Nice 612 Scaglietti

[estacion]

Hexagon classics have a nice 612 with less than 700 miles from new!

jeez, how can you have a car like that and only do 700 miles in 9 years, less than 100 miles a year
Not good for the car.
I would prefer a 456, prefer the looks

[benters]

unfortunately it adds fuel to the fire that not every Fezza is a good looking car. . .or indeed desireable. . .just opinion, flame suit on !

Something doesn't seem right about that car....

Look at the wear on the drivers seat, considering it has done less than a 1000 miles, I would have expected (hoped) the seat would have held up a little better.... perhaps look as good as the passenger seat.

Unless the original owner was massive and only drove it 700 miles because he couldn't fit inside!

<edit - It looks like the car has come from Monaco, so may have only done super short distances circa 3/4 miles at a time... hence the low mileage, but wear on the drivers seat from entering and exiting the car.

Totally agree. Needs bigger rims. Still think the 456 is a far better looking car.

total agree about the wheels here is mine with the HGT2 pack

[priley]

The challenge wheels suit the car so much better than the original split rims, angular OTO ones or the plain five spokes. The split rims seem such as fussy choice for the car. So if anyone has any challenge ones they'd like to swap for split rims...

Deffo need the bigger wheels and sport exhaust...mine has exchanged hands twice since I sold...

Blatant 'ramping'. Someone must have something to sell...

Believe me they are an affordable pleasure , or you can buy some Pork RS for £200k .Having had those I find the 612 a lot more fun to drive as not boring , is overpowered and handles interestingly when pushed....

How usable are the rear seats in a 612?

I've currently got a Bentley GTC for the sensible family car, are these as roomy in the back?

Quite usable. My boys (oldest 9) sit there v happily. I tested it myself when I first for the car.... If I move the drivers seat a notch or two closer than is perfect for my driving position then I can sit on the rear seat myself. I'm 5ft 10 or so.

I'm sorry, but the 365/400 have always been aesthetically challenged....and always will be. Just like the Mondial and 365 GTE 2+2. In fact Fez have always had problems with design of 2+2's. The 612 is not the most beautiful Fez but is not a munter.

All IMHO of course!

I guess attempting to combine a V12 and decent rear leg room into a GT package is always going to be a challenge. However I think the 456 is a lovely looking thing though I can't vouch for the rear leg room. The 612 legroom isn't too bad and looks pretty damned good from most angles. Mine's the blue one. Liking the (430?) wheels on the black one.

[voicey]

The 612 is really growing on me and the early cars are looking like a real bargain. The only trouble for me is that I can't fit one into my garage!

[priley]

They're big cars-the distance from the drivers seat to the front of the probably the length of a small car! However the bonnet drops away sharply so you have no sense of that behind the wheel, just seeing the road.

[bertie]

I'm fairly odd in that I've always liked the look of them, still not sure how good rear accommodation and refinement is compared to Bentley GTC?

Having said that, the looks of the FF have grown on me and they're very usable, wonder wat they will bottom out at?
