There's a MC12 in Vancouver :eek: in Ferrari and Maserati of Vancouver, and it's not staying here for long time, they are sending it to California, owner lives in Beverly Hills.

I was there today and car looks incredible in person.

Got a lot of pics, here are 2 samples

Don't know, I asked them but it seemed they had no idea either.
Just go there as soon as possible, if you really want to see it.

BTW they are NOT street legal in North America.

If only I could afford it.
I should be in Italy in one or two years time though..

I'm still kicking myself for not going to the opening of Nottingham Graypaul (becasue I didn't know). They had an MC12 there on that one day. Dammit.

BTW they are NOT street legal in North America.

Just a minor clarification on that point. The MC12 is elligible for importation into the USA under the DOT's "Show or Display" guidelines and once a vehicle gets its stamp of approval (mostly paperwork on a car like that one) it can be driven legally on the roads in the USA up to 2500 miles per year.

You will find the MC12 included in the list of elligible vehicles here:

in july 11 2005i moved to Pakistan for further studies. on the way to the Dubai airport i passed the Ferrari/Maserati showroom and wouldnt u know it a MC12 was on display in the showroom. ironically a few weeks ago i visited the showroom and at that time it wasnt on display. The MC12 is one of the most beautiful cars that ive ever seen. I'll never forget it

It was on 5th Gear

And it was bloody funny!! What ass would take their half a million grand supercar round a track with lots of snow on it?!? He deserved to crash it, but it was only £5000 worth of damage to the rear wing. So i suppose it wasnt too bad.

Well people, good news and bad news. Bad news is I didnt get to see the car today and get any pics of it. GOOD NEWS: Im going back Monday to see it. Unfortunately I was held up at work and arrived just as they were closing. I am going back Monday and they are open for sure.

PS-I did stop by the Lamborghini Dealership and took a few pics....

I went there again today. Guy said its still for sale. There is a price sheet on it as well. Its the only white Murc in Canada. Therefore, Biggie is a loser!

Well people, I went back to Ferrari/Maserati Vancouver...and just as I pull in...I can see the MC-12 sitting in the garage. I started walking up to it, and a guy in the garage told me I had to get a salesman to go near it. So I went inside and the guy that I have seen there many times before (Scott) recognized me and knew I wanted to see the MC-12. He took me into the garage and we chatted for a bit then I went picture crazy. Not only was the MC-12 there, but also quite a few Ferrari 360s and F430s. Here are some pics...
