Luca’s Fezza for sale

Oh dear. Seems no one is immune from the recession, not even Ferrari's top brass. In an effort to scrape together a few quid, Luca di Montezemolo - the bloke in charge of the Prancing Horse - is auctioning off his 599.
 
OK, so it's all for charity. But we can't help thinking what his next motor will be? Maybe he's doing the sensible thing and downsizing, to a Mini Cooper S or something. Or maybe he's after something more flashy to pootle around the Riveria - a California maybe?
 
Perhaps it just a charade. Maybe he really does need the cash. In which case he'll be selling the rest of his junk from the back of a van. Look out for the Montezemolo crockery at a car boot sale near you soon...
 
If you feel like giving the guy a break, dig out your wallett and start bidding.
