    Wow, I remember this car being for sale for less than €500,000 in 2013, then 21,800kms. Seems like only yesterday!

    Is there anything that Marcel doesn't know?! His encyclopedic knowledge of Ferrari Supercars continues to amaze me.

    I salute you sir.

    He is a super person, good friend of my father. Thank you for letting me know. Is the car still in Germany?

    You regularly display full names of owners... are you sure they are OK with having their full name and ownership disclosed on public forums ?

    Thank, but anyway, I'm sure a lot of people don't want the whole planet to know they own or have owned million dollars cars.

    Teodoro Obiang, son of Equatorial Guinea "President" , bought a yellow F50 and a US Spec F40 during his stay in california in the 90's

    The F50 is probably US Spec since it has orange side markers but the fog lights seem to have been replaced by Euro parts.

    Those two cars escaped the two major seizures of Obiang's cars in Paris in 2011 and in Switzerland in 2018/ They are currently in equatorial Guinea

    Anyone know more about that F-50 and that F-40 ?

    It should make a difference whether the ownership info appears in public registries or not. And even if this is a public forum, I think it's valid to share this kind of information here among people with a genuine interest.

    Part of my point is that not the whole planet is paying attention to this forum, most of those who actually are will probably have a genuine interest... of sorts.

    If I had an F50 in my garage I wouldn't want my full name to be disclosed on a major internet forum with hundred of thousands people checking it daily.

    IRS inspectors, gangsters,paparazzi, jealous members of your family. There are a hell of a lot of bad people that a Ferrari forum can attract, believe me.

    There is big owner here, wich I know who he his because I randomly found his name on another page. Once in a reply I called him just by his first name, he politely sent me a PM to say that he absolutely didn't want to see anything from his identity disclosed here, and he was right, I apologized

    Correct, it's been in the USA a long time.

    That is a European F50, side-markers installed because it was federalized when it was imported into the USA, you can tell it's an Eu/ROW version because the downforce splitters on either side of the front spoiler are the shallow variant.

    My pleasure, 10 years or so ago I randomly encountered him driving the Giallo F50 in my neighborhood turning off Pacific Coast Highway into the Dana Pointe Ritz Carlton, funny to think that car is in Equatorial Guinea now.

    Really ? ... that guy is simply incredible. He took all his cars he had in USA to Equatorial Guinea when it started to smell sh... for him in USA (Investigations for embezzlement started)

    The third pic I posted was taken in the warehouse of the Paris-Vatry airport during transit, in november 2009

    Do you know something about his US F40 ?
