    Geez, can we split some more hairs here. Marcel has it right. This was Eisenberg's car. Destroyed in a crash and fire. The new Owner purchased it. Ferrari decided they would "fix" it for the new Owner. This is where things get interesting and I suspect the engineers forgot to check with Ferrari's legal department. Someone at Ferrari made the decisions it would be easier, or cheaper, to just build a new car and use the same VIN. Still no real big deal to bring it back into the United States as a fixed car. I now, I checked with the DOT and EPA for new Owner to make sure. Ditto California. However, CA wanted to see either the original instrument cluster used with the correct mileage, or they wanted to see a new cluster, set at zero or whatever miles Ferrari testers put on, and a plaque fixed to the car stating when the odometer was changed and what the mileage was when it was changed. The Feds didn't particularly car either way. Both worked for them.

    However, for obvious reasons, the Owner wanted a car with zero miles and no plaque as he could sell it for more money as a "new" car. I do remember when he was negotiating with Ferrari, I brought up the issue with him to see if Ferrari would give him a warranty with the "new" or "fixed" car? Much to my surprise, they did.

    Anyway, call it what you want, that is a new build Ferrari Enzo.

    Hi Mike,

    Good to see you are enjoying yourself with the cars. The Veyron sounds amazing, I do agree that the lighter colours show the car and curves off way more than dark. I cant wait to see the pictures!!

    Hope all is well and its a shame you cant share your passion with others without all the sh1te. Moving on though.

    Regards,

    Matthew

    So iceman will have two Veyrons as well! Now this keeps getting cooler! He will pretty soon have a bigger fleet of hypercars than some taxi companies have taxis! Super great for you iceman, enjoy it to the max!

    Another question:

    Did you get a good "deal" from Bugatti? I mean given the current economic climate, the fact that you took an unsold one off their hands, AND ordered a second one, did they give you a discount of sorts, or other perks? Trying to see how the situation is, if I were doing what you have done, for myself!

    PS how about a Grand Sport as well? 3 Veyrons to go with 3 Enzos... Seems a nice balance!

    Good job, my friend. hahaha You stole the car from under me! I met with Vince at Perfect Reflections in Hayward, CA. He knew that I was looking for an Enzo. But I hesitated. And the next week he told me that the car was sold to a 'fella who alreaddy owns an Enzo in Switzerland' - you. So congratulations. Black on black = very nice. I am proud that the car went to a good guy. Drive them safely, brother

    I suppose if i had 3 enzos and 1 veyron downstairs in the garage, I would hardly ever be seen upstairs at the pc!
    Wherever you are, hope you are enjoying yourself!
    Still would love to know the answers to my earlier questions regarding the deal you got from Bugatti....

    Congrats on the new Enzo Mike!! Enjoy her in good health brother!! :):)

    Seeing what supercars you have in your garage is an inspiration to many people here to work HARD and believe in themselves so they can be in the same shoes as you one day Mike! :):)

    Looking forward to seeing pics of your wonderful collection also. Your son would have to be the luckiest boy in the world to have a Dad like you. Take care mate and talk soon. :):)

    Gentleman

    Apologies for the delay. In the South of France at the moment with the family. Looks like I will have to get back to work in a couple of days however I am posting a couple of holding pics of the Veyron which were taken by a third party and sent to me. Having it coated in a revolutionary new wax (we will see).

    Colour is fabulous in real life. Looked at an all black one, a all white one and a couple of combinations. This one stood out by miles.

    I have also posted a couple of pics of the Black Enzo, whilst it was having a pedal readjustment at my local dealer.

    I promise to have a comprehensive posting by the middle of next week of all three cars.

    Thanks

    Mike

    Amazing looking cars!! Love the color combo on the Veyron, and the black Enzo. Can't wait til you post your entire collection!

    By the way, is that your garage that the Enzo is in?

    Lets not start this again.

    I said in my post, "a couple of pics of the Black Enzo, whilst it was having a pedal readjustment at my local dealer".

    Yes it was at the dealer. I promise to have the new pics later next week.

    Believe gentlemen.

    Regards

    Not to worry: He will post a pic of him, ALL the cars assembled, and that day's newspaper, and then (maybe) everyone will have no doubts. Failing that he can simply scan and post their ownership titles.

    The Bugatti looks fantastic in those colors! The Enzo's not so bad, either.
