IT'S HERE! Collecting My New FERRARI 296 GTS

It's finally time to collect my brand new Ferrari 296 GTS! It's been a long time coming, but join me at HR Owen Ferrari to pull the covers off my first convertible supercar from Maranello, and head straight around to ‪@TopazDetailing‬ to get it ready for the road. The spec is perfect, let's go!
I ordered the 296 GTS a couple of years ago, a car that in some ways is similar to my SF90 Stradale but yet is also really quite different. As my first open top Ferrari it also features the new hybrid V6 powertrain, and I've gone for a spec that is totally different to anything I've had before. Today we're setting off from ‪@TheShmuseum‬ in the SF90 for the run out to Ferrari London's sister dealership in Hatfield to take delivery.
The new car is finished in Rosso Dino; a throwback colour to the original choice for the launch of the 1960s Dino, and that's over satin Grigio Corsa wheels to link through to the dual tone grey interior. The outside is complemented with Giallo calipers and the Scuderia Shields, with the interior featuring a contrast stitch and embroidery in Arancio to match the exterior colour. With all the carbon fibre options, and the satin black exhaust, it looks the part as we pull the covers back in the handover bay at the new showroom.
The first drive however is literally only a 30 second run to the new facility of ‪@TopazDetailing‬ where we meet up again with Nabil to find out all the latest updates. Now with multiple sites in the UK and afield including the Middle-East and Asia, the newest location supports the business infrastructure of all the dealerships that have opened in the Hatfield area. Ultimately, that means for a customer it's incredibly easy to have the car fully protected from new, and be ready to drive out instantly!

Congratulations Tim! This is one of the very best modern Ferraris (I would even say it's the best since the 458 left us)

[@Shmee150]

It's genuinely a brilliant car, I'm looking forward to many miles ahead

[@antoniorogic1]

​@@Shmee150Congratulations

[@A26638gahxb]

Definitely not in my top 100 list of Ferraris 😂

[@bucabrandon]

Holy cow, Tim. I've been following since you had your Audi S5, and it's truly wild to see you collecting this dream machine. Congrats.

[@Shmee150]

Wow, thanks!

[@SB-kw6oo]

Already?!? Time flies by, thanks for sharing and congrats Tim ❤️

[@Shmee150]

I can't believe it arrived already! Ferrari pumping them out, but I'm not complaining

[@maxturner8348]

The 296 GTS was the first ever ferrari that my brother had seen ever and in that exact colour as well thank you shmee for bringing me back to that memory 👍

[@derickbrits208]

Congrats Tim! Thank you in sharring this very special moment with us! Always a good day when Shmee collects a new car!

[@02grak]

Lots of nods to the Dino’s of the 60’s. The support behind the headrests reminds me a lot of the 250 LM Spyder though less exaggerated. Beautiful car, beautiful spec. Congrats, Tim!

[@theetactician]

Congrats Tim! I love the color. It’s really like so many colors in one. Inside on camera it is very orange. Outside in the sun (maybe overcast during the wash) it looked very soft almost like a peach and I can only imagine that in person it probably looks completely different.

[@richardwilsonartwork]

stunning! Love the colour so much, and also how these places allow you to be in there like you own the whole place! Shows the respect they have for you as a force in this industry not just a client! Also the so subtle flex you pulled with the 2 keys!!! AMazing

[@bojansmokvoski2597]

Congratulations Tim, drive safely 👌🔥🔥

[@BigD78CarMan]

Congratulations Tim!!! I normally watch your videos on my break the day after they are uploaded! But I was so excited to see your New Ferrari 296 GTS!! I watched it shortly after you uploaded!! Love it!! 👍

[@dhruvmistry2584]

Very congratulations Tim! Wishing you happy miles ahead and looking forward to see 296 on tracks and tours

[@manelv.5351]

Congratulations Tim, you deserve it.

[@SebVictor]

I love the color choice you selected for the 296 it makes a very good contrast! ❤

[@pasquale78]

Wow congratulations Tim! Excellent spec you’ve chosen. Also cool to see yours next to the other one at Topaz. You can really see the difference between a body color roof vs black gloss paint.

[@Spiritualgangster888]

Congrats Tim! Superb choice going for the Rosso Dino paintwork.

[@flyingphoenix113]

Excellent spec. Brilliant choice with the satin touches instead of black. The yellow accents really highlight the redish orange hue of the body. I'm not a tremendous fan of the grigio in the interior, but it's otherwise pretty hard to find fault with the car (and, obviously, subjective fault, at that).

[@matmul4850]

It's lovely, but it's very obviously "resale spec". Not criticising, makes sense if it's not a keeper.

[@maybeharold]

​@@christophermonksatin

[@Kronos0999]

​@@matmul4850Obviously not a keeper; it's trash

[@DamienTanner1]

That interior looks superb. Great choices!

