Joe seems to be cornering the market on ff's. All good spec cars.

Macari sold to HR Owen this year. The service side at least. I'm not sure if the sales side went with it.

I had my car taken there for an inspection, they were most helpful.

They only seem to stock quality FF's, he used one himself daily until he replaced it with a V12 Lusso.

I've got the first viewings of my 993 at the weekend, I wonder if an FF could sneak in the garage before Christmas!

Which ff have you got your eye on?

The one linked above(private sale) then a couple of others.

Open to any that might be coming up for sale also

Got my car back last week and apart from my wallet being considerably lighter the thing I noticed immediately was the brake feel was much better. Not driven in anger yet but going to be interesting to see what I think. The good news for the next owner (if I ever sell) is that I have taken the pain for them!


Worth noting that I had a Maserati GranCabrio before the FF which I loved, but the FF is many leagues above the Maser in every dynamic and aural department! And Mrs Pontypool prefers driving the Ferrari too, so that helps domestic harmony.

Looking to buy an FF- how long should ceramics last on a car?

If driven normally on the road, the life of the car.

If abused, then not very long !

Doesn't appear to be much movement on the ff front. Same cars, same prices....

I'd sell mine but tbh I think they're undervalued, that seems to reflect the market, they're just too good to sell for the money they're commanding

What’s the spec/details of yours?

Difficult to determine what value they are as they aren't selling at it around the current asking prices.

[DeejRC]

Surely the answer is £10k less then than the current asking prices?

I never found that worked, particualrly on low volume cars almost always sold on consignment.

I put a number of quite sensible offers in on cars over the years and in pretty much every case it was asking price or no sale. Some of the cars on which I made offers remained for sale for a number of years.

That's the oddity with Ferraris, quite often the owner doesn't need to sell it (financially) to move on. So it's asking price or they keep it......

I finally need to replace all four tyres. The Pirellis aren't that great. The Michelin Super Sports seem to have been superseded by the Pilot 4 or 4S. Anyone running those and can comment?

There was some tyre chat on one of these FF threads but it was over a year ago and I can't find it now. Ferrari only list the Pilot Super Sport or Pirelli P Zero in the manual. I don't really want another set of the Pirellis....

I'm on MPS 4S huge huge amounts of grip wet or dry. The car hustles in a way it has no right to at nearly 2000kg.

I wouldn't fit anything else now.

If you're ordering, the Ferrari specific version comes with a "K" code. K1 I think are the ones you want. I have feeling K2 are track versions or something. (If you can find them)

I'm on NA0 spec which is actually Porsche but I'm likely not a good enough driver to notice any difference.

Note: I'm running them at 29psi all round, cold- initially I was running the pressures in the manual and they were way to hard and unforgiving. I found 29 to be about spot on. It's not like I'm running at 150mph+ daily....

Looks like the ex Chris Harris FF has appeared on collecting cars.

Just one careful owner...never rallied or raced...

:-)

Funnily enough, I owned his old CLS63 AMG Shooting Brake for 5 years. Just sold it for something more practical.

The fast Merc was the most reliable car I have ever owned, despite many videos of it going sideways during CH's ownership! I miss it.

MPS4S K2 245/35/20 are for the Porto and Roma and have a much narrower tread so avoid them for the FF.

I also won’t use anything other than Michelin on the FF having switched to MPS4S for summer and Alpins for winter.

Great info, many thanks. I wanted to be sure they were all compatible rolling radius wise. Surfing for a deal now...

Sold for £87102 plus fees so that's about £93k. I wonder what a dealer would advertise it at?
