If it's 3300 cc then it's a 275, so probably a 275GTB4

A bit difficult to tell what car it is from the information given but it will say first registered in 2006 because that would be when it was imported to the UK as far as the DVLA are concerned. I think it may be the case that it had been registered in the UK prior to the DVLA's current computer systems and still show as 2006 but I'm not 100% sure about that. Equally it could be a car that was new to South Africa, Hong Kong or other right hand drive market and had not been registered in the UK prior to 2006. If I knew the registration then I would probably have some history.

Thanks Doofus, I can see why you've got such a high post count.
I was trying to respect the owner of the car Doofus, who may not want his reg number splashed all over the Internet Doofus.

From the picture it appears to be a 330GTC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_330 but the engine size is wrong (probably an error)

It also appears to be left hand drive which would also help to indicate (along with the date of UK registration) that it wasn't supplied new to the UK.

That's respectful. However given Instagram and its army of spotters (one lad has 170,000 followers) the days of re-touching plates in pics are numbered. Nice car.

Yes hahaha.

Surely you can see that your question was somewhat thwarted by the lack of a picture though?



Oh, and just FYI, I chose the username 'doofus', so using it as an insult kind of won't work.
