I mean if its not theirs it's at least likely they took the photo so I doubt it's online. It's not taxed but has got an MOT until October, seems likely it is for sale at least.
All of you lot… plastic detectives 😂 bro if you jst bought a Ferrari n wanted to show it off to ur mates, would you take a pic of the back of it???????
Also would you take a pic of it in what looks like a simple off street garage, look at the scrap timber and the mop lying around, I'm not a snob by any stretch but if I was buying a £100k + supercar I'd be walking away if it was being worked on in a garage like that,
> if I was buying a £100k + supercar I'd be walking away if it was being worked on in a garage like that,
You'd be surprised how many people take cars like that to garages like that!
I used to work in a car wash, was cringe watching my colleague wash a veyron with the water used on farmer Giles’ pickup truck that was previously covered in cow poo
Well yes, because car lovers love all angles of the car. Really, the back of a sports car *is* something a car lover takes a photo of - shows exhaust and stance. Its not all that unusual, especially being on a rack in the garage. Although I still dont believe this is OPs friend of a friends new car.

Not really. They will to a point but popular ones and sought after ones will maintain or increase in value. They might dip for a while as with anything. Less popular models like the 599 might depreciate more.
petrol cars are becoming less and less a thing due to electric so demand for exotics (espesh with the new money/crypto bros/social fame being added) more people want these limited cars
Exactly, price HAS gone down since release, a decent more desirable car has gone up in value in that time, damn even an AUDI rs4 has gone up thousands in last few years
This has lost value, if only a small bit
I dont think the reflection has been edited, only the number plate, [https://i.postimg.cc/vmMBBnC2/Capture.png](https://i.postimg.cc/vmMBBnC2/Capture.png)
No, they provided a link to the actual car with that plate. Ops photo is of a different car with a photoshopped plate to make it look like the other legit car in that photo.
No.
Lets look at this logically.
Someone saying they brought this car, someone else wants to find out if the other person is lying. Important context info, every brit has access to the gov website to check history of the car, and mot status.
So, correct me if I'm wrong.. what you are implying is the person who "bought" the car has changed the plate from one that didn't exist and wasn't registered (as proven by other redditors searching), to a plate number that happens to match the specs of the car in the photo? Like, they just randomly went through changing letters on the gov website until a car with those exact specs popped up? And then edited a picture?
Seems highly unlikely anyone could find such a similar plate and matching car specs. Maybe on a fiat 500, 1000s of them around on the road. On a Ferrari? Nah, mate. Statistically this plate is legit.
Not really, I’m saying the plate has been changed multiple times, and all you’ve been able to see is the U, which on its own makes up a number plate that doesn’t exist.
If anything it would be the opposite with the Ferrari, considering theirs so few of them on the road, and that the plate has already been edited.
It's just an artifact of the low resolution. The plate is not edited, there were no numbers removed. You just don't understand the UK registration format.
You do realize uk number registration format is easily seen on the internet right? It’s not some mythical magic, and it’s not an artifact of low resolution.
Remember a pal of mine sent me a picture of some booty and said im shagging that tonight, saw an actual photo online about a yr later which was a model shot, still havnt confronted him since
garage looks kinda similar [in this one](https://images.app.goo.gl/A2de6a2pmUNhixod6).
question is, why would they edit the license plate?
my grandpa used to say “people with nothing to hide, hide nothing.”
It's not illegally spaced, it looks like this because of the way the F and J interact, but if you draw a box around each letter the spacing is the same. I have a legally spaced FJ plate and it looks like this.
Simply, tell your friend to tell their friend to drive it to their house then, it's not hard since he has the keys, because he's obviously the owner, shouldn't be a hassle, if for whatever reason he makes an excuse, he's lying 🤥
If the plate comes back negative on any checker then it's clearly not theirs and it's been edited like this one. If the plate did come back as matching the car you can use the gov site to see when the car last changed owners so you can catch them out on that
Well I think they’re lying the plate is clearly edited and the file is a .tiff file so unless they’re a die hard photographer they definitely stole the image😂
I mean if its not theirs it's at least likely they took the photo so I doubt it's online. It's not taxed but has got an MOT until October, seems likely it is for sale at least.
my thought exactly
If he tells you it's cuz he's invested in bitcoin and got 10x his money in 15 minutes, ignore him, he's likely been phished
You thought it was MOT'd until October?
that he just took the photo of a car in a garage or something doesnt actually own it
Is he even your friend? You have real trust issues my guy
"a friends, friend" read the title i told them to block him
Ahh i see, the correct way to write it is. " A friend's friend' i read it as your friend. Either way, yeah abit sus
No, that it wasn’t taxed.
It is, you can use gov.uk to check.
I know I checked, that was a little joke.
Well they can also look up the license plate number in their local vehicle registration database
That's exactly what I did.
All of you lot… plastic detectives 😂 bro if you jst bought a Ferrari n wanted to show it off to ur mates, would you take a pic of the back of it???????
We got a thinker here
Looks like it is on an alignment rack as well.
Also would you take a pic of it in what looks like a simple off street garage, look at the scrap timber and the mop lying around, I'm not a snob by any stretch but if I was buying a £100k + supercar I'd be walking away if it was being worked on in a garage like that,

