Image Credit: Broad Arrow Auctions.A rare black Ferrari Enzo is heading to auction during Monterey Car Week with an estimated value of up to $11 million. Despite its exceptional condition and factory originality, one detail is expected to keep it well below the record prices achieved by the rarest examples.Unlike many collector-grade Enzos that spend most of their lives in climate-controlled garages, this one has actually been driven. While just over 13,000 miles is barely broken in by normal standards, it's considered relatively high mileage in the ultra-exclusive world of Ferrari's halo supercars.The 2003 Ferrari Enzo is one of just 12 U.S.-market examples finished in Nero D.S. black. It is even rarer inside, as it's one of only three paired with a Rosso leather interior.AdvertisementAdvertisementBroad Arrow Auctions will offer the car without reserve during The Quail Auction on August 14. The auction house expects it to sell for between $9 million and $11 million.One Of The Rarest Ferrari Enzos BuiltImage Credit: Broad Arrow Auctions.Ferrari built just 399 Enzos for customers, with a 400th example later presented to Pope John Paul II. The model served as the brand's flagship supercar, incorporating Formula 1-inspired technology including a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, carbon-ceramic brakes, active aerodynamics, and a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V12 producing 651 horsepower.This particular car stands out thanks to its specification. Finished in Nero D.S. instead of the traditional Rosso Corsa, it combines a black exterior with Rosso leather upholstery, Nero carpets, Rosso instrument dials, and XL racing seats, making it one of the most distinctive Enzos delivered to the U.S.The car also carries Ferrari Classiche certification awarded in 2026, confirming it retains its original drivetrain, bodywork, suspension, brakes, exhaust system, and other major factory-installed components. Its official "Red Book" certification is expected to accompany the car following cataloging.A Well-Documented HistoryImage Credit: Broad Arrow Auctions.The Broad Arrow Auctions listing mentions that the Enzo was first delivered in Nevada in July 2003 before moving to Colorado in 2009. It changed hands again in 2012, spending the next decade in Arizona before relocating to Florida with its current owner in 2022.AdvertisementAdvertisementThroughout its life, the Ferrari has reportedly been serviced by authorized dealers, including Ferrari of Newport Beach, Ferrari of Denver, and Scottsdale Ferrari. Earlier this year, it also received extensive maintenance and cosmetic work totaling more than $80,000.The recent work included a major service, a steering rack rebuild, replacement of the original tires while preserving them for future ownership, replacement of interior leather components, sticky button repairs, and refinishing of the exhaust. The protective paint film was also removed, revealing what Broad Arrow describes as its original blemish-free paint underneath.The Price Of Actually Driving ItImage Credit: Broad Arrow Auctions.The Enzo currently shows 13,268 miles on its odometer. While that would be considered extremely low for almost any production vehicle, collectors often place enormous premiums on Ferrari halo cars with only a few hundred miles.That difference became clear earlier this year when another black Enzo with the same rare Rosso leather interior sold through Broad Arrow Auctions for $15.185 million. That example had accumulated only 430 miles, making it one of the lowest-mileage Enzos ever offered publicly.AdvertisementAdvertisementBy comparison, this Enzo's projected $9 million to $11 million estimate could leave several million dollars on the table despite sharing an equally rare specification. In the collector car market, actually enjoying an ultra-exclusive Ferrari can come with a surprisingly expensive price tag.Still Built To Be DrivenAlthough its mileage may reduce its auction estimate compared with ultra-low-mileage examples, this Enzo remains exceptionally original and well preserved. Broad Arrow notes that the clutch still has more than 90 percent of its service life remaining following a replacement in 2020, suggesting the car has been carefully maintained throughout its life.For some collectors, that history could actually be part of the appeal. Rather than spending two decades as a static display piece, this Ferrari has accumulated its miles while remaining fully documented, Ferrari Classiche certified, and extensively serviced, making it an example that can still be enjoyed as Maranello originally intended.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
