Any help identifying the F50s below. The first, is a Google Streetview screen capture from Axle Trading from 2019. I know 104775 is in Tokyo, Japan, but I’d like to confirm if it is the same car. A source told me the dealership strictly forbid photos of the car, even though it was on display. That source also told me the car was from the UK. Which 104775 wasn’t. But could be a re-paint. There are other rumors about the car, but they are just rumors. Secondly, can anyone identify the yellow F50 that appeared to be at a track event in Japan? I know of two in Giallo in Japan. The yellow at Bingo, and the atrocious Anija one. Those have painted black headlights and not yellow as seen here. There aren’t many with headlight portion yellow, and none that I know of in Japan. Apologies for the question. This year I decided to a deep dive on all F50s and have been keeping tabs on them. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I took this very photo when this F50 was new in the old Wilmslow showroom in the North West , UK , This F50 is still with its original owner and has very low mileage. , Ive seen it in the Stratstone garages and at Oulton Park for the displays that they do for the Ferrari Challenge series.
At the time around 1997 / 1998 I didn't know how rare a Rosso Barchetta F50 was , but i used to see 2 different ones in the North West of the UK quite a lot !

Off topic but Just curious, are there any F50’s in the SF Bay area? I have organized a Cars & Coffee at Gepetto’s Cafe in Orinda on Sunday 19th November 8am-10am if my F50 arrives in time from Miller Motors CT, (on a truck as we speak). it should be there on time otherwise i’ll bring something else.

Enjoy in good health Simon! There a number of F50 owners in the SF Bay area, text me and I'll connect you with mine.
Haha very true and won’t give you a blizzard of rust particles when you turn on the a/c at 90mph that almost kills you!
Jaw-dropping. I almost bought a fairly ropey F50 back in 2011, advertised at £250k. I would have had to finance the car, and after a long, hard think, ended up with a F355. Regrets, regrets... a couple of million would be enough for me to never work again.

I've had some sickening regrets I missed too, the real question is when would you have actually sold? I think for me once the car got to twice what I paid I'd already be thinking I have to get rid before the market realises it's over priced - there's zero chance I would have held on until now to sell
After Nero, Rosso Barchetta is my favorite F50 livery. That said I think you did nicely with the F40, no?
That looks incredible - the “deeper” color. I’ve yet to see a F50, but it’s on my ultimate drool list. MDS
