    Chelsea legend John Terry’s amazing £4m Ferrari collection, including rare £2m Enzo and 1960s 275 GTB priced at £1.5m

    JOHN TERRY has fulfilled his childhood dream by owning a garage full of Ferraris worth around £4million.
    The Chelsea legend, linked with the vacant Bournemouth job, loves the Italian brand so much he has several of the classy motors sitting in the garage of his Surrey home.

    John Terry boasts a stellar Ferrari car collection

    From the incredibly rare Ferrari Enzo (only 400 were ever produced) that’s worth a stonking £2m to the sleek, sophisticated 275 GTB that dates back to the 1960s that can be worth as much as £1,5m, Terry, 38, is a Ferrari aficionado.
    And if that’s not enough, his everyday runner is a £170,000 458 Spider.
    FERRARI ENZO – £2m
    In 2013, after lifting the Europa League, he splashed out on the iconic Enzo – originally produced in 2002.
    It was developed using Formula One technology, has a carbon-fibre body, and can reach a top speed of 221 mph.

    The Ferrari Enzo is a limited edition 2003 super car named after its Italian founder.Originally Ferrari only made 399 models but they turned out a 400th for the Pope.

    I used to go to a showroom in Surrey, they had Enzos, and the Enzo had been my dream car growing up but could never afford it.”
    John Terry

    Terry’s Enzo was a display car at the 2003 Amsterdam Motor Show and it had 4,163 miles on the clock when the ex-England international bought it.
    Terry admitted in an interview with Petrolicious that he had always had his eyes on one, and wished he’d been able to buy one sooner.
    He said: “I was probably about 20, 21. I used to go to a showroom in Surrey, they had Enzos, and the Enzo had been my dream car growing up but could never afford it.
    “It’s one of those things on the bucket list. Unfortunately, they were a lot cheaper back then as well. Wish I’d have bought one back then.
    “I just loved the look and the limited availability of stuff like the Enzo. Not many on the road, one gets crashed per year as well, so they’re going down.

    “It was an investment as well for the sake of the kids and stuff like that, but just loved to look at the Enzo and the classic cars. I love it.”

    Terry has Ferraris including an Enzo and 275 GTB

    The Ferrari Enzo is said to be worth a staggering £2m
    FERRARI 275 GTB – £1.5m
    If you had money, and you lived in the swinging ’60s, the 275 GTB was one of the best cars on the market.
    And in popular culture the model became iconic when it was bought by ‘King of Cool’ Steve McQueen when he filmed classic movie, Bullitt.
    JT showed of his purchase in 2015 on Instagram, that could’ve cost him anything up to £1.5m.
    The Aston Villa assistant coach bought the car from dealer Tom Hartley Jr, who has helped him build his Ferrari collection over the years.
    “In England. I deal with Tom and he advises me on this stuff,” Terry revealed.
    “I’ve had my eye on a couple of his cars for a few years and just decided to take the plunge (on the 275 GTB). I’ve always appreciated it.”
    And despite being made a long time ago, the 275 GTB is no slouch either.
    It boasts a 0-60 mph time of just over six seconds, which is still faster than most cars today.

    FERRARI 458 SPIDER – £170,000
    It’s not a bad every day runner is it?
    When Terry wants to go to the shops, he often takes his 458 Spider with him, and why not?
    Capable of hitting 0-60 in a staggering 3.3 seconds, it’ll get you where you want to go fast.
    And, of course, it doesn’t cheap with a price tag of around £170,000.
    Other footballers who love the 458 Spider include Mario Balotelli and Arsenal star Mesut Ozil, who all own one.
    Terry invested in the Spider back in 2012, and often travelled to Chelsea’s Cobham training ground in it.

    FERRARI TESTAROSSA – £150,000
    Although he hasn’t shared any images of them on social media, Terry’s Ferrari collection also includes a Testarossa (worth £150k in good nick), as made famous by Tom Selleck in Magnum PI, and a Lusso, that today costs around £200k.
    But Terry doesn’t just confine himself to supercars, and admittedly does like something a little more comfortable from time to time.
    That’s why he’s also been seen over the years driving motors including a Rolls-Royce Wraith (£250k), a Bentley Continental GT (£160k), as well as a special edition gold Range Rover Overfinch (£90k).

    “Range Rover, that’s my day to day with the kids, school run and stuff like that,” Terry revealed
    “I’ve got the Range Rover for the family, and I’ve obviously got my cars that I love, which is the Enzo.”
    When it comes to getting behind the wheel, it’s clear that Terry loves to live life in the fast lane.

    Jose Mourinho’s cars: Tottenham manager owns Jaguar and Bentley, and was gifted a Ferrari by Chelsea owner Abramovich

    JOSE MOURINHO has been driving football fans round the bend for some time now.
    The Tottenham Hotspur boss has his own personal chauffeur – but the Special One has got a history when it comes to motors.

    Jose Mourinho may not drive himself anymore but the Tottenham boss is mad about cars

    From the car bought for Mourinho by his father to the gift from Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, and the Aston Martin at Inter to the 1996 crash in Barcelona, SunSport takes a look back at Mourinho’s life in cars.
    The Spurs chief, who is a fan of rally driving, has employed his own personal driver as he doesn’t like driving in England.
    When he was Manchester United boss Mourinho was driven every day from the Lowry Hotel to  United’s Carrington Training Base in his own Bentley or Jaguar F-Pace.

    My father bought a Renault 5 for me when I was 18, when I’d just got my driving licence. It was silver.”

    But in 1981, back in his native Portugal, an 18-year-old Mourinho was on the road as soon as he could.

