@Jason Eberlein is still a official dealer, Auto Becker is not (bankruptcy). Auto Salon Singen is not a official dealer, but the world largest dealer for exotics. For example: through the years they had about 100 Porsche 959 in their inventory. The homepage: www.auto-salon-singen.de P.S: There are two new official dealerships here in germany, look here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/21/202040.html?1046210205 |

Jeff where does the license plate on the front go, because there is NO WAY the UK police are going to tolerate no front plate |

My my, another Ferrari dealership that doesn't want to show license plate numbers. That's TWO dealerships that agree with my concerns. (not that anyone is keeping score). |

So, in this small town of Singen with nothing much worth talking about ( I know because I was born and raised there), we have two Ferrari shops (Gohm and Autosalon) a stone throw away from each other!!! How can both stay in business? I believe they are both getting a lot of business from the rich swiss (border to Switzerland is very close). It definitely is a lot of fun to look at all the nice cars though. I miss driving in the Black Forest on a nice spring day!!! |

bound to be Eric's, he's just picked it up from the factory and it would need a PDI done immediately he got it onto British soil, I had to do the same with a Merc I collected from Bremen a few years back. So really no mystery as to why its at the UK importer, and certainly no indication of problems early on. |

Jonas, No doubt, they are a lot bigger. I was going to buy my 360 from them....Unfortunately we couldn't agree on an acceptable price......Ended up getting it from Eberlain (who no longer appear on the German dealer list) I'm finding it rather difficult to keep up with all the dealer changes!! |

I'm guessing that license plate is blacked out because it reads "SLOWHAND". |

I've been to the Auto Salon in Singen. It's big. NO, it's HUGE. They probably do have the largest inventory of Ferraris at any given time, of any dealer in the world. No doubt. And their inventory of race cars is also incredible. I saw a Jackie Ickx (spell?) Porsche, among many other well known racers. However, they are NOT a factory authorized dealer. They do not sell new Ferraris, nor can they orders for new Ferraris. |

It's clearly obvious none of you have been in singen It's so big you wouldn't believe it. The Showroom is not only for the Ferrari's, but also; Maserati, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Porsche So Surrey is not biggeR  |

Jeff, Given the fact that the car is new...and has already been registered, what's it doing at your dealership....Surely it can't be broken already!!! Jonas, Is Auto Singen an authorised Ferrari dealership....If not, it probably explains why Jeff described Maranello Conc. as the largest in the world. |

I reckon I know whose car that is....... rumours are, the owners asked the salesman who "sold" it to him, to run the car in for him!!!!! In fact that exact car came past my office yesterday. |

Worlds biggest dealer? Auto Salon Singen in Germany is the worlds biggest, so how can yours be the largest? Auto Salon Singen has 113 Ferrari's in their stock at this moment So I doubt it.  |

Jeff, Was this car sold by your dealership or did the owner pick it up himself direct from the factory? Do you know of any other yellow Enzos owned by Brits?

Looks like there's been some damage on the rear in the number plate area - very poorly re-sprayed! |
