It’s hard to believe that nearly 20 years after it went out of production, you can experience the joy of peeling the protective wrapping on a Ferrari Enzo for yourself, but that it precisely the opportunity being presented to one lucky enthusiast.
Being sold out of Ontario, Canada, this 2003 Ferrari Enzo was shipped to Japan when it was new, but once there, it was never registered. That means that today, the car has just 141 miles (227 km) on the odometer, the vast majority of which were put on Ferrari test drivers, at the factory.
Just why it was never registered is not made clear, but that means that there are quite a few sections of the car that haven’t even been touched since they left the factory. In photos provided by the RM Sotheby’s, which is handling the sale, the factory protective plastic can be seen, still in place over the pedals, behind the seats, and on the side sills, among other locations.

Even the key has been left in its original plastic baggy, though that has been pierced through in order to allow the car to be driven. The factory three-piece, fitted luggage set, too, remains in its original wrapping.
In addition to being practically untouched, this Ferrari is also unique. One of an estimate of nine examples finished in Argento Nürburgring 101/C paint, it is claimed that this is the only one with Cuio leather upholstery—all the other cars featured either black or red interiors.
Like other Ferrari Enzos, the car is powered by a 6.0-liter, naturally-aspirated V12 engine that made 651 hp (485 kW/660 PS) from the factory. That power is sent to the rear wheels, via a six-speed “F1” automated manual transmission.
Offered by RM Sotheby’s, the car is currently located in Blenheim, Ontario, not far from the Detroit border. It is, however, in Canada under temporary import from Japan, so buyers may have to pay import duties if they win this lot, which is being auctioned between March 15-17.
