    I just wanted to share my spottings from this weekend.

    The first F50 was at the Silverstone Supercar meet yesterday.

    The second F50 as well as the F40, Enzo and 288 GTO were in downtown London this afternoon for the Gumball 3000.

    Can you identify any of them...

    That Enzo belongs to Paul Bailey. It was originally Rosso Corsa but after a small accident in 2007 it was repainted in a custom shade of red. I saw the car in Ireland last December and the color is even more impressive in person.

    Is that Jay Kay's 16M?

    I did miss the Gumball start as i woke up too late (reached central around 3:30PM) but i was walking down Belgravia and saw the 288 roaming the street. Amazing sight.

    The Dubai plates on the F50 are export plates.

    The F40 is 84683.

    The GTO is 56775 - once owned (maybe still) by a member of the Kuwaiti Royal family.

    The Enzo is 135889.

    The 16M is 166407 and, as Paul already said, it's not J Kay's car.


    Ralph, it looks like you were close enough to the cars - you could've photographed the serial numbers and then told us. :)

    I was pretty surprised by it, it was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. There was an old Dino parked in front of it and it was pretty similar in size.

    Ha, also there was the chrome wrap on it as well.

    I'm assuming you're referencing the rear wing's slightly more aggressive angle of attack...

    I don't know if that's any indication of further tuning, but I believe said item is adjustable like that from the factory...

    Who knows?

    Great pics, thanks for posting. Honestly, not too sure about the wrapped 458, far too bling for my taste.

    I mean not only more aggressive rear wing, but also two air intakes like the Koenig turbo version. Unfortunately, I nave no info this is Koenig's F50 or no.

    That is the Koenig F50 that was for sale through Joe Macari a few years ago. The plate and the wheels give it away.
