I heard you need some special invitation to buy an Enzo, is that true

You have to have owned an f40 and an f50 also or something to that effect.

iirc yea, need an invitation from Ferrari, have to be known to them, and have had a history of previous Ferraris I think

I stroked the carrera GT. It was very hard.

Didn't get to sit in the cars but still was nice. Oh yeah I forgot

Norton Village! we must live near each other, the only stuff ive seen is a few Bentley Continental's and the odd Porsche there is a rather Chaved up saxo round my way though

Yep, I live in Norton, not the village like! You're right, there's a multitude of chavved up Saxos in Stockton!

Phew! At the roundabout today and what should appear before me but this!

Very loud.

good work Skull, a truely excellent spot, just like that carerra gt

Morba · 18 Apr 2006 at 21:40

the Enzo invitation stipulation was for the first 2 years of them being released iirc. you had to have serious previous ferarri ownership to be invited, if you sold it within the first 2 years, then you had to sell it back to ferarri. that 2 years has passed now, so anyone with enough money can buy them.

i think noz can confirm this, im sure he confirmed or added some info on this to another post of mine elsewhere :]

saw this monstrosity of a punto the other night, the rear was far worse than the front, but couldnt get a pic of it in my half drunk state.

Morba · 18 Apr 2006 at 23:12

as much as that punto isnt nice, its not a monstrosity. front and rear bumpers, side skirts and some decent sized alloys.

I've seen them all, Carrera GT / Enzo / SLR / Ford GT / Zonda / just about every ferrari ever, Cheshire rocks

Seen a Ford GT out of them, would love to see a SLR in person and listen to it

Suppose, I dont see any because I dont have a car lol. If I had one, I would be driving all over the place, seeing what I could come up with

Another Enzo there for you Zip, saw it yesterday

That was one of the first Enzos in the UK, I remember seeing it at an Aston Martin Owners Club race day back in 2003 and being amazed by how good it looked. The owner races all sorts of things for fun.

As I understood it you had to be invited to buy an Enzo, as several others have alluded to. Owning the previous Ferrari supercars wasn't a prequisite, you just had to have a good relationship with an official dealer (read: spent more money with them than most will earn in a lifetime).

Saw an SLR the other day, however havent seen any of the others (bar ever ferrari practically except an Enzo) the noise was unbelieveable, ive never heard anything like it in my life, brilliant. Guess i need to drive around more at home!

Just chillin in my local ferrari dealership...

Nice! But hang on, what are those two cars?

Oh I see!

Nice pics mate. Like the way you just say, 'chillin in the local Ferrari dealership'

Did you get to walk around abit or having to stay in the certain area's?

In the Carrera GT pic, was that a 575M in white in the background? Got any pics of that? I think it looks good actually. Different to just 'Ferrari Red' lol.

Very nice slick Bentley up in the air. Is that a 430 next to it?

3 Enzo's in one place. Thats not bad at all. Looks damn sexy. Left hand drive though? Imported or something?

Got to pop down to the Lambo Garage in Stockport me thinks, and get some pics. Only from the outside though. Doubt they would let a guy come into the showroom that had just been on a 10 mile ride on his bike to get thier lol.

Nozzer · 19 Apr 2006 at 12:29

That is a 430 and all Enzos are LHD.

Bennah · 19 Apr 2006 at 12:31

Thought so.

Why are all Enzo's LHD? Thought Ive seen a RHD one in a pic before now, but I guess I was wrong.

Nozzer · 19 Apr 2006 at 12:35

Because Ferrari are an Italian company and they drive on the right over there?

There may be a couple of RHD ones knocking around. The Sultan of Brunei had a couple of F40s and an F50 converted to RHD so may have done the same with an Enzo but I don't remember ever having seen one.

Bennah · 19 Apr 2006 at 12:54

Hehe, but dont other companys in their native country, drive on the other side of the road but they have RHD options in the UK lol.

Anyways, would love to see what The Sultan of Brunei has in his garage. A couple of F40's. Thats not bad is it

Just a few recent pics from around Brighton...
