That’s absolutely lovely - is it black or very dark grey?

It's mole brown.

perfect forum spec*


(*well nearly, it also needs a smurf skin interior (obviously black steering wheel) and tank tracks.)

My friends ff is currently sat waiting to find out if they can rebuild his engine here or if it needs to go back to marinello, current estimates but the bill somewhere between 20-70k. They ain’t cheap to fix them things

Nice but wrong engine - that one’s got the turbot v8 in it rather than the v12

Oof - what’s wrong with it?

Not entirely sure, but was making expensive rattling noises. Think the answer would have been new engine, but no longer available as Ferrari don’t have any and don’t make them

Hmm that doesn't sound good. Hopefully it is not catastrophic and just a top end rebuild or the like. Keep us updated on here as would be interested in how it pans out given my old man has one.

The FF has had it’s reputation somewhat saved by being a Ferrari and thus most cars are low mileage. I imagine if these were used like ordinary cars there wouldn’t be more than a dozen examples left on the road today

I have a vague recollection of watching a YouTube video a few years back of someone detailing the ruinous nature of their Ferrari FF maintenance

Still one of my favourite Ferrari shapes in recent years, I'm such a slut for a shooting brake

I think there was a whole pistonheads thread about a guy with a red one that had a multitude of issues and thought the dealer had sold him a pup.

I don’t know if it’s JLR or 3rd party, but you can get alloys that look like steelies… I like the look, but would buy an other colour Defender

Not seen one of these since forever. Former colleague had the non-turbo version in that colour.

I had the "Lightning" edition that had been played with, tricky cams, tubular manifold, Exige suspension and a few other bits and bobs. Great fun on trackdays

The blue one was my friends, he later supercharged it
