    ...bying a tribute car to all the grey lovers and their president Monsieur dcmetro... :D

    Hope you like it Olivier altough it has yellow calipers... :D

    But on topic, i enjoyed the FF and thought about to order a Lusso
    but after near one year ownership i recognized that i used it like
    a two seater so i decided to go for a F12.

    In my eyes it is come up classic, the last Pininfarina front V12 GT beside the TdF
    and it grow on me more and more up to the highest covetousness i ever feel for a car. :)

    I always was a fan of grigio silverstone but have a much bigger preference for canna di fucile
    but grigio ferro was at the moment i saw it in real life on of my favorite greys i ever saw!

    So here it is, my little grigio ferro dreamcar...
    As always it is a pleasure for me to share my
    happines with all of you... :)

    Greetings Christian

    Congrats Christian!

    Awesome car, but I would say that. We are living parallel lives. I too have from from FF to F12. In fact your car is identical to mine externally. Welcome to the Grigio Clan! Ferro in sunlight shows the F12 lines perfectly. Enjoy!

    Interior pics please?

    @all: Thanks a lot! :)

    Justin, i had your F12 in my mind, also MDELs... ;)

    First the racing seats were a must have for me but to live the full contrast program :D
    i thought beside the Speciale it would made sense if the F12 have the comfort seats. :)

    And after i had full iroko in my FF i thought about iroko, terra bruciata or testa di moro
    in combination with nero dash and canna di fucile or grigio ferro for my Lusso configuration.

    But with the selling plan for the FF and stopping order plan for the Lusso
    i searched for a F12 and this car was spot on from the spec and 95% near my own
    spec i had ordered. :)

    My spec had been run with silver calipers and upper zone nero and iroko alcantara combination and at least iroko alcantara carpet but to be honest the blacl standard carpet
    was on my list too because it is great for often use. :)

    Signora Berlinetta was born end of 2015 with first registration in january 2016
    and has 4.150 miles on the tacho.

    I found her in Holland and it is a first owner car and the first owner, a well known Ferrarista in the netherlends, trade her in for a 599 GTO.

    My dealer Gohm in Singen and my salesman Christoph were so kind and tradeed in my FF
    and bought the car from the dealer in Holland and delivered the F12 this week.

    Before this i traveld to Holland to check the car by my own. :)

    Christian congratulations for this beautiful Berlinetta in one of my favorite colors. If it wasn't for the yellow calipers I would say was mine but I presume from the outside that is a twin brother of Justin's (Deltona) F12. What impresses me about Grigio Ferro are the nuances along the body and the way it looks one thing in the shade and a completely different one in the sun.

    PS - I did a paint correction to mine and the improvement was noticeable

    Great pics Christian. Always adds to the experience when there's a nice story to tell about the purchase.

    That's a big spec car and you got the luggage too, cool! The interior looks great, very sophisticated but sporty too.

    Let us know your driving experience after the FF. Enjoy!

    Wow, absolutely beautiful. Grigio Ferro is the perfect color for the F12... But then again I'm biased, as my Speciale is Grigio Ferro too. :) :)

    Additionally, the spec on this car is outstanding. Well optioned, with a very elegant interior. Well done! :)

    Very nice car, congratulations indeed.
    PS: Please instruct the transport company to use a proper wheel protection (soft towel or foam) in the future, that lousy rope on the left front wheel can easily produce damage to the rim. And that would be a real shame.

    Marcel, you are so right! I was a little bit shocked because this driver i known
    now for 7 years and he delivered me several Ferraris and he know that
    i hate this wheel fixing version, especially on diamond cut and semi flat paints
    like the Speciale rims. :(

    But i had luck, all rims are flawless... :)

    @all: Thanks a lot for he kind words and congratulations! :)

    Congratulations. Beautiful vehicle. I am about to do the same, trading my FF for a new 2017 Grigio Ferro/Sabina F12 they had left over at Ferrari of Seattle. I am on holiday in Amsterdam and then London and will get the vehicle when I get home in two weeks.
