I'm sure there are more knowledgable folk to tell you, if Napolis doesn't fill you in (or you Google), but started life as an Enzo ... hope that give you an idea of how stunning this machine is. I was lucky enough to see it up clse at Goodwood FoS last year

to Napolis for getting such a thing created and sharing it with the world!

Would love to hear more about them

Thanks for sharing.

The Mason 512LM was there too at what was a premier division, heavyweight assemblage of very significant Ferrari.

That just looks plain ugly to me, why spoil an Enzo like that.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but why don't you like it?

I thought that too, initially. Someone then posted the models which prompted the styling and it gave me a better appreciation of the car.

I dont recall what models they were, but essentially historical racing Ferrari's of days gone by, I believe.

That would be the Ferrari P3/4:




Quite why that would change you from not liking it to liking it is bizarre.

I've always loved it, take the ferrari badges off and stick some skoda ones on and i'd still love it, it's about the design not the provenance.

400 lbs lighter, .6 second faster to 100kph, 2X the down-force, more balanced, more tire so better turn in and less need for traction control, shorter front overhang so doesn't scrape on the road, GPS, IPod, more top speed, less drag, greener...

Jim, do you have an shots of the inside of the car?

I'm not saying I like it, but I appreciate it for what it is - a masterpiece. It’s not to my taste but you can’t dispute that it’s a work of art.

...Ipod... genius

Absolutely love this car - nothing but admiration for it - would love to see and hear it in the flesh.

James, are their any pictures of the rest of your collection?

[Cheeky Jim]

Jim, after spending a small fortune on it...(fabulous by the way)...do you get to drive it much?

Seems that it's always at a different show somewhere around the globe!

just interested really!
