Hi all my name is Jo and i am a 31 year old from Leeds West Yorkshire England.

I have just bought my second ferrari(458). First one being a 360 spyder.(2007) Gone in Dec 2007.

I am picking her up on the 3rd of August. Ive had a few insurance quotes and roughly they are all around the 12k mark, just wondering if anyone has any jewels hidden in their insurance company?

I will post photos when its delivered to me !

Welcome to F-Life Jo!

I visited Leeds while serving on HMS Ark Royal, what a run ashore!

Congrats on the new acquisition.

Quote seems extremely high. Happy to recommend another broker. Let me know if you would like the name/number.

Congrats Jo, and welcome! The 458 is my dream car - beautiful and amazing capabilities.

What are the specs of your car?

Well the spec is as below... 2011 model on a 60 plate ( awaiting change)
carbon seats, crema leather, red stitching, Emblem Headrest, carbon led steering wheel, red carpets, carbon dash, diamond alloys in grey, cd multi, i pod, blue tooth, fire exting, harness belts,carbon Fiber lower skirts, sat nav,transmission consol in leather, Black Leather Headlining with a Crema leather inset.

Would be great to have a recommendation for the insurance, I just went with the guy that the seller advised me of, and a broker non descript So any help would be appreciated ! I just thought it would be high as im 31

Granucci, I was suppose to be picking the car up tomorrow however, due to the DVLA Reg transfer not coming back it looks like im going to have to wait and the lady at the DVLA was less than helpful in rushing it through !
So im unsure as to when i will get it ! The seller said that he could deliver it to my house or is it better to pick up from dealership?

Hmm. Dealership or home. Well, IF you already know the particulars of the cars gidgets and gadgets then home might be ok....BUT I would like to put my own dents in it and get some last min. rundowns on the gizmos..so, I'd probably opt for the dealership.

Knowing me, it would be a day off and after picking [no particular] route, take it for a spin away from too much traffic.

[Boxer]

My 2 cents, definitely the dealership.

Until your pending delivery. Here is a vid on how it's built [perhaps waiting and seeing this isn't a good idea]: How a Ferrari 458 Italia is built :: People :: autoviva.com