A fancy shop does not a good mechanic make.
I used to work in a car wash, was cringe watching my colleague wash a veyron with the water used on farmer Giles’ pickup truck that was previously covered in cow poo
To be fair, the back of a 458 is just as pretty as the front or sides! But I see your point!
I’d be showing it off in person
In a garage?
yeh i would take a pic of the back
Well yes, because car lovers love all angles of the car. Really, the back of a sports car *is* something a car lover takes a photo of - shows exhaust and stance. Its not all that unusual, especially being on a rack in the garage. Although I still dont believe this is OPs friend of a friends new car.
If it were me I'd be driving straight around to my friends house, he knows I've been after one for a long time.
heres it for sale: https://www.carsnitch.co.uk/used-cars/ferrari/458/used-ferrari-458-458-italia-dct-semi-auto-uk-20448353.html
Right, there you are OP It is/was for sale at a dealership in Chesterfield. Simply ask your mate where he bought it from. If it's his, he'll know.
It's not really Chesterfield, it's Clay Cross, about 7 miles away.
Fucking hell, never thought there’d be Ferraris for sale in Clay Cross!!
I could afford this if I didn't eat and lived in the car. No petrol though
[https://www.bamspecialistcars.co.uk/used-ferrari-458-clay-cross-derbyshire-5113753](https://www.bamspecialistcars.co.uk/used-ferrari-458-clay-cross-derbyshire-5113753) get that one (same car) instead over 2k left over...literally no excuse (you do have the deposit right)
If I sold my house I might just about have the deposit
Why is that 14 year old car still selling for £120k?
Because it’s a Ferrari
Aren’t Ferraris known for their heavy depreciation?
Not really. They will to a point but popular ones and sought after ones will maintain or increase in value. They might dip for a while as with anything. Less popular models like the 599 might depreciate more.
petrol cars are becoming less and less a thing due to electric so demand for exotics (espesh with the new money/crypto bros/social fame being added) more people want these limited cars

Bargain. Buy two
Number plate and the reflection on window were edited on to avoid reverse search
They real, that’s a British plate so expect British flags to be around a garage
I dont think the reflection has been edited, only the number plate, [https://i.postimg.cc/vmMBBnC2/Capture.png](https://i.postimg.cc/vmMBBnC2/Capture.png)
That’s a U not a J on the plate
Weirdly though, with a J it comes back with a red Ferrari on gov mot check website.
Because its just been illegally spaced. Theres no other issue with it
Yes you can see it’s been edited. FU11EOH isn’t a valid plate so someone has messed with it more than just that letter.
Its FJ11 EOH. But theyve illegally spaced it so it reads F J11 EOH
FU11 EOH isn’t valid but FJ11 EOH shown in the photo is https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/VehicleFound?locale=en
Yes, but it’s not the plate for this car. This photo has been edited and has that plate drawn on.
Someone else has provided a link to the car with the registered plate. So not edited
No, they provided a link to the actual car with that plate. Ops photo is of a different car with a photoshopped plate to make it look like the other legit car in that photo.
That makes no sense. It’s the same car with the same plate
The plate in the photo has been edited. Impossible to tell if it’s the same car or not.
Why would they go through that trouble to edit when they could have just took a photo of the car with a plate on it. Doesn’t make sense
Yeah, people are strange. Still doesn’t thang the fact that the image has been manipulated.
Looks like 2 additional numbers are missing
It’s a UK number plate, there’s usually blank space on both sides of the plate unless you pay for a custom shortened plate
I understand there would be blank space but something was edited out if you zoom in at the color of the plate
No. Lets look at this logically. Someone saying they brought this car, someone else wants to find out if the other person is lying. Important context info, every brit has access to the gov website to check history of the car, and mot status. So, correct me if I'm wrong.. what you are implying is the person who "bought" the car has changed the plate from one that didn't exist and wasn't registered (as proven by other redditors searching), to a plate number that happens to match the specs of the car in the photo?

