It’s not really for sale, I would also regret it as I cannot think of a better car at this money.
I would only swap for a speciale and I cannot afford one of those as a garage queen.

Went to Silverstone in the 987.2 Spyder today, boy it’s a epic drive, sadly I could not get in though but the car needed a run out. Being a bit strict for entry atm.

If you love driving you really don’t have to own anything more expensive than a 987.2 Spyder plus a few tweaks. It’s that good a car.

I am very lucky to own what I do atm all my cars are class leading, so I don’t know why I look at classifies every day.
Very nice, you cannot beat a Vert in summer weather.
A guy over here has a Speciale, it gets put on a transporter for service in the UK, 3 miles on the clock, I just couldn't do that am afraid.
Had my GT3 out today with missis in who does not like speed, but it was still an occasion that my previous cars never gave.

I don't.

But the 720 S referred to was a 2018 car on a 18 plate (as opposed to a 67 or 68 plate).

And the 600LT referred to was a 2019 car on a 19 plate (as opposed to a 68 or 69 plate).
Thanks
Got you now, we don't have year specific plates.

600lt or Speciale, total no brainer IMO, it would be the McL all day and every day. A fantastic little car with proper steering that you can put miles on and also not look like you wear a medallion or run a tanning salon smile
But I do run a tanning salon smile
Excellent- I look forward to photos of your Speciale!

Have a recurring itch for a Speciale which leads to extensive scouting of classifieds. Then I start imagining myself in that car and then I conclude that it is just not for me - until the itch returns...

I get that itch with V12 Ferrari’s....rotate through F12, 812, Lusso, FF etc. Clearly last two are justified as family car etc Speciale is the only V8 Ferrari I’ve every really wanted.

I have the same itch until I realise the price is still above list and I could of owned the car 5 years ago for less.
Great car but the worry of the impending price correction as there are far too many of them built cures the itch
Very unlikely there will be any Speciale price correction even with future economic uncertainty.

Bizarre that anyone could have ordered a new Speciale during production without any previous Ferrari buying history.

Pista will offer better value imo soon at c £275k retail which isn't far away.

but no one likes it and a Ferrari F8 Tributo now's really the same car, if nota better car for less ££

Same with Lambo, once you get tech involved the newer car's always better, Pista's in no mans land now imo.

Same way the face lift Lamborghini Huracan Evo is now better than the performante and now in a RWD car option.

The low numbers of Performantes and individual lairiness should support residuals which are probably approaching their nadir whereas the equally rapid standard current Hurracan is a great car but oversupplied with a resultant eye watering affect on value.

the newer cars are still better and also even better drivers cars though. and the RWD Lambo give you a big discount from the 4WD car.

Pista's still in no mans land imo.

Porsche Tonbridge apparently sold 20 cars at the weekend. I'd say business is booming
