Welcome to Ferrari Life Ale456. Is your 456 TdF Blue? One of my favourite colours for a 456. Feel free to post some pics of your new toy and tell us a bit more about it.

Welcome, always nice to have another V12 owner. The 456 is a really attractive car with classic good looks and a lot of V12 hp and torque.

Thanks to all! I'm from Italy . I've some pictures in the phone! I'm tryng to upload it !
Yes I love that combo since I was a child. I love Blue Car, yes this is tdf i think.
Is the fourth Blue Car that I've bought in my life..
Now I need to try the V12 !! The powerfull car that I had (and have) is the Z4 3.0!!!

But there is a little problem.. I Need to fix the gearbox before! Maybe is better to Find a "new" one!
If somebody can help me I will be happy and grateful!

I'll post the pictures as soon as I can

I think the previous owner didn't love cars and Ferrari like me (and us I think!).
With me this car will have a new Better life!
