    I have seen the real car in person, the roof is unusal but when you understand why it is there it makes sense. Each to their own but i would like a model of it. I will do a search now and see if i can get my hands on one.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    To keep this brief. It is my understanding that the owner of the "yellow roofed Enzo" owns a large freight company, all the freight company vehicles have a yellow roof.

    Okay in that way. I know who you're talking about, but to actually give such an expensive car a yellow roof. No.

    lindsay fox or something? owns his own trucking company,but actually heard he "regrets" getting the roof painted yellow.

    i can acutally understand the whole yellow roof thing though,i think as someone said, his trucks roofs are yellow,i can understand that if its heritage or represents the company.

    Yep, the owner is Lindsay Fox. The 'Mc Enzo' as it's known as. I've got a few pictures i took of it on my computer somewhere. His collection is in Melbourne & open at the moment I believe until October,,, gold coin donation.

    It's a shame the Enzo is not there for that. What other cars are in the collection?

    I guess if you're worth around $990 million you can paint it however you want!

    This is the rest of his collection: http://www.foxcollection.org/cars.htm which includes 4 gullwing benzes. I've been in the workshop years ago where they seemed to have full-time staff maintaining the cars and undertaking restorations.

    Lindsay Fox began his business http://www.linfox.com/ in Melbourne in 1956 with one truck, delivering soft drinks in the summer months and solid fuel in winter. It now operates more than 1.8 million square metres of warehousing and nearly 5,000 vehicles across 11 countries.

    I believe the family still owns and operates phillip island grand prix circuit.
