    The last time I checked the difference between 3440lb and 3351lb is 89lb not 11lb which makes for an extremely over-fed cat or possibly an altogether different type of cat you are more likely to see on safari in Africa. :)

    Also, as a Ferrari expert I am sure you know that the weight given on plate in the car has nothing to do with curb weight, at least here in Europe. It is Gross Vehicle Weight used for licensing and tax purposes. The Euro F50 curb weight in the manual is 1320kg not 1520kg you give above.

    The US cars are quite a bit heavier.

    You're a bit late, this was all cleared up 4-5 days ago.

    Very nice, good to see it on a continental expedition.

    “...it's valid to share this kind of information here among people with a genuine interest...”???

    European GDPR regulations notwithstanding (with which this forum is obliged to comply, incidentally), it’s also basic courtesy. If I wanted my full name on here, I’d have used it, but I didn’t “Garetto”.

    Entertaining piece. I'm not an expert, but I think there are a few oversights and misinformation. Correct me of I'm wrong:

    - Didn't point out the location of the manuals storage boxes in the front
    - I believe the tool kit is also stored in a front compartment too?
    - I believe the leather straps behind the seats are for the soft top, not for luggage
    - It's a Euro spec car, so the taillight illumination is different than a US car, as is the front spoiler, side reflectors, etc.
    - Interesting fact about the turn signal sound and the headlight/high beam switch mechanism. I never knew that
    - Did not point out the missing emergency light

    Whatever you may think of his videos, I do enjoy how he shows people little things that most would never have the opportunity to see.

    Looked at the car few weeks ago. (It was selling along with a red Enzo and a white Pagani).
    It unfortunately is missing its original Service & Warranty book. Instead it has a generic maintenance booklet with stamps of services (6 in total, if I recall correctly, and few were dating back quite a bit). It lived in Spain, Switzerland, Dubai, and then UK (deduction from the service stamps). However, I could not receive any clarity on ownership, what happened to the car during its life in these various places, or registration traceability (except around 2018 UK registration).

    I was impressed to see the weave on the front bumper (rare, as they usually are repainted).

    That is indeed very rare, and is the case on 106765 I posted above.
