2-time Formula One World Champion, Fernando Alonso will be putting up his Ferrari Enzo up for auction at Monaco in June.

The current Aston Martin F1 driver plans to sell his Enzo "Scocca n.1" at the L'AstraRossa event happening in Monaco on June 8, 2023. The car has just 4,800 km on the odometer and will be offered with the Ferrari Classiche Red Book, certifying its authenticity.

Details of when Alonso acquired the Enzo and why he plans to sell it are unknown. The Spanish F1 driver raced for the iconic Maranello F1 team between 2010 and 2014.

Ferrari built only 400 examples of the Enzo and it is one of the most iconic cars to come out of the Italian car brand. Monaco Car Auctions estimates that Alonso's Enzo could fetch over $5.4 million at the upcoming auction.

The only possible reason for selling the icon would be insurance premium which would have shot through the roof over the years considering the legendary status the car has.

Gordon Murray admitted in one of his interviews that he had let go of his prized possession - the other legend of the era, the F1 - for the same reason. The premiums were going way beyond what a sane person would pay apparently over and above the other costs to keep the car in pristine shape.

Would be interesting to see who lays his hands on the beauty, not that there is any shortage of richie rich collectors!
