Yellow F50!!! A12 today

[UnluckyTimmeh]

I've never seen one of these on the move before.

The noise!!!!

Couple of points..

1. UK Reg albeit private F50 plate.

2. RHD? I didn't realise they made any RHD models

3. The noise (christ it was loud)

4. It was in the outside lane and REALLY getting a shift on. Was nice to see it was being used properly.

Anyone know of this car? Is it used much?

ETA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QubWNvqOhxo&fea... I think it was this one. Reg seems to ring a bell....

You sure it was RHD? AFAIK there were only four or five of them, all Pinin specials for the SOB (or his brother, who really is a SOB).

When that car was up here in Cheshire, it was always a pleasure to see and hear when it was out. I do actually miss it.

Saw a red F50 in Kent today, drivng from Brands Hatch down the A20. What a noise! I think i find it better looking than the F40 (there i said it..)

[UnluckyTimmeh]

I'm 99% it was RHD although he did have a passenger. So I guess I could be wrong. I thought it was unlikely to be a RHD too.

Splitting hairs, but I think it was kept a bit closer to Macc than than. Stunning looking thing.

Dont know if it was the same one (that was H1 FSO), but there was a yellow F50 broken down on the M25 last night. That had a different plate on it - F5 OJB IIRC. Didnt see if it was RHD/LHD.

Is there more than one Yellow F50 in the UK?

TBH it could have easily been a different plate. I just noticed from the spacing it had F50 somewhere in it.

A large number of the Sultan's specials have been sold over the years, so it would not surprisee me if the one you saw was one such motor (and given the F50's production run, five RHD cars is not an insignificant amount of the total!). However I don't think any of them were custard, though anyone who can afford an F50 can afford to change the colour (and do it properly).

...speaking of the devil... With his arm outstretched, a quick glance could easily be mistaken for thinking it's RHD.

I saw that to. Just by the A10, stunning looking car

It didn't catch fire today did it?
A mate rang me a couple of hours ago to say he'd just seen a yellow Ferrari on fire near the A10, with a red one parked up behind it.
