Owen's old Ferrari - yours for £150,000
A FERRARI once owned by former Newcastle United striker Michael Owen is up for sale 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 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 striker's contract at St James's Park ran out this week, but the car sale is unlikely to be due to the multi-millionaire being strapped for cash.
The Lawton Brook dealership in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, 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.
