Question 812?

Post image

Spotted down a street of ordinary semis, Ferraris are usually garaged in this area. Being a nosey parker 😂 is this a 812 Superfast?

Thanks and @vol7 - these seem decent value at around £50k! Not familiar with the front mid engine model history, always liked the casual lines

These were overshadowed by 599 as they were launched around same time. This were more of GT type compared to sportier 599s. I think FF was successor to this.

I like that this 612 is a tad less conspicuous, and quite a bit more “affordable”

Maintenace if done correctly is quite expensive.

For every luxury car out there, just because the 2nd hand value is 50k doesnt mean the parts and labor are not a 200k car.

My father bought a used 2005 with a 6 speed manual. The throw out bearings are flawed because of a little plastic seal around the shaft that breaks and damages the clutch. Happened twice to his car.

Other than that; A fine Ferrari V12

The Scaglietti was so unpopular that if you had no history with Ferrari (in the US) and wanted to buy a different car, you first had to purchase the 612 and the you were allowed to buy the you really wanted. The same happened with the FF, though it wasn't that bad. Funnily enough, the Scaglietti's predessecor 456 was a cool car.
