    morning Nathan, well that looks interesting. It feels a bit reckless to buy sight unseen and I will have to sell the 612 to buy. Where do you think the bidding will be on the shamal ?

    Well not 100% sure. I like the Aston Rapide, I also like the Gran Turismo. Nr 1 choice would be a shamal but thats too much of a stretch now. So we will see.

    Is it worth a punt?

    Hi Rivarama I would like to shed some light on the 550. I imported it from Germany in late 2014 from a specialist dealer in Dortmund. I did look at quite a few in Germany and France and this one really stood out condition wise. The car was owned in Italy and then sold to the German owner before...

    Anyone own a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti?

    I definitely cant claim to be the 'the Last Aristocrat' ....coming from Essex and all that ! But I was impressed with the article and pics.
