LaFerrari, 288, F40, F50 and Enzo: Time For Tea?

Collector arrives in style to pick up his LaFerrari

---

A road trip to Maranello with a 288 GTO, an F40, F50 and Enzo to celebrate collection of the owner's new LaFerrari. Oh to be a close friend of Ferrari collector Jon Hunt and called on to help out with that little ferrying job...

Let me just check the diary a minute Jon...

That this epic trip and the adventures that must have taken place on the road to Maranello are merely hinted at and the film instead focuses merely on a suitably chuffed Mr Hunt and his newly expanded collection might seem a cause for disappointment. After all, who wouldn't want to see an extended film of his foursome blasting across Europe to meet with LaFerrari.

We're instead left with (a pretty cool) photo of all the cars grouped together and a mental image of what the trip must've been like. As any film director will tell you, it's often what you don't show that's as powerful as what you do and the fly-splattered frontages of the cars that were driven out speak volumes of his ownership model.

Just a snippet of the cars in convoy somewhere in the Alps would have been nice though!

See here

Jaw - floor.

Nice work if you can get it eh? There's a man with a sense of occasion.

[RC1]

not normally a ferrari guy but would have probably made an exception this time round just to help out...

[eliotrw]

Any one of those would do me

[fullleather]

Im almost certain the "il commendatores" private office is in that building at the rear, it remains untouched as it was from when he died back on 14th August 1988 aged 90 he witnessed the launch of the F40 shortly before his death...

There's nine people in the photo - guess someone was sitting one someone else's lap for the drive down.

For that road trip I'd hang on to the back of one of them on a skateboard!

Trying to make this work... But there's just no space in any of these cars.

And must work harder.

[HereBeMonsters]

Glad to see a "collector" also drives them as well!

Slow news day..

I'm guessing the main man was probably flown out by Ferrari in advance to complete paperwork and go through a nice bit of glad-handing before getting the keys to the LaF.

[greygoose]

Nice to see cars like that being used.

[JayUK91]

Now let's see his son drive the LaFerrari so we can get another TaxTheRich video!

Look forward to seeing the latest edition in one of the TaxTheRich100 films soon

should have taken the other enzo and F50 he has, surprised he didn't buy two Laferraris

Why not the 250GTO

[P4ROT]

Nice to see someone who actually uses them, rather than keeping them as status symbols/investments (I know this always gets said, but 60k in an Enzo must be very, very rare).

[CC07 PEU]

A missed opportunity for a good video. Thumbs down from me.

[sideways man]

That film had the potential to be great.

Unfortunately......

[carinaman]

Good man! He parked the 288GTO in the shade.
