This 141-Mile Silver Ferrari Enzo Could Be A Record-Breaker

With just 400 examples ever made, the Ferrari Enzo has always commanded high prices at auction – helped in no small way by it being a part of the ‘Ferrari Big Five’, along with the equally desirable 288 GTO, F40, F50 and LaFerrari.

The V12 supercar, which arrived in 2002 with a retail price of $659,000, has surged in popularity in recent years, and prices are now around the $3-4m mark, according to Classic.com.

Most recently, a rare black example sold at auction in February for $4.4m, setting a new high benchmark for the Enzo.

The could be a short-lived record, however. Another Enzo Ferrari has come onto the market, also through the RM Sotheby’s auction house, but this example is one of just nine Argento Nurburgring silver examples. And of those nine, this is thought to be the only one with a tan ‘cuoio’ leather interior.

If that wasn’t enough, this Enzo has never been driven. It has just 141 miles on the clock, has not been road registered, and even still wears some of the protective wrapping applied at the Ferrari factory two decades ago. This plastic wrapping covers the door sills and pedals, and there’s even tape wrapped around the key.

Originally sold to a Japanese customer, the car is described as the last known “in the wrapper” Ferrari Enzo and “has remained largely out of sight for much of its life,” RM Sotheby’s says. As you would expect, the car comes with its original owner’s manuals, car cover, spare key (still inside a zip-lock bag) and three-piece fitted luggage set, also still wrapped in its original packaging.

RM Sotheby’s concludes: “Considering its remarkable condition, still wearing much of its factory protective wrapping, this Argento Nurburgring example is the ultimate prize for collectors valuing both rarity and originality.”

The car is offered without reserve, but via the auction house’s sealed-bid system, where interested parties are invited to privately submit a bid between 15 and 17 March.
