The was a red one at the Fezza shop in Egham on Tuesday.
Saw one at the Goodwood BC a few months ago too.
Agree, the back end is a bit odd, but they have to fit the roof in it.
Not bad for a first attempt!

Think I saw the same red one at Egham last weekend, and I have to say I'm not a fan. It just doesn't look like a Ferrari............maybe more a Maserati 
For me it's of those cars that looks okay in the photos, but not in real life. And it looks better with the roof up as well. Close, but no cigar.

Spotted one a red one in Marbella last week, looked very nice from the front as it approached but didnt get a good view of the back. Wouldnt be my choice for a Ferrari if i was buying though... Not a fan of those stacked exhausts, saw several 599s as well and they look far better..

The one I saw Dan was on the fore court of Maranello Sales, so probably not the same one.
Have to agree with you Jim on those stacked exhausts. They look a bit too "chav" for my liking. The type of thing you'd see on a Corsa or Saxo, not a Ferrari. The 599 is a much nicer looking car imo.........with a much larger price tag

There is a white demo at Graypaul in Nottingham.
Looks great from the front, but the back is just too chunky and the quad exhaust are a bit fugly, remind me of the IS-F and I think it's the worst part of that car too.
The new Merc Gullwing is soooo much better looking, and I would easily have an R8 Roadster over the California too.
