    I bought a 456 a few weeks back and finally got the car home today. The car was located in Riyadh, and I had the car delivered to the dealership for a major service. Picked it up today and after a major detour for a few hours I took it home! You have to understand the Ferrari dealership is two minutes away, so driving in the opposite direction was a good start!

    They cleaned up the engine really well, but didnt do a great job of the interior. So yup you've guessed it I had to take the car out again to wash and get the interior cleaned.

    Was fab to drive, but I didnt really get a chance to push it as the traffic here is ridiculous (even at night). Up to 3500 revs its actually pretty civilised, but push past that and all hell brakes loose!

    Ive got very used to the colour too and looks awesome at night. Admittedly the car needs a few things done (eg rear shocks), but overall Im very happy. Now that the interior is cleaned I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them up.

    I think Yellow looks smashing on the gentlemen's GT, gives it a retro 60s touch :), I'm a big fan of the 456 and yours is a gem of an example :)

    Drive her in health :)

    Hi Adnaan,

    Great 456, congratulations!

    Maybe I have seen your car in Dubai in December 2006? It was for sale at "Romeo Car Showroom" at the Al Aweer used car complex.
    It´s a GTA and has a dark blue interior, just like yours.

    Maybe could you compare the s/n of your car with the one I saw in Dubai to see if it´s indeed the same car? The one in Dubai was s/n 104175

    Here are two pics I took, sorry for the not so good quality.

    Ciao,

    Lars T.

    Lars that is indeed my car! Well I never knew the car had gone to Dubai for sale, as I went through a middle man so never met the owner. The car was originally supplied to Saudi and was kept registered here until I bought it. I can only think the owner tried his luck in Dubai and then transported the car back to Saudi. Do you have any further details like price etc?
    Thanks Mike. Dead cool, but im having the plates taken off tomorrow to get the export plates issued. Im sure a 456 in the UK will cost me bucks!

    Hi Adnaan,

    Sorry, unfortunately I don't know further details like mileage and price as the car was for sale in Dubai.
    But fun to hear that it is indeed your car, thanks for the confirmation!

    Ciao,

    Hello again Adnaan,

    Since I read you will be taking the car to London, will it be registered on U.K. plates there or are you only taking it there during the summer and then back to Saudi again?

    Ciao,

    Lars T.

    Neither am I, haha! Nice to hear this rare yellow 456 will find a new home in London. Definitely better chances for us Europeans of spotting it there than in Jeddah :)
