A couple of weeks after the Monterey auction, that is coinciding with the famed Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the auction house RM Sothebys will open its doors in London on September 6th. It is there where a very special Ferrari Enzo with chassis number 136085 will be auctioned off. This Enzo was originally delivered in the unique color of Matt Titanio Extra Campionario, the only example finished in this unusual and lovely hue, over a Pelle Cuoio interior.
The Ferrari Enzo was shipped in November of 2004 to official dealer Forza S.p.A., which sold it to Prince Akim, member of a Middle Eastern royal family in London, England, for whom it was registered on UK plates ‘LF 54 ASO’. A factory Certificate of Authenticity, number 844 F, was issued on 6 March 2008, and the car was subsequently Classiche certified.
In 2008, the Ferrari was sold at RM Auctions’ Leggenda e Passione sale at the Ferrari factory, to a buyer working on behalf of an Asian mining magnate and passionate supercar enthusiast. This owner would maintain the car for the next six years, during which time it was refinished to his taste in its current spectacular livery of Blu Tour de France, before it joined the exceptional collection of its current owner. There it has been maintained alongside many fine coachbuilt automobiles from all eras, among which it appears right at home, and today reflects 8,884 km. It is accompanied by its full main dealer service history from new, original books and tools and its Classiche binder.
Remarkably well kept and stunning in its current color combination, this car is unique among Enzos, and will certainly turn heads among even the most jaded enthusiasts of modern Ferrari supercars. The estimated value? We have no idea, so we will have to wait a few weeks to find out.
