    Hi,

    Last friday my brother spotted a red Enzo @ Brussels airport.
    Destination seems to be Bahrein. Unfortunately there is no picture of the registry number. Any idea who owns this beauty? The condition of the car was perfect, as good as new. Tires were unused...
    There was no major security or protection...it was even possible to open the doors.

    This is not the first time that supercars are spotted @ Brussels...
    I have no idea if in comparison with other airports Brussels is preferred but if so what could be the reason?

    picts attached...

    greetz,

    It belongs to HRH Sheikh Salman Bin Khalifa who is the Prime Minister of Bahrain, I've attached pics of his car with the same plates at the Pilota Course at the Bahrain Formula 1 track in Jan, 2005. Maybe he used the car at Spa in Belgium and was having it shipped back home.

    He is one of the nicest people ever, very friendly and down to earth. His Ferrari collection is one of the best, he also has the 288 GTO which has only 6,400km and is in like brand new condition, not one thing wrong with it. Hope you enjoy the pics.

    Thanx for the pics, i liked the trackpics and the CS especially.

    It must have been very exiting to see an enzo sitting and waiting there, far away from his boss >=^(

    shipping a car by airplane must be very expensive
    are you sure that Sheikh of Bahrain could afford it?

    Flying a historic Ferrari (such as a 400 Superamerica of 1962) from Los Angeles to Zurich (Switzerland) and back from ZRH to LAX costs US$ 28.000. Done two weeks ago. With Air France and Singapore Airlines.

    Do you happen to know if this included insurance etc.? (in other words, would a cheaper car be cheaper to transport?)

    Yes, includes insurance. Size and weight of car is very important too, not only value. Here's a photo showing 0234 AL which I had airfreighted 18 April 2002 from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany, taken at 1 a.m. in the night at the Frankfurt airport.

    Don't know if anyone spotted it...

    Are the 2 Enzos different cars? As they have different interiors... one with red seats and one with red and black seats?

    Or maybe he just remounted the seats... i don't know...