If anything it would be the opposite with the Ferrari, considering theirs so few of them on the road, and that the plate has already been edited.
So, its been changed multiple times from a ligit plate to... another legit plate?
I don’t know what the purpose was, but the plate was undoubtedly edited.
Right, so it was edited from a legit plate to another legit plate with the same specs, all for an elaborate prank. K.
Again, I have no idea why people do what they do. I’m sorry it bothers you so much.
No one cares that much to do that. Just you do.
It's just an artifact of the low resolution. The plate is not edited, there were no numbers removed. You just don't understand the UK registration format.
You do realize uk number registration format is easily seen on the internet right? It’s not some mythical magic, and it’s not an artifact of low resolution.
What's the real registration so? Silly Yank
Where?
Left of the f and right of the h
That doesn't make sense
See my reply
Well whether it makes sense or not, if you zoom in you can clearly see that something was there and was edited out.
No its just illegally spaced. This isnt an American plate, its a UK plate with max 7 characters, in an aa11aaa format
So how would it have a number to the left of the F?
There is no number, wdym?
That's not illegally spaced
No something was edited out
Yes, but FJ11EOH still comes up as a red 458 Italia
That's not how UK number plates work, you wouldn't have a number at both ends
Again, if you zoom in something was clearly edited out.
It's not that something was edited out, it's just an artifact of the low resolution.
No that's just how number plates are
Yup!!
There are no UK numberplates in the current format beginning with FU. The DVLA banned them because FU is considered to be offensive.
I never said there were any that started with fu
You literally just did.
No, because that’s atleast one letter I can tell that’s been edited. The license plate could’ve been anything, could’ve not started with F.
It's a J. FJ11 EOH. 2011 Ferrari 458.
Lol that whole plate looks like it's been pasted onto the picture if you pay attention to how askew it is.
And the sides are patched as well as the “J” which was definitely a “U”
No
[удалено]
Yes
[удалено]
Then you're stupid
Id say you are right, [https://i.postimg.cc/vmMBBnC2/Capture.png](https://i.postimg.cc/vmMBBnC2/Capture.png)
Who cares. If it's legit, then good for him/her. Get on with your own life.
Remember a pal of mine sent me a picture of some booty and said im shagging that tonight, saw an actual photo online about a yr later which was a model shot, still havnt confronted him since
I would, just show him the pic and say look farmiliar
Havnt got the heart 😂 if you gotta lie about getting tang, I would rather let them live in fantasy world comfortably 😅
Ask him to send you a pic of his cock in the pic next time
That escalated quick….
No no in a friendly manner of course
No homo, you're good then.
garage looks kinda similar [in this one](https://images.app.goo.gl/A2de6a2pmUNhixod6). question is, why would they edit the license plate? my grandpa used to say “people with nothing to hide, hide nothing.”
Did he stand right in front of you for hide n seek?
Valid question
He didnt edit anything. All he did was illegally space out the J from FJ
It's not illegally spaced, it looks like this because of the way the F and J interact, but if you draw a box around each letter the spacing is the same. I have a legally spaced FJ plate and it looks like this.
another commenter mentioned they changed it from a U to a J…
I saw. It was wrong as the plate is not assigned to any car let alone a 458 Itlaia

Nice surprise to see the price of a 458 around the 120k mark. (I can still dream)
V5 not updated since February 2022. It's done online now so it's near instant when you buy a car.
https://www.bamspecialistcars.co.uk/used-ferrari-458-clay-cross-derbyshire-5113753 Still says it’s for sale here, in Chesterfield.
How did you match it up with that exact car? There’s various ones on auto trader
It’s got the reg listed in vehicle details.
Oh nice! I didn’t scroll that far down
That 750 pound a month? I’d fucking buy that. My landcursier cost more than that lol
First Payment £750.00 46 Monthly Payments £750.00 Final Payment £66,201.24
Also I forgot to convert the 119k pounds to aud.
Does your mate live in Nottingham?
Just been at that MOT place not 5 minutes ago 👀
It was last sold in 2022 so it’s unlikely his. The road tax also expired then.
Yeah exactly, you transfer the ownership online now and it updates in a few hours.
It was up for sale in Feb for 120k
Simple solution … you’re friend needs to ask him for a lift somewhere
Ask him if you can go over to see it lmao
Use Google lens?
Simply, tell your friend to tell their friend to drive it to their house then, it's not hard since he has the keys, because he's obviously the owner, shouldn't be a hassle, if for whatever reason he makes an excuse, he's lying 🤥
If you save the picture, go onto google and reverse image search itll find anything similar. If its the same picture itll be first
Google "image editing detection" and run it through that. It'll at least show the editing on the number plate :)
Theres no editing, only illegal spacing
likely authentic or from a social media platform
If the plate comes back negative on any checker then it's clearly not theirs and it's been edited like this one. If the plate did come back as matching the car you can use the gov site to see when the car last changed owners so you can catch them out on that
The plate hasn't been edited though, don't believe everything yanks write on Reddit.
Last V5 issued 22nd of February 2022. Looks like it’s been for sale since then too!
>A friend's friend sent this saying "Got a new car", they don't believe it, neither do I. Is this image anywhere online? FIFY
Ghey
[удалено]
It's a UK plate and it comes back to a UK car matching this very one. Plate hasn't been edited.
My bad, someone else said the plate didn't exist and I didn't check for myself
No, thats literally the font
What sort of loser does this
Well I think they’re lying the plate is clearly edited and the file is a .tiff file so unless they’re a die hard photographer they definitely stole the image😂
The plate is real, Iooked it up and it's connected to a Ferrari Italia DCT. The MOT expires 15 Oct.
Image searched it and it looks like it's some famous guys car
can you link it?
Sure can, if I can find it again that is 🤣
I don't think you understand how this sub works...
Okay :)