[@juanmiguelezP]

As soon as I saw you standing in front of the 1m, my mind went directly to that orange Roma you recently spotted around Monaco, you definitely seemed quite enthusiastic about it… I haven’t even watched this video yet… but I know it’s going to be rosso Dino. Amazing, definitely a hidden gem. That Ferrari portfolio is definitely taking shape now, and I can’t wait to see your convertible Roma. Thanks for sharing all these Tim, cheers from Spain 🇪🇸

[@benjaminhoskins9903]

​@Shmee150 you dont have to answer if its to personal but back in 2010 when I went into the Ferrari dealer here in Florida to speck, sign a bunch of paperwork and put the deposit for my 1st ever from New 2011 599 SA Aperta, in my contact it stated that if I wanted to sell it within 3 years of taking delivery I had to give Ferrari the first right of refusal for them to buy it back from me. Did you have to sign anything similar in your contract with your smartly speckled SF90 or your beautifully specked 296 GTS? I didn't know if it was something I had to sign because it was limited to only 80 units or if every new Ferrari is done that way.

[@Negus4747]

Congratulations tim That car sounds like a V12 at high revs for some reason Would love you to get a 812 gts one day You are inspiring love your work man

[@SimonGr8]

Yes Tim, congratulations. I love the Ferrari collection you are building. Ferrari is just a special brand of cars

[@Shmee150]

Couldn't agree more!

[@siddharthl_12]

CONGRATULATIONS Tim! Perfect Birthday Gift!!🎉

[@kevinDG7]

The first video i watched was when you collected your first ferrari, and now. a couple of years later, still enjoyingthe videos. Congratulations on your second and not last ferrari

[@pedromeggiolaro]

Congrats Shmee! The color is magnificent.

[@stevenstrassberg3776]

It's absolutely beutiful Tim.A perfect spec. May you enjoy it immensely.

[@dsummers8191]

That really is a lovely specification choice. Wishing you many miles of happy motoring. Big expansions for Topaz. I see they have been on a recruiting mission from Auto Finesse going by the chap who is cleaning the car. Good luck in the new venture. Thank you.

[@voorheesjason3161]

Collection days and the videos are THE BEST !!! Excited for you and for the adventures 🙏 😬👍🏻 Exceptional choices btw ... astonishing. The flex though ... 😂😂😂 Wow 😙👌🏼

[@Glennyboy85]

Looks awesome! Excited for some adventures and amazing videos soon!

[@Shmee150]

Lots of 296 videos to come

Congratulations! The spec turned out magnificent 💪🏼

I think the spec was chosen perfectly by a certain somebody...

[@fit_pharmd4830]

Crazy how time flies, I vividly remember your GT 40 trip across America as if it was just uploaded weeks ago. Just all the memories you make, when you’re 90 and looking back on your life and having it all recorded will be such a reflection bc you can actually re watch memories…what a wild life you’ve created.

A thing of beauty Tim, I think it is still my favourite modern Ferrari with it's clever blend of classic and modern styling. Superb.

[@CAB_18]

congratulations Tim!!! That car is truly stunning and the spec suits it sooooo well. The 2 cars, SF90 and 296 look epic together!!!!! Absolutely amazing🤩🙂

[@Onthemainline]

A beautiful spec you got there Tim! Absolutely stunning, especially along side the SF90! All you need now is an F8 Tributo to go along side them and you’ll have the full mid engine Ferrari line up!

[@utkarshkaushik617]

Always great to see a new ferrari in the collection congrats tim

[@axellozano1642]

Would have never thought of this spec, when i saw you video i was a like would it look good? and well, it looks amazing !!! congrats on the car and God Bless.

What a perfect car. Love everything about it and especially the color! The entire car is impressive but I have to say the front trunk luggage space is one of the most impressive things haha!

[@BK-1103]

Congratulations Tim 👏🎉. That's one beautiful car you've got there. The spec is mad heavy 🔥🔥🔥. Can't wait for the vlogs......

Love the idea of this; what about if we wait until the Purosangue is here and do it with that?

Hey Shmee! We’re heading to LA around the 21-28th of Oct. Do you think we will see the Zenvo? (P.S: sorry for commenting so much recently) 😅

[@paraclk]

I am hoping you reply, but I understand it may be hard to reply to everyone! ❤

[@Adzyboy458]

That interior is just wow, great decision from you Tim absolutely top notch!

[@Taylor___]

Aw Tim, FINALLLLY. You bought a Ferrari IN red! Well, it's close, you went for the orange tinted one but stilll! It's kinda red

[@suspectlogo]

I think if you added carbon wheels they would match this spec better... but this spec is so gorgeous! Congratulations Tim!

[@Shmee150]

For a car I actually want to drive, you lose some of that freedom with carbon wheels as you need to worry about them - integrity if you get any damage, and value from them being stolen!

[@suspectlogo]

@@Shmee150 Now make more sense... a nice daily driver ins't? congrats for the new car Tim!

[@ahyaan2552]

[@Samo_Wings]

Dang Tim… Right there, is a spectacular spec on the 296. Great choices, I absolutely love it! Congrats! 👏🏻

[@spacepig7434]

Beautiful design and great spec. If the roof is retracted when wet, will the fabric headliner on the smaller roof section get soaked by water from the large front roof piece? It flips onto its back, then the larger piece looks like it would tip water over it when folding in (beautifully)? Obviously I don’t mean putting the roof down when it’s lashing it down with rain.

[@marvellousmarvin]

Awesome car Tim. 😮 Can wait to see it travelling around Europe 👍

[@willemvandernest3249]

It's a beautiful car Tim. Congratulations. The interior is to die for to be honest. It's elegant and style full with a sporty tone to it. At first I wasn't too keen on the orange when you mentioned it back then but seeing it now I must agree it's really looking great. Can't wait for your first tour with it
