    I was wondering if any West Hollywood/Beverly Hills residents or those that frequent the area recall seeing a Giallo Modena F50. I would see the car on a regular basis. It was a permanent fixture on the Sunset Plaza. The middle aged gentleman used it as a daily driver which I always found quite odd.

    I have not seen the car in quite sometime now. The last time I saw the car it was being loaded onto a AAA flatbed in the rain one evening on the corner of Fairfax & 8th adjacent to the Petersen Museum apparently it had broken down.

    I saw a yellow F50 in Malibu a few years ago, but I believe it may have belonged to Teodorin Obiang, the son of a corrupt Guinean president. I think the car was repossessed. But it may have been the same car. How many yellow F50s could there be in LA?

    I live above Sunset Plaza. Maybe 5 years ago or so I saw TWO F50s parked in front of Le Petit Four. I think one was yellow and the other red. Haven't seen a yellow one since.

    @GHG I believe it was Teodorin Obiang that I saw in & around West Hollywood & Beverly Hills on a regular basis in the Giallo Modena F50.

    @Flash G Apparently we saw the same car on the Plaza. I've seen several exotics here in L.A. including a Bugatti EB110 in West Hollywood as well however I've only seen two F50's the Giallo Modena one & a Rossa Corsa example being driven down Burton Way after it was displayed@ the annual Father's Day Concours event several years ago.

    @Joe Sackey just out of curiosity do you have any further information on the car in question?

    Do you think it might be my dads old car. As it had its California taxes paid.
