Hi All, My new F12 arrived at the dealer over the weekend, and I went to take a look at it last night. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Thought I'd share the first pics with you, plan to pick it up at the weekend, will send more photos when it is out in the sunshine.

Congratulations Nathan very beautiful F12. You have now on your hands a fantastic car that I'm sure will give you great driving experiences and a lot of pleasure.
Wonderful spec you have there! Blu TdF for the paint? Very nice with the silver for the wheels plus calipers and the trim on the front grill to. Thanks for sharing your new F12 here.
Thanks all, I'm a Brit living in California, so I guess I can't hide my heritage in my colour choices.
Thanks for the nice comments. Yes it is TdF on the paint, the colour seems to change quite a bit depending on the lighting. Can't wait to see it in the sunshine. I wanted to go 'elegant' with the look rather than 'sporty' and thought the silver accents might do that quite nicely.
Ahahahah that is so funny... the brits and their obsession for crema/sabbia interiors. I knew you had someting to do with UK. Anyway the car looks great Is that a dark blue leather on the dash?
That is so funny, didn't realize we were so predictable! The interior as you say is Crema with Blue Stirling on the dash / console and wheel. Blue carpets and belts as well.
Being British I absolutely love this spec. It's so nice to see a car that hasn't been filled to the gills with Carbon Fibre which seems to be so fashionable these days (looks like very overpriced tat to me - controversial I know). No Shields and Sabbia would be perfect for me but I certainly wouldn't turn this car down exactly as it is. NB: My Mercedes SL is Mystic Blue with Porcelain leather. - pretty much the MB version of Tdf and Crema it seems. I wonder what it is about us Brits that makes us choose these colours?
When I first started the spec I was torn between Sabbia and Crema, in the end I preferred the contrast with Crema and the Blue Stirling Leather which to my eyes worked better. I also started the spec with no shields but caved in at the last minute. I think it would look both ways, nice thing with the F12 is you can always order new aero bridges without the stamping for shields and I believe it is a fairly simple switch out. I too agree with your comments on CF, I know it is controversial. In a sportier spec it can work, but I wanted something more classic for the F12
I'd like an FF to a similar spec. I check the used listings daily in case one pops up. New is just out of reach for me at present so I have to sit and wait until the right one comes along. The front engined V12 cars seem to suit these classic specs far more than the mid engined models. I always loved the 550 in this colour combination.
Beautiful! Congrats...makes me happy to see there are still F12 deliveries. Consider yourself so lucky. If i took a pass on a new F12B order and saw the 812 Superfast replacement, i would be so upset.
such a nice combo but I have a question, with the color of the interior being really on the bright side, how do you all manage to take care such color of the interior? I mean, how do you prevent it from staining, jean transfer, dirt not making the seat a bit black and maintaining the way it is?
The more I look at it , the more I like it. In general I've never considered blue as the best colors for the GT ferraris, but you created a kind of Yacht for the road, the interior has a very nice "Marine" touch with the blue over crema
Welcome, new recruit, to the Blue Army! You will find the world is even more special when you see things in color, rather than "just" shades of grey...
