    Does anyone have picture of this pair? I was reading in a magazine article earlier that there is an owner of both a matte black Enzo and matte black MC12. The magazine is called Italian legends which seems to be from the magazine Auto Italia. There is a great photo shoot of a silver Enzo and normal MC12 in the magazine which I would recommend everyone checks out!

    Both cars belong to Prince Jefri. He was the original owner of the Enzo. It was sold (to a member here, apparently) and then re-purchased by him last year I believe. The serial number is 136069. The car is UK registered (1 JB). I have never seen a picture of this Enzo.

    The MC12 is matte black, but has metallic flake in it. It is not the original paint. The car is UK registered (1 JET). I think there are a few pictures out there, though, it could possibly be another black MC12.

    Correct!!! I have the serial number for the MC12 if somebody has a comprehensive database of MC12 numbers, I would like to talk with them.

    Haven't see it, but a matte black Enzo sounds awesome!

    To be perfectly honest, it does not look as good as the MC12. The Enzo's lines are lost on the matt, normal paint looks better, but it is unique, and as far as I am aware, after the matt Grigio one was sprayed TDF, the only original Matt one left.

    There are some pictures on this dealer website. Watch the series of pictures that change, it appears in 3

    I was the guy who bought the Enzo and MC12 from Prince Jefri. He asked me to return them after my check bounced.

    When matte black is clean, it can have a nice satin sheen to it, making it appear gloss black from certain angles.

    I think you'll find that's satin black. You sem to struggle with the concept of 'matte'.

    Looks like matte to me. You seem to struggle with the concept that matte objects can look shiny when you shine a light on them.

    Yeah. I think the information is good, but I don't know how to confirm it.

    Don't correct somebody who is correct. The paint code under the front lid says 'Matt Nero'

    Matt Nero? I thought that was the guy's name. Used to be a Las Vegas lounge act, Matt Nero and the Satins.

    No?

    I saw the Enzo behind the gates of a large house in North London a few months ago. The car appeared to have a shine to it rather than being a matt finish. The sun was shining however....
