Bonhams will be auctioning the cars handed over by the the fugitive Alexander Surin - including this Enzo
Looks like the treasury will be benefiting to the tune of £600-£800k + from the proceeds of the sale - sold under the Proceeds of Crime Act, with the proceeds of sale going towards the public purse.
With only 1285 miles recorded and "interesting" history - it will be interesting to see how the market views the car which is being auctioned on the 26th June at the Goodwood Festivalof Speed sale - Bonhams auction catalogue description below:
c.2004 Ferrari Enzo BerlinettaCoachwork by PininfarinaRegistration no. LEO3 VSAChassis no. ZFFCW56AX301 132648Engine no. Tipo F140B 75017
*Recovered by the National Crime Agency and sold under the Proceeds of Crime Act, with the proceeds of sale going towards the public purse *Delivered new to the USA, UK registered since 2008*Left-hand drive*Only 1,285 miles recorded
Left-hand drive chassis number '132648' was manufactured in Italy and delivered new to the USA 2004/5, but by June 2008 had returned to the EEC to be sold by Auto Salon of Singen with 130 mileage on the speedometer declared and, importantly, official 'Ferrari EEC Certificate of Conformity (for complete vehicles)'. The German Ferrari dealer invoiced an importing UK dealer, who paid nearly 600 euros (including 19% M.W.S.T.) for Enzo number 132648 27th June and applied for first UK registration 9th July of that year. The DVLA at Theale approval-stamped the Ferrari EEC Certificate of Conformity 11th July and assigned the UK registration 'RX08 H2L' 21st July, the last UK road tax issued by them for the car expiring 31st December 2008. Whereas the most recent 4th September 2011 dated V5C Registration Document records latest registration for the car being 'LEO3 VSA' and current registered keeper the NCA Trustee.
The 'manufactured in 2003' and car being 'rebuilt-assembled from parts some or all of which were not new' notes in this latest V5C would certainly seem to have been incorrectly declared by a previous owner however and would benefit from being amended for a new registered keeper by the DVLA, who will need to be satisfied by the receipt of written confirmation by Ferrari of the slightly later date of manufacture and that original components are fitted to the vehicle.
After six years preservation in storage, Enzo 132648 appears to be in very good overall and apparently largely original condition that would be commensurate with the total of only 1,285 miles currently displayed on the odometer. Serviced in February 2015 and MoT tested by official Ferrari agents Lancaster Colchester, the car comes with the MoT certificate, invoice and list of suggested further works required. Apart from the foregoing, there are no documents with this UK registered and therefore local import taxes paid supercar, which is sold strictly as viewed.
