Hello all, I've been asked to put together a photoshoot with a guide to buying a V12 Ferrari.
The idea would be to meet at a private track at Wrest Park, near Silsoe, Bedfordshire. While it is a private track, it is not a race track. The concept would be to shoot the cars statically for group images and details, before moving on to low-speed tracking behind the camera car. While I would get behind the wheel for driving impressions, we wouldn’t be doing any performance testing/burnouts etc. We will of course be insured.

The cars we are looking for are:

400
456 GT/GTA
550/575
612
599 GTB

Ideally any colour other than black. While I appreciate this is a Maserati forum, I know some of you dabble a little further than Modena.
Ideally I'd like to shoot this in the next three weeks.
Anyone game?

You need a V12 Aston, by way of contrast and to bring some dignity and class to an otherwise mono-cultured event. :)

Only Italian I have these days has two cylinders and a turbo but boy it's a load of fun.
Glad I scratched the itch with a 456 back in 2012.

No idea mate, but one of those cars that quite literally made my jaw drop first time I saw one.

I read the comparison between the Ferrari 400, Espada, Maserati Indy and Iso Lele before buying mine. They weren't that well built back in the day and a lot of parts bin stuff but that's no bad thing. It certainly had presence.
