Ferrari can be pretty anal when it comes to modifying its cars or even using its badges on a vehicle other than its own. Now the Italian supercar-maker is threatening to take legal actions against the British owner of the world’s fastest limousine, a modified 360 Modena that can go up a top speed of 166mph – 267 km/h. According to reports, Dan Cawley, 36, of Cheadle, Manchester, has 14 days to remove all prancing horse badges, Ferrari names and “360 Modena” symbols from the 6m (20ft) supercar-limo.

“What kind of precedent does it set when you can’t do what you like with your own property?” asked Mr Cawley. Ferrari’s lawyers support that since Mr Cawley cut the 360 Modena in half and inserted a 3m (9.5ft) section of hand-built carbon fibre, the car is no longer a Ferrari, so he has to remove the badges and logos or else he’ll face legal action for infringing the Ferrari trademark.

na Ferrari sabi oo... me kuku like as dis one take long!�

who owns the car, Ferrari or the man.

Well they have a point before people will start putting the horse on Danfo and it's value will drop

The famous musician, Liberace, created a Volksroyce in the 1960s (it's a mashup of a Volkswagen Beetle and a Rolls Royce). This created a demand for similar cars and several companies started making Volksroyces.

Rolls Royce sued all of the companies and forced them to stop making Volksroyces.

However, coach builders in Nigeria continued making Volksroyces well into the 1980s.

They are absolutely correct. It is no longer a Ferrari and should not be identified with them, their brand or their representations. You cannot put kunu in a coke bottle and call it coke. Simple. The public above all should understand that because we donot know the man's intentions and where this could consequentially lead to.If he wants to do a Brabus or AMG he should contact Ferrari and deal.

Imagine the useless Oyibo people

Imagine me getting sued on top my own property

This is nonsense and doesn't make meaning to me

There maybe terms and conditions which most people don't usually read when purchasing stuff..

Guy where did you buy your sense of humour? I don die .

OP please next time put up an image of the 360 Modena so that people will know what wickedness this man has done this beautiful car.

He should remove the badge, simple. You can establish Chelsea football Club of Isale Eko but when you copyright on their badge and other paraphernalia you will be slammed by FIFA and risk legal action.

REmove their logo and but CAWRARRI shekena.

It simply means they can no longer guarantee that limo as their product!

Ferrari is right here...

Rubbish. Did they gift him the car or did they sell it to him cheap so that he does not modify it? That's nonsense. They should be glad he bought a Ferrari in the first instance.

Would those T&C apply to me if I am not the first buyer of the car?

Let's say I bought it from a person that also bought it from another person that bought it from the original buyer.

You own the car, but you don't own the trademark (Ferrari name, Ferrari logo, etc).
