Enzo brutalized in Netherlands

A supercar in distress is never a pleasant sight. An Enzo brutalized is a crying offense. It's believed the driver of the car was a mechanic at a Ferrari dealer in Hilversum. The car's registration plates were identified as being "garage" plates. The car left the N221 highway in Baarn in January 2022.
An Enzo will bring something past $3m. This Enzo significantly less. On the semi bright side, values for the other 399 examples are on the rise.
