White with a red stripe. Will be driving it at the Miami Grand Prix before qualifying with other Monzas

 

The details below the listing say the car has been driven 6000 km.

 

Absolutely NOT.
Read this AGAIN:
"Addendum: This motor car has been driven for no more than 6,000 kilometres. For this reason, the motor car is considered ‘as new’ for VAT purposes and is subject to VAT on the full purchase price (both on the hammer price and commission)."

This means that the mileage is UNDER/BELOW 6,000 kms and therefore legally considered "as new" for VAT purposes. Nobody says it has been driven 6,000 kms.

If you read the full description and entire text carefully you will even see that the total mileage is 25 kms (twenty five) and if you look at the photos you will find a pic showing the odometer with 26 kms (twenty six).
But certainly not 6,000 kms. It is basically a brand new Monza SP1.

Hello,

Any SP1 Monza or SP3 available in U.S.?

Thank you.

 

SP30 sold at Bonhams Miami $2,296,000 incl premium. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Aren’t the SP projects close to €5 million? That would be a big loss for the original owner.

 

Reckon so ,yes.

 

I'm pretty he lost possession when he fled Dubai with half a $b

oops

 

That was seven years ago.......
Most of those cars have since been sold and/or auctioned.

back then some said monzas were not selling... and ferrari halved the production numbers.. ok ...... now people talking sf90 s are not selling.......

 

Different cars though…
It is true Monzas were initially a slow selling car and I know some top clients who declined the car back then. Most bought Monzas later in the secondary market at double the price. I heard similar lukewarm reactions when the SP3 was presented, now many consider it one of the most beautiful Ferrari of all time
Icona has been a great success, I can’t wait for the next one

Being a certain age certainly nurtured that conclusion. Front to back it will be hard to top that.

Good one!!

 

Not sure I got the age point?

Because the design reflects various historical details that were all contemporary brand new and the latest thing that designers were doing. That only works if you are 'old enough' to remember them when they were brand new. Anybody can read a history book but as the saying goes 'you had to be there' to really appreciate it now.

 

Thanks for clarifying…That is true, although I think the SP3 is beautiful in absolute terms. I find that it resonates with people my age and also my children’s age in almost equal measure

Monza SP1 and SP2 reminded me of the 599XX. Not hot sellers initially due to various doubts (justified doubts such as 599XX not being based on the hypercar and SP1 and 2 not having windshield and not being road legal in the US) but once production closed and other models started to roll out people realised that it was one of those once in a decade chance to leap frog into being a Ferrari VIP client without a 20 year history and buying every model.

 

Very true. I saw average vip clients becoming top in a heart bit while owning a decent but not exceptional collection.
