Default Ferrari Estate - WTF?
Saw this while I was walking up Sloane Street yesterday, sorry about the bad pics only had my mobi on me!!







Looked completely genuine to me...but I'm pretty sure Ferrari never made an estate car!! Anyone shed any light?

Some rich arab would have had it made by Pininfarina or similar coachbuilder or design house.

Not an official Ferrari model.

Probably an ex Sultan of Brunei car actually. I know he had 3 or 4 of these made.

Do you think the original owner just ran out of things to spend his money on?

Phil, just like this Ferarri estate, the Peugeot 406 (Coupe) was also designed by Pininfarina.

Even though he rest of the 406 range was designed in house by the Peugeot design team, the Pininfarina "signature" or influence is there to be seen, so the similar look of your old mans pug estate to this Ferarri is no coincidence.

He bought two houses in Bishop's Avenue in Hampstead, and knocked them into one!
