    Firstly I really do apologise for my ignorance if this has been discussed a million times. I did a search and found a few threads but nothing to this exact nature.

    I understand that the Enzo cannot be registered here (LHD), but does anyone know if we have any Enzo's in the country for display or personally owned (limited registration, special interest vehicle etc...)? Has anyone seen an Enzo on our soil, and have they been at any International Motor Show's (I went to the Melbourne show the year after the Enzo was released and it did not make an appearance)?

    Lastly, an unusual one... Would you give up all of your teeth and your hair to have the pleasure of DRIVING your very own Enzo every day of the year? :D

    As a daily driver, you would be sick of it after a week. Too much attention.

    It was here early in the piece, but so was PP's.

    They made their money from Holdens, don't think you could do that again. Laurie is a genuinely nice bloke and always ready to help the F club.

    what about the Silver one that was for sale here? i presume it mustve gone overseas?

    also there was talk of a red one in sydney where the owner keeps it in a plastic bubble? dont know how true that is though.

    and no i wouldnt give up my teeth & hair for an Enzo, much better cars available IMO.

    Yeah but you DID get yours before Piero Ferrari got his. Your OHOS was something like the 47th one made. I can't be bothered checking to find the exact number.

    They were at the motor shows a few years back when it was 1st released worldwide. I recall it being @ Sydney motorshow as early as 2002/2003.

    I also recall someone saying that 6 arrived to Oz initially but yeah 1 or 2 may of left us :(

    As Eurospec pointed out there was 1 @ the Ferrari Concours in August this year. The most famous one is Lindsey Fox's yellow roof and red one you can see in his private collection which is open afew times a year.

    And here is my pic of the Enzo back in August :D with a F40 http://www.coresworld.net/FerrariConcours06/img_3676.htm

    After seeing the Enzo vs FXX vid(look in Super Ferrari section) Id rather an FXX just on raw engine note alone :D

    I think 6 were ordered by Australians.. but that doesn't mean the cars came here...

    AFAIK...only Fox and Sutton have them... yellow MM car went AGES ago now, silver car was a ghost...

    the yellow MM car (black wheels painted silver when here) just had straight through rear pipes on... all else was stock... way too noisy and sounded rough.... put silencers back on... nice!
