Deal is done. Getting this one: https://www.hrowen.co.uk/used-car-details/used-fer...

Can't wait!

Congratulations on your ‘New old Car’ !

84 miles in 6 years is criminal. Was it serviced every year as per the 7 years free servicing?
I guess that’s why the previous owner sold it.
The free servicing is about to run out and the ash tray is full…

It's only done 84 miles since 2017? If you're planning to put some miles on then why not go for one that has been driven a bit already?

Basically wanted a new one. Not a massive fan of the 812 but don't really like buying "used" modern cars.

Thanks! Yep, serviced every year on schedule, it has 1 included service left.

The interior leather looks exquisite, hope you enjoy and properly savour every mile as each one is likely to be fairly punchy

It's nuts, I saw it yesterday, the sticky film is still on the visor mirror, whoever owned it has basically had it put on a transporter to be serviced every year and I suspect nothing other than that.

I had a look at one yesterday. Lovely, lovely spec.

However, on the rear bumper, the line of the bumper didn't follow around the light, bumper where it joins the rear 3/4 was inwards(proud) by circa 4mm. I was told that some are 'just like that'. would that be correct?

I’ve also just taken the plunge and put a deposit on this.

[Soleith]

Stunning! What colour is that?

[FFinally]

Thank you and likewise. Yours is quite the barn find. The colour is Grigio Ferro. The inside is Nero with a fair bit of Alcantara. It’s done less than 9k miles. I’m hoping to pick it up in a couple of weeks when back in the country.

Congrats to both, hope you enjoy these absolutely fabulous cars in good health !

Great to see more new F12 owners! Awesome bit of kit. Enjoy in good health!

Anyone know anything about the cheap black f12 at cottingham bluechip? Been up for sale for probably over a year now and he keeps dropping the price.

I didn’t like the tone of trader via email so that’s probably why it hasn’t sold, but would be a very good buy at its current price or even less. Comes with a fresh Ferrari warranty too

Am I being blind? What black F12 with Cottingham?

[FFinally]

That is odd - I was about to send a link but it’s gone off both PH and AT and is not on the JC website either. Clearly F12s are flying off the shelves at present…

Everyone trying to get into Ferrari's good books ahead of F167 announcement...

How much was it?

[Frankychops]

Also to ask, can you get them with a carbon diffuser? the mass of plastic at the back just looked a little 'cheap'.

That’s a top buy,, was hoping to buy that one myself, clean bill of health from Ferrari Colchester. Autosales Cambridge have some great history cars and owners, Jonathan Royle runs a great business there and is very straight and transparent operator.. enjoy,
