    Hi there,

    I’m new to the site and Ferrari ownership and looking for a recommendation for someone to undertake an inspection a 612 or 550?

    Ideally mobile in view of the lockdown but could possibly get cars delivered to garages if open.

    If mobile would cover London, Herts, Essex and Kent areas.

    Regards

    Welcome

    Mobile is tricky but you could ask Mark at morethanpolish in the first instance

    Garages could include Autoficcina Rardley KHPC but the cars are sufficiently rare that it would be better not to give yourself geographical constraints in your search

    If you are looking at a 550 or 612 do not rule out a 575 altho' I guess you need to figure out if you want F1 or manual - lots of information about them all in the various model sections

    Welcome Paul,

    Also Tim at WalkerSports (never heard a bad word, ever!) does travel but not sure about in these times. Aldous as "Aldous voice" more London way.

    Worth joining (free) www.clubscuderia.co.uk. UK centric forum with a huge wealth of intel. FChat for more volume of intel on specific models.

    Also worth posting up which car you are interested in as somebody might know it; or at least if your buying from a garage which garage; as some have better reputations than others!!!

    Good luck...and we like pictures ;)

    Hi

    Completely agree with A348W looking at clubscuderia and regarding Tim Walker from Walkersport. He helped me with my 612 purchase last year (based in East London/Essex borders). From my understanding, pre Covid-19, he used to do PPI in most of the areas you spoke of ....All I can say he was awesome. :)

    My background, this 612 was my first ferrari or indeed anything in this particular pedigree. So used FChat and clubscuderia to help with my thought process

    In case of interest

    If I can help with anything let me know.

    Good luck with the hunt and everyone keep safe
