Yep saw that one...The red 4200...didn't that belong to a member or one that Dicky has sold before...Looks familier.

Dave Taylor's old car is the red one. QP went straight away but what a car, sincere apologies on the VW, wholly unacceptable. ;)

The manual on facelift cars is much better than the early ones. Dave's car has always been looked after well and drives superbly.

I think the 456 Ferraris are looking great value at the moment, I have been looking/dreaming about them for a few months, I've had a V8 Ferrari but a V12 has to be ticked off one day, my worry is if I miss these before they start going up (I think they have pretty much bottomed out) I will never be able to afford one, I can't see them making many more if any more V12's so could be the last chance.

I'm glad I have owned and experienced a 456 GTA stunning car and as you say Tony value for money and enabled me to take part at Silverstone last September and be part of the world record. Can be expensive to maintain makes a V8 supercar appear very affordable. But will you ever get the opportunity to have a hand built V12 that cost the first owner a considerable amount ever again in your life. To sum it up Glad I had the chance. Phil.

I used to want one of them but they are very old cars now and manual cars with ASR are hard to find. The auto box is four speed like the 3200 so is pretty old school. In fact these cars are very old now and, personally, I would put the same money into a 2007/2008 GranTurismo.

I second the gearbox comment. My 2005 4200 had a great gear change and was on the factory clutch when I sold it at nearly 50000 miles.

There has to be something said for a 4200, QP and GT without the CC option.....The clutch must last a lot longer helping your costs...
