Spotted a 456GT ESTATE CAR

Yep, must be one of those sultan specials.

In Knightsbridge yesterday afternoon I saw a silver car (reg *X0) that turned out to be a Ferrari 456GT estate. Looked splendid.

Can anyone tell me something more about this? How many were made & by whom (Ferrari or aftermarket)?

If memory serves, there were five cars comissioned for the Sultan of Brunei. All were built by Pininfarina. All looked identical, and featured a wretched lime green interior. All also were GTAs I think, as opposed to GTs.

The best looking estate car in the world.

Although the Alfa 156 Sportwagon runs it a close second

The guy with the 456 estate live's near Bishops avenue in london .He's also got an Enzo and a SL65 amg to name a few.He leaves them all outside under car covers including the Enzo.......

Sorry Dinkel, Aston shooting breaks have never done anything for me.

yeah, he also has a black Mercedes 300SL (original Gullwing) with the plate 1A. I always drive past there and see try to see what's parked under the covers. Itsin Winnington Road, a massive house and they have obviously bought the massive house next door and knocked them into one (about a 200 foot frontage!). They have something to do with the Sultan of Brunei.

One of the the great collectors of cars some oil person, sold off one 456 (blue) estate in 2003 (ish). went for around the £200k mark. great for going to tesco in !

Another bit of useless information ..

Yep that car is mentioned a lot on ferrari chat.com, originally a Sultanof Brunei vehicle which was sold into the real world in 2003 through DK Engineering in Watford (I think.)
