The 612 Scaglietti was designed to replace the smaller 456 M; its larger size makes it a true 4 seater with adequate space in the rear seats for adults. The design, especially the large side scallops and the headlights, pays homage to the custom 1954 Ferrari 375 MM. The 612 is Ferrari's second all-aluminium vehicle, the first being the 360 Modena.

The underground garages in Hong Kong are treasure troves of supercars and classics of all kinds. This Silver Seraph V12 just looked beautiful. Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 The Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph, produced from 1998 to 2002, was first unveiled on March 3, 1998 at the Geneva Motor Show. The Silver Seraph replaced the Silver Spur, which ended production in 1997. The Seraph was powered by a 5.4 L aluminium alloy BMW V12 engine and was operated via a 5-speed automatic transmission, making it the first twelve-cylinder Rolls-Royce since the 1939 Phantom III. Standard electronics included digital engine management, adaptive ride control and anti-lock brakes.

This old beauty was seen resting in an underground car park in Hong Kong.

It is always nice to see an antique Rolls Royce. This one is at Museo dell' Automobile , Turin, Italy. Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 The Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost refers both to a car model and to one specific car from that series. Originally named the "40/50 h.p." the chassis was first made at Royce's Manchester works, with production moving to Derby in July 1908, and also, between 1921 and 1926, in Springfield, Massachusetts. Chassis no. 60551, registered AX 201, was the car that was originally given the name "Silver Ghost." Other 40/50 hp cars were also given names, but the Silver Ghost title was taken up by the press, and soon all 40/50s were called by the name, a fact not officially recognised by Rolls-Royce until 1925, when the Phantom range was launched. The Silver Ghost was the origin of Rolls-Royce's claim of making the "Best car in the world" – a phrase coined not by...
