Looking closer, it might actually be pink-ish.

That’s the danger of buying a car without seeing it first.

Oh well.

The floor looks pink-ish too, so suspect the car is silver in the flesh.


ETA: this is likely the colour

Blimey what colour is that… hope for OP it’s the colour of the wing mirror shot which looks Grigio Titanio. Just look on build sheet for paint colour, did you put deposit down or paid outright without seeing it?

I agreed to buy it, so that’s a done deal.

Ah yes, rings a bell. I know he was considering a Portofino as well.

Not me, no.

I’ve an Emira, a 650s, a Range Rover, a GR Yaris, and my most frequently used car, an electric Smart.

Nice collection. What prompted the Portofino?

I’ve two little boys who absolutely love coming out in “daddy’s racing cars” but rarely can, so a 2+2 gives me the chance to take the whole family out.

The McLaren nearly never gets used. It’s an absolutely wonderful car, but rarely feels like the right choice, so just doesn’t get used. That and the Lotus will be getting sold.

How did you get on with the Emira? I’m guessing you can’t have had it for long.

I think it’s a really nice car. I’ve had it a year, and its handling and feel is absolutely top-tier, but I find the V6 engine a bit bland. Maybe it’ll get better after it frees up a bit, but from new the shape of the power curve feels wrong, there’s no real build of pace as you get towards the red line.

It’s not a patch on the K-series as it was in the S1 Elise, the straight-4 in the Esprit or Excel, or even the three in the Yaris.

I suspect the AMG engine and auto box might be a better option.

You're in for a treat with the Ferrari. And when the kids are older, trade for a V12 Lusso...

Checked out the colour its really pink - you will hate it. So to save you some hassle I'll take it of your hands, obviosly at a forced sale price
