    Well. as many of you know, the only 2 toned Enzo known to exist lives in Melbourne, Australia. Me being down there recently for the GP, naturally put me on a mission to get more details on the car. Mainly the S/N. Lots of Photos, and the real reasoning behind the color choice (even though i know the "real" reason from a tax point of view).

    So i headed off to the "Fox Collection" on the thursday. www.foxcollection.org.

    The only known photo of the car is on that site. Thats it. I ventured out to be the person to get more photos!!

    I got to the place. Only to discover that the place was hired out by corporate clients!!! What a bastard!!!

    So the "McEnzo" yet again eludes photos, and any info given about her....

    Ill just leave you a pic of her, and the place she lives...

    Remember, behind those red brick walls, sleeps the weird most unique enzo's, and one of the most elusive yet.......

    AhHHH ...That sucks. I came into this thread thinking you found the car. Doesn't the owner ever take it to events... or even drive the thing? Poor enzo....

    is it possible the site is just lying and the "yellow roof" is actually just a regular red roof covered in yellow tape?

    yeah, its based on his company colours which is obviously yellow over red, Linfox transport is a large shipping company here.

    He did an interview with one of our local current events programs and he said he had never driven it. citing that having so many grandchildren he has not had the time to drive it.

    its a shame, but he has a collection of 120 cars of which he is selling about half which includes 3 or 4 gullwing mercedes.

    Mike, you should have responded to my Fox tour posts in the Australian section, and met up with me on the GP wednesday.

    I took 6 people out to the Museum for a private guided tour, but also the workshop...which was where the supercars were all parked at the time....

    McEnzo (!), F50, F40, Porsche 959, Jag XJ220 and XJ15...oh and a handful of Gull wing and roadster Merc's in various states of restoration etc!!

    ......plus Himlers Mercedes, Bing Crosby's Merc, Ringo Starr's Merc (should see the interior of that one!!), and just oodles of little gems all over.....

    (James Dean) 356 sequential serial number car and awesome 550 spyder too, Martin Brundles broken back Jordan F1, Queens Daimler/Jag, special Rolls/Bentleys, just stuff everywhere......

    John, many people are wondering what the serial number is, for that Enzo... FerrariChat is a huge place on the internet, filled with people who are constantly sharing information for each other's benefit...

    I guess they get moved about a lot, but they (Super Ferraris) were all out at the workshop over GP weekend, and none in the Museum at all, even the 959, 220, 15 etc.

    I know the 288 won't be there.
