There's a Tailor Made Tdf that will hit the auction block in a couple weeks: https://russoandsteele.com/vehicle-details/?show_vehicle=173943¤t_index=1&total_results=401&tsauction_id=200&=&caryear=&caryearto=&search_text=&page=featured&showpage=1 First one I've seen with the painted roof option.... reminiscent of 599 GTO...
I actually saw the oversized shield on a tdf yesterday. Actually it have a old school look to it and I think it's a nice change.
They are actually an option, hand painted shields.. I believe that is the exact color options I would pick on the exterior - hand painted shields and all, maybe a little more muted interior.. The TDF is one of the best looking V12s since the 60's IMO.. In nearly any color...
You looking for another ? Painted or carbon? Love the creativity and colors. Love it and the shields. Old school like Enzo would have wanted it.
Ha ha! No, my GF diva wouldn't allow a second in the garage anyway... Posted in case anyone else out there is looking for one.... Also will be interesting to see what number it fetches at auction.
market price in Europe seems to be from (less than) €850K to €900K - some cars are for sale for €1M + but if there is some logic they are not the ones selling.
Another one at Scottsdale hammered yesterday at RM for $910k https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/az19/arizona/lots/r0174-2017-ferrari-f12tdf/739541 Quite nice interior in an understated way.
That's the one that sat for sale at Copley Motorcars for a number of months. A forum member had it under contract for upper 900's and nearly bought it last fall, but after flying to Massachusetts to inspect the car, he found some condition issues with it. The adjustment handle on the seat was cracked where the bolt goes through, and front nodler had a 1" scratch and crack that needed to be re-resined. Probably done when the car was being on/off-loaded. There was also some question whether that crack may have extended up further into the bumper. Lastly, he mentioned that he was only so-so on the blue interior spec, which is a little off-beat and perhaps not to everyone's taste. Photo of scratch/crack below, with water bottle to show scale.

Ah, didn't realize that didn't include the 10% buyer's fee.... So this would seem to indicate that the $1M floor is holding.
My understanding is sometimes these things are negotiable so I would not take the 10% BP, nor the 10% SP as guaranteed. Also if you count that 10% BP then consider the seller let it go for either $910 or perhaps less if there was a fee charged the seller. I have been informed of a few TDF going for $825-900 in the US. Thus, I would think the floor right now is more around 900, but you never know with auctions. My sense of the market in general is a little soft.
A superb one owner low mileage F12 tdf sold privately in Switzerland a few weeks ago for 840 K Swissies which is 840 K US$. Marcel Massini
I have a "showcase car" consigned to sell at Russo this weekend Reserve and tried to negotiate the 10% fee prior to listing with them. It was a complete non-negotiable for a Reserve listing. The only thing they'd negotiate is where it appears on the docket, and marketing support for the car.
Thank you @Marcel Massini and also to @Eilig best of luck with your sale. I have heard many stories of auctions. I have never directly been involved so I don't know. I really do think like anything in life, there are always exceptions. It's why, when I look at auction results, I try to remind myself, there are several factors that can skew what this means for the market. I think the TDF is a very special car.
Buyer's premium is never negotiable, it is as described in the conditions of the sale, especially with the big ones such as RM Sotheby's, Gooding, Bonhams. Mostly 10% (in USA, not in Europe), RM Sotheby's a bit more as they changed their structure a year ago. Marcel Massini
This is the first time that I've ever sold a car at auction, so it will be interesting for sure. This car should bring around $200k so who knows, if I had a seven figure car there may have been some room for negotiating the fee. What I do know is that there are a lot of shenanigans that happen at these events, especially with the mysterious phone/online bidders, etc. The thing I have in my favor is that I know of at least three parties who I've corresponded directly with in the recent past who have all said that they will be bidding. The hope is of course that they'll all be active bidders and drive up the price!
Thanks for the info Marcel. I have a price target of €700k for a clean but non-fancy spec euro car to use for the 2019 driving season, and there are a few tanatalisingly close offers. The speed at which it has got to these levels has given me second thoughts however!
at 1M i'd say the car did fine for what it is...i see alot of mediocre/rainbow brite cars coming for sale....i was toying with selling my car last month and clean low mile tasteful cars will be just fine....i think 900k to 1.2M in the USA is a nice place for such a TDF vs f40s etc....at 1.3 to 1.5 it didn't make sense...if they get to 800k they will be incredible buys for the HP, looks, and low production.
