how would a browser come up with a word like "vendido" or "cipher". Great stuff these instant translators
An excerpt about it from the Ferrari press-release:
With this tale the meeting with journalists held immediately the audience with the Pope was wrapped up. During the press conference, held in the Vaticans Press Office, Jean Todt announced the President Montezemolo had decided to construct an Enzo number 400. The additional version of the limited edition 12-cylinder will be donated to Caritas before being auctioned and the proceeds sent to the victims of the tsunami in South East Asia.
Of course the built more than 400.
Prototypes, pre-production development, crash testing, they all needed cars to do that, and they didn't sell them on to the public.
They only made 399 for sale. If they are donating a 400th car to charity, that isn't changing the number of cars that were on sale.

The only reason for donating it is that it can become part of the number sold, I don't see any of the victims having any use of an Enzo, they want the equivalent value in money. Ergo, the car will be sold and 400 will be the magic number.

No it will have some meaning behinde it.
I thought they've already build 400 and put number 400 in the museum
[QUOTE=Rijoh]I thought they've already build 400 and put number 400 in the museum[/QUOTE]
No this will most likely be the one to go in the museum.
I thought the 400th car was for the factory museum? Does this mean that their won't be an Enzo in the museum or is their like 403 and they just bust one out of storage for the museum?
[QUOTE=man 430gt]No it will have some meaning behinde it.[/QUOTE]
of course, but the issue was wether a car given should be counted as a car sold :)
[QUOTE=henk4]of course, but the issue was wether a car given should be counted as a car sold :)[/QUOTE]
I don't think it should count as a car sold... sure it's still an officially recognized car by the factory, but it shouldn't count as a "car sold" due to the fact that the factory never received any money for it. It's a donation, and doesn't count, IMO...

This is all about the hype of Ferrari production figures and Ferrari chassis numbers, be sure that this particular one will have a very cherished number in 20 years from now and will probably be worth more than the auction result will produce..
I agree... I'm sure we'll see in on barchetta once the auction has concluded...

Just as Coventry already said they build 399 for sale.
So the one in the factory museum isn't number 400 since it's not for sale.
It's probably number 412 since they definitely built more than 400.

I havent heard of this - only heard of Ferrari competitions/draws with a percentage going to charity!
The website below actually gives a % of every ticket sale to charity - Cancer Research UK this year!
A really good cause, and the charity do very well indeed out of it!
Please feel free to support if you would like to!!
Many thanks!
Quite a few Enzos here in the UK sports special registration marks.
My favourite is EN 20, although there are bucket loads of ENZ numbers, including ENZ 1, ENZ 2, ENZ 111 etc.
