I live in the same area as Hugh Grant and my kids live on the same street as him
He has a beautiful F12 TDF which I see most weeks.
It is kept on the street in central London,is used as a daily driver and when I saw it on Friday morning was covered in mud (presumably from an outing to the country).
I have been one of the first to moan about celebrity LE allocations but top marks to HG, he is tifosi and uses his car as it is meant to be used.

He's been filming down here in Devon apparently, if that is the case it could explain the mud, of which we have plenty rofl

Had a chat with him about the car at a recent event and thought he was a thoroughly nice chap. I didn't realise he left it on the street..

He has been papped a few times broken down on the side of the road.

I think his first Ferrari was a California followed by an F12 and then the TDF.
On normal criteria he was lucky to get a TDF allocation but I'm sure the video he made whilst visiting the factory helped !!
I don't begrudge this particular celebrity allocation at all because of the way he uses the car.

Have seen his TDF a few times, it always looks well used.

Rumour has it that he also has an F40 - can anyone confirm?

I believe he's filming in a Hertford this week.

He does own an F40, or rather did, an early non cat model. It was sold last month.

in London no one cares about ferraris or supercars though, it's no big deal to park them on the street all the time imo

Completely incorrect.

He lives a few doors up from our family, and I’ve seen him in it numerous times.
