Had a glance at prices. They’ve been on the rise since I last looked..
I saw an 812 near Cirencester yesterday, not too far from Harry’s neck of the woods.
The F12 is probably my favourite too, the only black mark is the “crotchless pants” rear.duncs500 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 10:24 pm Surprised there doesn't seem to be much love for the F12 on here, by far my favourite of the type. I'm not fussed about the TdF even, I like the standard spec.
F12 > 812 > 599
Don't like the black wheels on that even though my R26 and Exige both had black wheels and I liked them on those.
I like the GTO, but I'd still choose the F12 personally.speedingfine wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 10:40 pm Can I assume everyone's favourite of the type is the 599 GTO?
599 Aperta for me. Love the idea of a GTO without a roof.speedingfine wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 10:40 pm Can I assume everyone's favourite of the type is the 599 GTO?
I've not really liked any front-engined modern era Ferrari with the exception of the 456; even the 550 and 575 didn't really grab me. Of the rest, the 812 is definitely better looking currently, though it remains to be seen how the badly the detailing dates; from the 80s strakes on the Mondial, Testarossa and 348 onwards, Ferrari detailing has always been very of its time.GG. wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 12:01 am F12 is awkward looking - both the FF style gurning grill and the badly resolved slab like rear. 812 all day for me.
F12 v 599 would be difficult. Don’t know why but the 599 is a bit like a ‘bangle’ era car to me (after the 550) trying to be too edgy. Still - it’s half the price of the F12 so would be tempting, especially when you imagine the depreciation of the newer car.
