Footballer Owen's Ferrari for sale in Harrogate
A Ferrari which belonged to England footballer Michael Owen is up for sale at a dealership in Harrogate for an eye-watering £150,000.
The two-door 599 GTB Fiorano f1 in metallic Tour de France blue, which has two years' warranty left, would have cost 198,000 new, but Owen had another 24,000 worth of extras fitted.
The customised 2007 612bhp model has ceramic brakes worth 11,500, alloy wheels costing 2,500, a 1,350 sat nav system and a leather parcel shelf at a bargain 1,325.
The ex-Newcastle United striker's contract has run out and he is currently looking for a new club, but the car sale is unlikely to be due to the multi-millionaire being strapped for cash.
The Lawton Brook dealership advertised the car in Autotrader, describing it as a "stunning car previously belonging to Michael Owen".
"This is the best value 599 on the market today," it said.
"Just arrived in stock."
Ex-Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo wrote off a Ferrari 599 GTB in a crash in January while travelling through a tunnel near Manchester Airport.
