Ah, good stuff. Out of interest, have you contacted the previous owner to see if they have any more info on the car (or what happened to it?).

I do have his contact details, but have not been in touch.
The car has all its service/owner manuals/handbooks/keys/toolkit etc...
and a large sevice history file...last one was done at Emblem on 19/Jul/2010 with 40318 miles ( she now has 41407)...
I also have the build sheet which confirms the spec and the options (such as the fiorano handling pack etc) which was kindly sent to me by Mandy at Maranellos.

Mandy helped me out with something on one of my cars too recently - very helpful.

I'm too inquisitive and can never help contacting the previous owner of my cars...!

As if it wasn't exciting enough already, you go and post pictures of unblemished paintwork reflections. How could you! :D

Will you be seeing how she handles in the wet? Will she be in attendance at Stanford?

Am hoping that with all the polishing they have been doing Miles, the next shots I take will look even better :D
Was thinking about the wet handling day, but Emma's already been told about that and I don't want to upset her :D...unfortunately, I cannot make Stanford :-(

Oh, didn't realise you couldn't make Stanford Enzo. Real shame, as it wold have been such a nice place to meet Florence for the first time.

As for the wet handling day, if you've told a lady she's out on a date, well who could blame Emma for throwing a tantrum if you forsook her. Best not go there. :D

Enzo,

Out of curiosity, did you ever consider a different shade of blue? It's going to look stunning in TDF, but I have to say that Pozzi Blue makes me weak on the 550...

Happy motoring!

If someone runs away then its to even it up...But if you have a great car then the otehr need to catch up..Very odd.

Thought i'd mention that the Vitaphone MC12 driven by Bertoli at silverstone ,were all weight penaltied , thought it really unfair

Nice job and good effort. You will probably have one of the best examples by the time you finish.... PLEASE take lots of pics when your at LM the photo's will be a legend...plus the owner...with his new toy.
