With thanks to those on here and all the other forums, I now have a 4200 CC sitting in the drive 
Touring Metallic Grey with black leather. Pictures to follow when I get a chance
Picked up from Uxbridge.
Made a total idiot of myself within 300 yards. Selected neutral as I coasted to a set of lights, then couldn't get first for (what seemed like) 5 minutes. Actually might well have been close to that.
Foot on the brake anyone? *DOH*
So nursed it through Friday pm traffic watching everything really nervously. Managed to avoid *too* much smelling of hot clutch.
M25 was predictably rubbish at 5pm on a Friday. OTOH I'm going *how fast*?!
Everything appears totally spot on.
Temp ran between 80 and 90ish. Those fans make some noise though when in traffic.
Had a brief light failure indicator when I stopped for fuel (!) at South Mimms. Cleared itself.
Handbrake is totally silly.
Oil pressure is good. Voltage also.
HVAC all seems to be working, and the NIT is a replacement (which is what it was waiting for)
Gear shifts seem a tad slow, but I've not really had a chance to stretch it out, or use sport mode.
Spun up the rears once puling out of South Mimms. I'm blaming diesel
Issues: Well, not really
Chrome trim around the air vents.
One of the rear ones is knackered.
No hand free car kit, or iPod (not sure which route to go on that)
Some wear on the driver's bolster and wheel. (Estimate £100 to fix)
Needs a full on valet, although it's clean.
Only has one key (Meridien have quoted me less than the key for my GT!)
Service history not *quite* complete, but pretty close. All from Maranello.
There seems to be a faint transmission whine of some kind, but that may just be me nit being used to it. Is it common?
Other thant very *very* happy
