    Hi Guys.. I have been lurking here since October, but its time to post especially as I have got round to taking some photos at last. A few months ago I decided that it was time to realise a dream and buy my first Ferrari, I knew I wanted something elegant and hopefully reliable and after reading advice, comments and general thoughts here I decided that a 456M was the car for me (thank you to you all!).

    I would have loved to have found a manual but realised that the GTA was more in my price range and made more sense dealing with London traffic!

    Again I knew I wanted a TDF preferably with tan interior…. But then one came up with Rardley with a blue interior, 5 owners, 19k on the clock and Daytona seats. It had just come in that day and hadn’t been prepped, but I drove straight down there, tested drove it, fell in love with it, shook hands and deal done! As this was my first Fcar I felt at ease buying it through a recommended dealer and Mike was a pleasure to deal with there (I would highly recommend Mike and also Dean in the work shop... both top blokes!).

    I have now put 2000 miles on the clock in 3 months and use it any chance I can... To say I love it is an understatement!

    I am now planning a few long weekends over to France and in a few months time a drive down to Barcelona and a ferry over to Mallorca for some of the most breathtaking roads in the north west of the island (if any one knows the best route.. let me know!)

    I would say to anyone thinking of getting a 456… is do it!! Oh and I personally think the blue interior looks amazing and so much easier to keep clean :)

    Hope you like the photos guys and look forward to chatting with you soon

    Adam

    Congratulations, Adam. That blu is one of the most striking colors on a 456. Extremely classy.

    Enjoy in good health!

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    Great car, love the color. I have a 2000 M GT in Pozzi blue with tan, but I really like your blue cabin. Best with the car! By the way, how do you like the way it pulls with the automatic? Let me know! Jay
