Don't know that car but Carrs Ferrari have got a Rosso Scuderia with Nero Italia about to hit the market.

It’ll have been in blocks and run backwards. Fortunately it didn’t end up crashing out the back of the garage.

Don't think it is.

This is what was posted on Collecting Cars.........

The cherished plate ‘V888 RAR’ (not pictured) is also included in the sale. The plate ‘2 AAK’ as shown on the car is NOT included in the sale.

That's the car, I also found this when doing digging on it.

Car has been sat since 2021 and just had a major completed at Grey Paul, just over £5k. Mileage was confirmed by dealer as I thought it could of been a clocker.

Mileage on collecting cars was 29969, it's just over 30500 now

Would the gap in service history be a put off? Given its had the remaining years all done by main dealer and a major completed in February?

My only worry is given how long it's been sat doing nothing could ultimately be more risky with failures.

I've viewed the car twice and it is a lovely example, just these bits that are bugging me with the purchase.

If I was a cynic I’d suggest that it’s been clocked and that this is a reaction to people pointing out the discrepancy.

I would give it a wide berth…it will be hard to sell on when you need to.

Buy one with full yearly service and MOT

Hi Tom

This looks to be my old car. I had it for almost 5 years, bought from and always serviced by Maranello Egham. Car was faultless throughout my ownership but be wary as it had around 29k miles when i sold it on back in 2020 so i would definately question the mileage

Hope this helps

Hi George
Thanks for this.
Did you sell the car through collectingcars?
https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2010-ferrari-4...

I can see it had just under 30k and was sold back in 2021.

From what I'm told it was a collector who purchased the car and it was just left garaged.

I did ask Grey Paul when discussing the inspection notes if it could potentially have been clocked and they stated not. If it didn't have the after market exhaust they would of allowed the warranty on the car. Even the discs were only <5% worn.

If I were you I’d need a very good reason to pick this car over one that doesn’t have any questions over the history.

[George-eed]

No, i sold the car through Supercar Sourcing. The buyer was a supercar lottery company, i cant recall the name, and i believe it was subsequently won by someone. I did see the car later on CC but that was not through me.

Hi George

That would be great to chat, I've tried emailing you but you look to have it disabled.

This could possibly be to be the car, which shows as 26,500

Think I just need to give this one a miss as the more digging I do, the more dodgy it looks, which is a shame!
