For me red is one of the colours that would put me off….interior looks very ordinary too. Lack of interior box ticking I’d guess is a significant problem and the Grey/Red combo looks s

The Dealer, lack of Carbon anywhere, especially no Carbon Driving Zone resale must, Rosso Scuderia is not a nice Red, think it has a lot of owners, no Ferrari Warranty, and they tried to put it through an auction in November and no takers. Edited by maura on Wednesday 12th March 21:16

It hasn’t sold because it’s a car you wouldn’t want to drive. The collectors’ premium on the 70anni beasts means that they rarely get driven which means that there is also a big mileage premium in the price too. Never mind that garage queens invariably generate a host of bills if you do try to drive them. ANOpax said:

Don't really agree with that, bought my delivery mileage F12 in mid 2023 and have put 5k miles on it since then and it's been faultless.

Anopax, pretty sure you are talking about the 70 Anni car not the 22000 mile car, because V12 need to be driven, not stored. That car for me is the sweetspot on history, price, mileage, specification, and on mileage I wouldn’t want a Ferrari V12 any other way, they need miles.JJ77 said:

Apologies - you're correct - I appear to have missed the earlier post.maura said:
Yes, but hardly any interior carbon options and carbon race seats do command a premium. I have never used them but hear good things about Dick Lovett Ferrari.
I think it was from the era before the marketing machine convinced everybody they needed everything covered in carbon.The seats in it are perfectly suited to a GT, they look lovely in tan, I couldn't easily decide between it and the 296 I just went for, the major thing that led to the 296 was that my Portofino is relatively similar in size / capability / looks to the F12. Just a shame you cant get a V12 Portofino....

That does look quite ambitious. Was at Autostore this morning to drop my F12 into storage. It is odd that the F12 they are selling hasn’t sold. Was their busiest day for car pickups since the start of the year. Nice selection of Ferraris and McLarens waiting to head out.
Hi FFinally, I’ve commented pages ago about that car, it’s an absolute minter, met with the owner last spring, incredible car selection, telling me about with V12’s need mileage and be driven. He said his Euro F12 TDF has over 30k kms on it, only buys cars to drive, as intended, not interested in new Ferraris, lambo’s, and been down the garage queen road, but ends up driving them, losing their premium and problems with maintenance issues..I didn’t proceed due to financing costs and lower p/x than I needed, but would highly recommend this car as an option.FFinally said:
I find the non race seats very comfortable. Just booked a trip to drive the F12 down to Monza for the GP and suspect they are better suited for a longer trip. The Dick Lovett F12 looks good value. Hopefully by Monza the Scuderia has its act together
F12 to Monza…Jealous in a good way. EnjoyFFinally said:

Epic, and a plan of mine at some point to drive down to Monza with the F12. Curious who you booked it through and any special considerations made for it around parking/charging while at the GP?Gassing Station | Ferrari V12 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
