Ferrari previously possessed by England Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole is anticipated to increase in surplus of £60,000 when it goes up for auction.

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti F1A will be at auction at the Top Car sale at BCA Nottingham.
The car had a unique list price of £212,000 and is refined in metallic black with sand leather inside with extra options including 19″ alloys, sat nav, an F1-style paddleshift gearbox, heated memory seats, red brake callipers and ceramic wing shields. It’s motorized by a 540bhp 5.7-litre V12 petrol engine that does 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds and reaches a top speed 199 mph.

Cole bought the car in 2004 a year after he joined Chelsea. The car comes with a full service history from Ferrari concessionaires Maranello’s at 6000, 10,000 and 20,000 miles and has a justified mileage of 27,500.

Until the year 2010, the Ferrari California will be sold out. To bad.. I just wanted to order one!
Kiddin’ off course.. what a ride. On the show in Paris they showed this amazing ride in some kind of blue color. To bad, because Ferrari needs to be red. Well we found some images of that as well.

So let’s have a nice better look on this car… even if you can’t buy one, just like me.

Here some big images, click on them for a nice big view!

Ferrari held a launch gathering for its California convertible in Los Angeles.

The car was offered to a celebrity gathering at a function at Santa Monica Airport and one was auctioned off for contributions and it raised $520,000.
A similar function was also conducted at Ferrari’s HQ in Maranello, with Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo and F1 drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa displaying the car to Ferrari employees and their families.
