Rosso Corsa hypercar with fewer than 15,000 miles draws strong early bids as collectors vie for one of Ferrari’s greatest halo cars
LONDON, 9 MAY 2025 – A landmark moment for Ferrari collectors is now underway as a rare, UK-delivered 2004 Ferrari Enzo has gone live on Collecting Cars, drawing early bids exceeding £1.65 million with four days remaining before the auction closes on Tuesday 13 May.
Delivered new by Meridien Modena in Hampshire and retained by a single private owner for the past 18 years, this exceptional example is one of only a handful of UK-market Enzos ever produced. Even fewer have emerged for public sale, making this a standout opportunity for those seeking an iconic, Classiche-certified model with impeccable provenance.
A Rosso Corsa Rarity
This particular Enzo is finished in Ferrari’s signature Rosso Corsa with equally striking Rosso leather detailing, including an ultra-rare Rosso leather steering wheel centre – a factory feature reportedly fitted to just two of the 277 Rosso Corsa cars built. Its dramatic cabin features carbon-fibre racing seats trimmed in Nero leather with Rosso inserts, Rosso dials, LED shift lights, and extensive visible carbon fibre throughout.
Matching this stunning interior is a purposeful exterior specification, including twin-spoke 19-inch BBS wheels refinished in dark silver, carbon-ceramic brakes, and a Rosso Corsa-painted lower body – replacing the standard black to create a visually unified and aggressive silhouette.
Classiche Certification and Comprehensive History
Certified by Ferrari Classiche in 2016, this Enzo comes with its coveted red book, full handbook pack, tool kit, and supporting documentation. It remains mechanically original, with its 6.0-litre F140B naturally aspirated V12 delivering 651 bhp via Ferrari’s six-speed F1-style automated manual transmission. This powertrain enables a 0–62 mph sprint in just 3.1 seconds, underscoring the Enzo’s uncompromising performance credentials.
A minor early-life repair, carried out by Carrozzeria Zanasi in Maranello, Ferrari’s official bodyshop, has been fully documented – adding to the car’s transparency and long-term collectability. The most recent service was completed in June 2024 by Autofficina, while its most recent MOT was issued in July 2024.
The Last of Ferrari’s Analogue Icons
Launched in 2002 as a tribute to Enzo Ferrari himself, the Enzo succeeded the legendary F40 and F50 to complete Ferrari’s holy trinity of analogue hypercars. Developed during Ferrari’s Formula 1 dominance, it employed a carbon-fibre monocoque, pushrod suspension, active aerodynamics, and a pared-back, track-inspired cockpit to bring cutting-edge F1 technology to the road.
More than two decades on, the Enzo is now widely regarded as the last naturally aspirated, non-hybrid V12 halo car from Maranello – a machine that marked the end of an era before hybridisation and turbocharging took hold. It also laid the foundations for the brand’s experimental FXX programme, further embedding its legacy within Ferrari’s motorsport-influenced innovation arc.
A Word from Collecting Cars
Edward Lovett, Founder and CEO of Collecting Cars, commented:
“The Enzo is one of the most important Ferraris of the modern era – a car that captured the spirit of early 2000s Formula 1 and marked the end of Ferrari’s analogue flagship lineage. For collectors, the chance to acquire a UK-delivered, Classiche-certified car with this level of provenance and originality is exceptionally rare, and a reminder of the Enzo’s lasting significance in Ferrari’s story.”
From Icons to Auctions
Collecting Cars has established itself as a destination for rare Ferraris, having facilitated the sale of nearly 1,000 examples worldwide – including celebrated models once owned by the likes of Rod Stewart and Eric Clapton. This UK-delivered Enzo now joins that esteemed lineage.
With only around 400 Enzos ever built, and the 400th famously gifted to Pope John Paul II, this example’s combination of rarity, low mileage, Classiche certification, and long-term single ownership sets it apart as one of the most significant Enzos offered on the open market in recent memory.
Final Call for Collectors
With four days remaining before the auction closes on Tuesday 13 May, bidding activity is expected to intensify as collectors compete for this crown jewel of early 2000s performance engineering.
