I'm not sure exactly the name of this model, I was speaking to the Chauffeur and he informed me there is only seven in the world... Right before the woman owner of the car came over and told him off for chipping some of the paintwork off on the front by accident LOL. So I thought I had better leave them to it!
I'm sure you will know what it is...

From Wikipedia:

"A wagon (estate) called the Ferrari 456 GT Venice was also built. Only a small handful were made by Pininfarina. Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei ordered seven to be built. After Pininfarina designed and built them, the prince only purchased six."

I presume it must be! Unless he sold some of them...?
