I saw the spec plate on it when it was for sale - the level of trim customisation they did on it is quite remarkable and well worth the premium, you must be thrilled with it, congratulations.
Thanks. I love it. Yes, the options plaque is a bit like War & Peace It most likely will be subject to the recall as that covers virtually every model since 2005.

Someone remarked on a recent review thread the car felt boring, which on a short supervised test drive the car does a good job of doing in cloaking its greatness with civility, it’s when you let loose that all the Maranello magic comes in and redefines your experience to a whole new level.
This is so true - a gentle run on alright roads and the F12 will just feel like a needlessly soft, very big car with not much in the way of standout personality.It took me months to fully gel with mine, but once I did the thing is an absolute revelation.
I'd also say during the honeymoon period, use sport mode - race does let it get quite sideways before chiming in!
Well done Jonny!
You will be shocked at the depth of ability of arguably the best car ever made. Treat it as a grown up TVR with about 3 times the ability to kill you. At the same time it’s really trying very hard not to kill you, as opposed to the TVRs which actively were trying to kill you

Thanks guys
Not many pics yet and only done around 70 miles but first impressions are very good.
The tyres are p zero and I've read some articles that these aren't the best choice. What are your thoughts? The tyres are getting on for 5 years old anyway.
Has anyone had the exhaust valves opened up permanently as I'm finding the valves a bit irritating.
