    That account does not always share current photographs, so I am wondering if we might be looking at something older?

    We know there are a total of 3 F50 GTs and presently there should be one in California (#001), one in Pennsylvania (#003) and I have it on good authority and have also seen some visual proof that the last one (#002) is in the UK, belonging to a French collector.

    Of course #002 especially, and #003, spent many years in Japan where the practice of modifying supercars is far more prevalent than just about anywhere else. Wondering if that could be what we are seeing, but from an earlier time period given where I believe the cars reside today?

    Erik maybe it's from Japan (old photos) because in their IS description say 'Supercar team A-team of Japan.'

    Who knows.

    I hope one of those other guys had better luck shooting the shady side of a red car against those brightly lit backgrounds than I did. So far most of my shots in that direction are too grainy to work with. I cheated a lot and made this one look somewhat decent, but only at this low resolution.

    To truly do this kind of setting justice it would have required a tripod and multiple exposures of the foreground and background that captured the available light from each, and then time blending them all together into one final image with Photoshop.

    It's of course hard to take a "bad" photo of an F50, but more talent and equipment were necessary to make something like this frame-worthy or even desktop wallpaper-worthy.

    Great shot. And another reminder of just how good an F50 looks with the roof up!

    I don't think so because I believe the car I'm referencing has black seat inserts but I'm not positive

    The Black F50 coming up for sale at Sotheby's is from a collection in Northeast Ohio. The car was bought from this collection and being sold by a dealership at the auction. It looks tremendous in person and I believe one of only 3 black F50's remaining in the world, the other US spec car having been crashed a few years ago.

    I do agree. I have to say the F50 looks better with the top on.
