Agreed. Wouldn't normally be a fan of this sort of thing (hated that chap on Instagram's camo 540c), but this just looks right.

Saw this on another Internet site with fewer pics and thought it was stunning..... these extra shots just reconfirm my view.

Exterior especially is just incredible. Good on the owner for designing his car to his taste.

My 3 thoughts in order


1. The outside colour scheme is fantastic. I bet it looks even better in the flesh and well done to the original buyer for doing that. best looking TDF I have seen so far considering all those extra bits make it look like Kahn / Halfords / Chevrolet trying hard to do an F12.

2. The car cover at the original centre at first glance seems to be an idea that went wrong. Is it supposed to meld in with the natural Amazonian beauty of the car colours?



It ended up looking like someone needed to get the leaf blowers out. I would love to hear the story why anyone thought this pre-delivery cover was a good idea. I am guessing the sales person might fail the Nexus 8 off world base level test. "You turn a turtle upside down...."

Nice to see the salesman not wearing the normal tie and suite though



3. The interior reminds me of Leonardo da Vinci who did this on the outside



and then this on the inside, could not resist painting a bit more .......




It looks like Charlie Chaplin and Oliver Hardy !!!! And some other bloke who's name eludes me for the moment. Archibald?

Slightly amused by the original poster disclaimer

"Not that it matters what we think so long as the owners are happy..."

Totally agree drink


Actually make that two

drink

Update,

this f12 tif has now been resold by GP Notts, the original owners did about 800 odd miles. Building a big pad abroad so I guess needs must.

Also Gordon Ramsay nicked their idea of paint for his 812 Superfast...

Out of interest do we know the purchase and sale prices? I’m fascinated to hear how much those 800 miles cost, or even if they turned a profit if the TdF is appreciating.

Cost?!?!

That car will have fetched over a million.... and cost some way less than half that.

I know it's supply and demand but my god these are overpriced. £700-800 thousand pound premium over a standard f12 which is already an absolute beast and didn't need any more power. It's complete madness that people are paying this.

I too dont get it at all. I know its special, but will anyone short of Lewis Hamilton get to a point of noticing the differences on the pointy end of the performance?

not many imo, the 430 to scud, 360 to cs, 599 to gto and 458 to the spec were all appreciable differences which could be used.

I wouldn't even have a tdf @ list tbh

I understand that Gordon Ramsay let the dealer choose the colour on his 812

Didn't get quite to that point. Over doubled their money though is all I will say. Not putting a specific figure on it though...
