Servicing is a bonus.
I paid more to get the better car, newer, better spec and very rare colour.

In theory when I come to sell it should still be worth that 10k more.

Collection day is here!

Just pulling your chain man

Enjoy the occasion of the day, and I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Lovely, though yellow just makes me think its a Lotus. Should be red or black.

Perfect day to pick it up!

What time are you heading down, half tempted to take the afternoon off work and come watch with this weather

I too was thinking of heading to Swindon and watching from the bushes

With binoculars right?? Camo clothing too

Bet Gibbo must be happy as hell picking up his italian stallion. I still remember the day my cousin picked up his red Ferrari California a couple of years ago. Went with him and he couldn’t stop smiling.

More than you can afford pal, Ferrari.

Stunning car indeed

Congrats on the car, beautiful colour. Hope you get many smiles out of it!

What's the deal with the servicing every 1k ? Is it engine only or transmission/LSD oils?

Servicing is not 1k, its every year, not sure on miles 10k, I think.

really nice, and be good to see it in the flesh at the next OCUK event or AB i guess. I think you shared some finance numbers on the other thread, be nice if you could let us know where you ended up and who financed it, obvs understand if you dont want to. Intrigued by the way you were thinking of doing it.
