Ran into a very special car at one of the drives during the Chinese New Year holiday. Literally the very last V12 manual that rolled out of Maranello, with the blessing of Luca (see door sill). Anyone know the color? Owner said it is a historic color he specifically ordered.

Thanks Taz, it does look very much like CdF it seems. I did wonder if it was Silverstone, and owner confirmed no.
L.C- I know of several 575Ms in CdF, too, but it was an out of range paint color option. Not too expensive then, about $2K. Much more on later Ferraris.
I assume you looked at the one at Marshall Goldman. Beautiful car. My wife and I looked at a similar one in Florida, but her preference was for the one we bought in rubino micalizzato (PPG 324). But Grigio Scuro is a masculine color that suits the 599 extremely well.
Yes...it was the one at Marshalls. Great interior contrast. Now if only it had yellow calipers and shields! Each to his own however they are sorely missing. It would have given the car a nice pop.
The shields give the front of the car an extended appearance and brighten-up/disrupt what looks like a long design line across the side of the car. Only downside I have found with the shields is that other drivers know for sure, from all angles, that the car is indeed a Ferrari! We get far more questions and reactions than we do in our shield-less 550.
Someone posts pics of the last built V12 manual with LdM signature and people discuss the shades of grey and shields vs noshields. Wow.
