Thoughts ?

Am in the market for a 612 as I took one out for a test and preferred the experience to my 456 as a bit more civilised so to speak.

The thing that I am unsure what to do is whether to keep the 456 as values look like they are on the rise as with every other Ferrari etc, the 456 is in v good nick in storage with 37k on the clock and is a manual, I have the feeling that two V12's is a bit of over kill and was thinking of chopping the 456 in for 355 so one V12 and one V8....... Do we think the 456 is worth keeping from a value perspective? After all no point having it in the bank paying 0%......

Kind of in the same position as you. Currently have a 997 Turbo S which is a great car but to be honest it's a little bit too under the radar for me. I want a Ferrari in my life and I want a daily driver V12 that is comfortable and has 4 seats. Something like a 355, 430, 360 will all be a pain in the ass and I won't drive them enough. I think the 612 (along with a 550, 599, 456) are all fine to use daily and from what I have read you would be unlucky to get hit by a massive bill. Also 612 looks to be a safe place to put money. Remember these were 180k new. I always fancied red so I am looking at the car at Millennium Heroes with 20k miles. Looks like a nice car and they are good guys over there so think the car will be a good one.

that car does look good value if in good condition
OP don't think you can lose out by keeping your 456 as well as the 612-i have 612 and 550 very different driving experiences.

If the red one wasn't red I would deffo give that a look but a red 612 isn't for me, there's a silver one at Meriden which looks ok, I really fancy a blue one though

What about a Bentley continental as a daily driver? I think they look good value now..... I am thinking 355 spider for some summer driving, 456 in storage and 612 for occasional car or is that a bit overkill ?

Do we think the 456 will get above £80k in the next twelve months (or at all)?
