TWO Ferraris belonging to the former King of Spain Juan Carlos I are being auctioned by the tax authorities.
Both the Ferrari FF (F151) are three years old, 6.3cc, 12V, Euro 5 emissions levels, and 486 CV with 20” diamond-studded wheel-hubs, hand-held fire extinguishers, leather mats and trays, back-seat entertainment system, maximum-power Hi-Fi, frontal and parking cameras, coloured steering wheels, TV tuner, screen for passengers and blacked-out rear windows.
Their tyres are said to be practically unworn, and the metallic grey one has 763 kilometres on the clock, plus two scratches on the nearside front and rear wings which are said to be 'negligible'.
It has been valued at €345,000, but the black one, which does not have a mark on it and has never been driven at all, is given a value of €350,000.
They were a gift to the now-abdicated King by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, chief minister of the United Arab Emirates, just after Juan Carlos I visited the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi in November 2011, when Spain's Fernando Alonso came second.
