    How many people are know to presently own an F40, F50 & an Enzo? I figured that there might be a few people out there with all three in their collection but I can't imagine that there are very many.

    I'm asking this question because I recently heard of such a person but I'm not sure how well know he is and I'd like to try to find a little more info about his collection and what kind of a person he is.

    I'd greatly appreciate any info you could provide. You can PM me if you don't want to post publicly.

    I don't know the names, but I know for sure of at least two guys who own all those. Plus one of them has a GTO as well. So he owns all 4 "super" Ferraris which is amazing.

    I know I've seen a few pictures of collections that have all three cars in them. I have no clue who any of the owners actually are tho.

    I am not 100% sure, but I think there is at least one Texan with a 250 GTO that I know of, and perhaps the other 3 or 4 as well...

    A good friend is very close to owning all 4 (288/F40/Enzo so far) and is a great guy :)

    The full house is actually 288 GTO, GTO Evoluzione, F40, F50, Enzo and FXX.

    There were only 5 GTO Evoluziones made and so no more than 5 people will ever own the whole collection........

    The 250 GTO was a road and race car, although in that era Ferrari did not use the term "supercar". The 250 SWB was similar too.

    That's a very good point, but I would argue that those cars were dedicated racing versions of the standard cars built to meet certain regulatory requirements for the relevant race series.

    The other cars were built by Ferrari to be "supercars" only, although the GTO Evo and FXX are track cars only (but were never built to satisfy any regulations).

    Just my opinion and not the final word!

    Am I right in presuming that it is your GTO Evoluzione which is going to be at the Salon Prive event in London?

    He's sold a few of cars pictured in that post.

    Thanks for your input.
    The FXX isn't street-legal and it never will be so I personally wouldn't include it in the "Full House".

    BTW, The TDF FXX is my personal favorite out of all the ones I've seen photos of. Awesome color!

    I remember seeing this guy on Discovery or TLC with his car collection. He looked like a pretty young guy. Isn't he out in California? I remember him saying how one of those Porsches was never raced. It was bought new and not driven. :( That particular CLK-GTR was put up for auction by him a while back, but didn't meet reserve.

    No. They are race cars and not street legal cars.

    No no no. . .

    The full house would be three F50's and two F40's, or maybe 3 Enzo's and two 288 GTO's, et cetera. Maybe you could get away with an FXX, two Enzos, an F50 and an F50 GT1 or something, but that's just getting silly.

    :)

    Cool pics, awesome rides, sweet garages! I think a guy named Art or the owner or someone associated with Ferrari of Silicon Valley owns an Enzo, F50, F50 GT1, Maserati MC12, and probably owns all the other top notch F-Cars. The F50 and F50 GT1 were at the Palo Alto Concours this June!!!
