    Is that JK's 355 ? cooooool

    I know the other cars were lent to him for the video by Nick Mason after someone crashed his original Diablo SE30 into concrete bollards, that was supposed to appear in the video.
    I believe that the SE30 in this video got damaged before he arrived on set too after he specifically told no one to drive it.

    I think the story got changed a bit.

    The SE30 got destroyed in london afterwards.

    I actually wrote my mum's old mini off back in '98ish and it went to the same scrapyard in Glos. UK - they still have it (note the mention of "celebrity" history)

    Poor old JK doesn't have much luck with windows - you can notice the side driver's window of the SE30 was smashed during filming hence is down at night (the windscreen is removed in some shots to mount the camera).

    The F40 belongs to Nick Mason (assuming it wasn't sold) who is driving it in the video.

    Interesting story. It now shows the Diablo as sold.

    It has been through some other owners since and is now raced in the UK Ferrari Owners' Club Open race series.

    Also, I looked at a silver 360 modena spider with daytona seats/mint green interior (I think the Enzo has the same colour interior).

    There was a plaque in front of the gear lever with the Jamarouqai (excuse spelling) logo and "specially prepared for Jay Kay of Jamarouqai" or a near approximation.

    I don't know if this plaque would be in all his Ferraris.

    This link should take you to pictures of it. Look carefully in front of the gear shifter and you can just about make out the plaque...

    P.S. if you click through the slideshow you can see a 250 Cali and 246 Dino in the background of one pic!!

    I'd like to see the unscripted version of this - I'll bet that Nick Mason would blow them away!

    Was that originally a road car or a challenge car?
