    Popular YouTuber from UK buys 'new' TDF - 108 miles on the clock. delivery/service miles only.
    He is a previous Speciale and F12 owner.


    What year? How much? guess $1.5 mil US?

    Does he still have his dark red Speciale? You say previous Speciale owner and I vaguely recall he had a Speciale before his current one. I don't follow these guys too much to know the details. For some reason I think the TDF looks better in any color other than RC...not sure why.

    I think he does still have it - his second Speciale, the first was a dark grey (Dealer wanted it back for $$$). I don't follow that closely either. The cars seem to come and go. He recently sold his 675LT with 9,800 miles.
    He does drive his cars, so he'll probably lose money on this car. Bought high + miles added = :( .

    Yeah he seems to keep his cars longer and actually drives them. I don't consider him a flipper, but just right place and time mostly. Some other UK YouTuber I randomly found literally swaps out cars like once a month. It's ridiculous. No it's not Shmee/Tim.

    He drove his F12 a lot and has made some good videos with it. It’s strange to see him buy such a low mileage TDF given how he drives his cars. A lot of the value of it will be in the lack of miles. Strange.

    I’ve seen a few TDFs around £750k - £850k so that’s about $1.15m.

    There are currently a few in mainland Europe for €850K, about $1M; prices are probably slightly higher in the UK since the market is smaller.

    I though the video was interesting. I can't even begin to predict what the price of these cars will be in the future though, but he's certainly going to drive it.

    My buddy has an F12TDF and told me he's going to let me take it for a spin next time he has it out of storage. Definitely looking forward to that.

    Congratulations to Mr. JWW! I enjoy his videos and I'm glad he drives his cars. I have yet to see a color the TDF does not work well with, even colors I usually don't like. Its a great looking car and looks fantastic in RC- at least I think so.

    To pay such a premium for an ultra low mileage 'used/new' TDF, knowing you're going to rack up miles on it.
    I would park it in my living room and just stare at it. Maybe take it out twice a year to rotate it. :)

    Dealer in vid says it's had 2 services. So, how old would that make this car? 2 yrs? Delivered 2016?

    He won't loose much more money than those of us who bought FF/Lussos new and drive them.... :)

    James William Walker currently has a RR Autobiography, Audi RS6, Audi S1, Porsche 991.2 GT3, Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ferrari F12 tdf. There aren't that many RHD examples available, let alone from his dealer.

    I don't know their names. The guy that switched Aventadors, had a 720s in between, and just decided to no longer have his 911 that he's had for like a month. Pretty expensive...

    The guy has his face and initials all over the internet via youtube and an incredibly quick google gives his full name so what's wrong with mentioning it ?

    He never did said his name or used his full name on his content, or did he? Just because you put your face online that doesn't mean that people have either the right or it's an acceptable thing to just spread your personal info all around, much less when you choose to not do it yourself.

    And on this forum there are some examples of these limits being respected. Why should he be treated differently just because he does videos about cars (not his personal life)?

    It's expensive to keep up the facade of owning car your really can't afford. I believe what he tries to do is buy cars and sell them before losing much since it helps his YT channel. If I had to guess, he can't afford to actually make them.

    I wouldn't share his wife's name or address as that is personal information. He chooses to share his name w/ us considering his channel is literally his initials. Nothing personal about a name.

    He still has his 911. He can't afford to keep or own any of his cars. His car collection is worth about the same as his flat.

    For this video is the perfect antidote to the "how much will it be worth in 2 years' "how much premium". Its simply one persons passion and love of cars.

    Thanks for the info. I watched a few JWW videos and like them more from the other random guy doing selfie videos. The P1 LM and F1 videos were nicely done as was this TDF. Hope he keeps that car forever and the Speciale. Those are keepers...
