Hi there, interested in views on the car below. Not sure if the link will work, but it should give at least the web address.

A colleague of mine recently bought a 612, which to be honest, got me thinking and more dangerously browsing as I always liked these. I also have two boys that love cars, so the thought of some road trips together means that I need at least need two small back seats,hence the 612 fits the bill and it’s a V12 front engined Ferrari, which has massive appeal for me.

I came across the car on the link. Any thoughts on this ? I love the spec, obviously I’d have to check the full history. The owners at 8 is little higher than ideally I’d like and mileage is 59k which is higher than others out there. But, I would intend to use the car a fair amount, so a low miles, pristine version, may not be best for me anyway. However, I did wonder if the miles would make it tricky to sell if at any point I wanted to, clearly as it’s priced relatively low now, it would be relatively low in the future, I get that, it’s more about whether it would sell if I needed to. My plan though would be to make this probably at least a 4 to 5 year keeper, until a two seater may be viable and I go F12.

Other than this, I’ve looked at some of the posts from owners on here and they seem to be really positive. Are there any critical items I need to be aware of that are red lines or negotiation points ?

Any thoughts or views appreciated.
