two MOTs in one year? Maybe it went through a dealership and the buyer wanted a new one-year ticket?

yeah
then followed by a year or so
then followed by eighteen months

probably nothing, but worth checking

I've done it myself. Buy a "new" car from a dealer and you don't want to be messing about with it before a year's time.

Did anyone on here know this car? It is a rare colour combo.

I know it only in the sense that it was originally a Ferrari of North Europe demonstrator (registered V12FNE) and was displayed at the Festival of Speed in 2012 amongst other events. So, I've seen it a few times but not recently.

As I assume you are aware it is currently listed on Collecting Cars here https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2012-ferrari-f...

Graypaul sold it November 2017, hence the second 2017 MOT. As mentioned, fairly standard to sell a car with a fresh MOT.

Thanks for letting me know that it’s back on CC again. It seems to have some PTU issues according to the history, warning lights and comments. I wonder what it’s worth if it has a failing PTU??

If the PTU fix is £10,000 and the car has 40,000 miles, then is it likely to get beyond £70,000? It will be interesting to see. I always think it’s odd when sellers don’t respond to questions in the comments…

Hi - I owned (and put the plate on) this car. Had it for just under a Year before selling as a deal came up for a Mclaren 720 which my son convinced me i should do. I still miss that car. colour really stands out and the combination with the interior works well. I had no issues with the car - did several road trips including one back to Ireland which was epic. thanks for posting the link - i'm now reminiscing about the good times I spent in it!!

This is why I love PH. Thank you so much for coming on here to comment.

Were you still the owner when the PTU errors were mentioned by Maranello Egham in June '23?

It would interesting to know what PTU error codes were present, and subsequently deleted?

No problem!
I owned it nearly 3 years ago and there were no issues so can’t comment on anything recently.
Depending on what they are - at the right price it would be a good buy!
