    Thank you! That special yellow seems to be very popular with Ferrari. The Speciale A was also shown in that color to. Going back even further in 2009 they had the same color on the early Italia displayed at the museum.

    I have chosen an out of range special blue with blue Scuro alcantara with a host of interesting details.

    Without giving away the plot can you say if the out of range color is a dark shade?
    Anywhere near the Rob Walker blue?

    Just finalising it and taking a punt that I have the name correct! Could turn out to be a mistake......

    Maybe that one would do?

    The GB plates are a mystery to me as they can be rather subtle not literal. I always thought Paul had the right idea with his "MUS1C" plate. That one works on anything.

    Here we can have from two to eight characters; numbers and letters in any order you can think of. The trick is getting in before anyone else figures out a name...

    LM would be a nice subversive name in a way -- I wonder if SM would catch that.

    That name would also be a interesting omen for the upcoming Ford GT.

    Shouldn't LM be reserved for the street verson of a car that was raced at Le Mans?

    Funny about LM. I don't think they will use that moniker this time.

    Very nice on F12 BLU. I love seeing the blue army grow!

    Well, they've put the GTO on cars that were never raced, same with the Speciale name. Ferrari won Le Mans in 1965, so it would be a nice name for the 50th anniversary of that.

    I'm still betting on "F12 SWB" for the name. Nice call back to the 250, and suits the car's rear-wheel-steering dynamics.

    seems kind of odd to call it F12 SWB (short wheelbase) when it has the same wheel base as the regular F12....

    Except the car is said to have rear wheel steering which plays into the 'SWB' idea. Like Porsche did on their new GT3 model.

    F12's wheelbase is anything but short.

    Wow. That is a bold statement. I think that the Speciale beside the 458 has a great amount of differences... So I cannot wait to see what they did with the F12 that was more of an aggressive update and change.

    Congrats on your allocation Tim!

    Im being told if my dealership doesn't get more than the 3 they are promised I might be SOL due to the 3 having to go to LaF owners... :( Staying positive