    “My father bought a Renault 5 for me when I was 18, when I’d just got my driving licence. It was silver,” Mourinho said, as quoted by the Telegraph.
    “I was at university in Lisbon, which was about 40 miles away from my house.
    “I later bought a Honda Civic – the first car I bought myself.”
    His dad wasn’t the only person to buy him a car, though.

    Fast forward a couple of decades to the February of 2008, just five months after being sacked by Abramovich, and Mourinho had a delivery to his door.
    Outside was a 612 Scaglietti Ferrari worth £250,000, and it was one of just 60 produced as part of the Italian supercar’s 60th anniversary.
    The surprise gift came after Mourinho had told his former boss that if he could have his choice of motors, he would pick the four-seat Scaglietti.
    That may just have been the start of his second coming at Stamford Bridge in 2013.

    Before that, Mourinho went to Inter Milan.
    After guiding the club to the Treble in 2010, he thought he would reward himself.
    “It was the best season of my career,” he told The Sun.

    When I bought it I said to my son and to my daughter, ‘That’s not for sale, you must keep it forever.’”
    Jose on buying an Aston Martin Rapide

    “I won every competition with Inter. We did the famous treble — the league, the cup and the Champions League. At the same time I won the first Fifa gold ball for a manager.
    “So, 2010 was the perfect, perfect season and I bought a car, an Aston Martin Rapide.
    “When I bought it I said to my son and to my daughter, ‘That’s not for sale, you must keep it forever’.”
    It is a long way from the Suzuki Vitara he had while an assistant coach to Sir Bobby Robson at Barcelona in 1996.
    But it wasn’t long before that ended up on the scrapheap.

    “I had a crash,” Mourinho recalled. “I went with Bobby Robson to sign a contract in Barcelona in 1996, but drove so as not to be spotted in airports.
    “It was late and when I was driving back to Portugal I fell asleep.
    “I was really lucky – I broke a few ribs and had some stitches in my head, so nothing really big.”
    But that wasn’t the only involvement Mourinho has had with car crashes.
    In 1985, long before Mourinho rose to prominence as a football manager, he was playing for Comercio e Industria in the Sebutal District League.

    After a post-training lunch, a team-mate headed to his car to go home.
    As he turned on the ignition the engine exploded, and Mourinho came to his rescue.

    The car was on fire and Jose pulled him out. It wasn’t about a question of pride, he was just glad to have saved his team-mate’s life.”
    Eladio Parades

    Spokesman Eladio Parades said: “The car was on fire and Jose pulled him out.
    “It wasn’t about a question of pride, he was just glad to have saved his team-mate’s life.”
    Nowadays, Mourinho is mostly seen in the passenger seat of the latest Jaguars.
    He is a brand ambassador for British manufacturer Jaguar who appeared to think they were Mourinho’s official spokesman.

    In 2016, when he was linked with the United job, the sponsor tweeted to congratulate Mourinho for his new role before it was announced.
    Jaguar had let the cat out the bag.
    Given Mourinho’s return to the Premier League with Tottenham, it may not be long before Jaguar is preparing another tweet.
    But wherever he goes, the coach will not be driving himself.

    “I don’t like driving in England,” he once said. “I have to be really focused, to drive on the other side of the road.
    “I enjoy my driving in Portugal. It annoys me that I don’t enjoy it here.
    “I have a driver now, so I can use the phone or watch a movie.”

    Emmanuel Adebayor’s incredible car collection features £360,000 Rolls-Royce and cool £18,000 Can-Am Spyder

    EMMANUEL ADEBAYOR’S car collection quite simply leaves all others biting the dust.
    And it is his customised Rolls-Royce Phantom that steals the show, not least because of its price tag.

    Emmanuel Adebayor has an – as expected – outrageous car collection

    Adebayor showed off his motors on Instagram to motivate his fans
    The former Arsenal star,  has just showed off his luxury motors on Instagram to “motivate” his fans to be the best they can be.
    That came after he explained why he is refusing to donate to Togo’s coronavirus crisis.
    The most impressive motor in his fleet is his one-of-a-kind Roller that starts at an eye-popping £360,000 – with an orange paint job and matching interior.
    And there is the personalised number plate – 0004 SEA – a reference to his shirt number and initials, Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor.

    No wonder that alongside one image of him at the wheel of the car he wrote: “Love my lifestyle.”
    Adebayor, who last played for Paraguayan club Olimpia, boasts an amazing array of cars which he keeps safely under cover at a custom-built hangar at his huge home in Accra, Ghana.

    SPYDER MAN
    One photo shows Adebayor apparently fast asleep with his cavalcade stretched out behind him as far as the eye could see.
    The Roller took pride of place in that photo but it is his £18,000 Can-Am Spyder trike which is probably his weirdest vehicle.

    The futuristic three-wheeler boasts 115hp and electronic cruise control.
    It looks ideal for a quick trip down to the shops.

    ROUND THE BENZ
    But for that, Adebayor uses his souped-up Mercedes-Benz people carrier.
    The motor features leather La-Z-Boy seating, curtains on the windows, an arm rest between the back two chairs and stands for his phone and iPad.
    Smiling happily inside for one photo, Adebayor captioned the snap: “On my way to town for some quick shopping.”
    Should he fancy something different then the Togo star can whip out his Mercedes-Benz G65 SUV, which starts from around £170,000.

    With a handcrafted AMG 6.0L V12 and 621hp, the impressive all-terrain beast packs a serious punch.
    But Adebayor is more than willing to share his cars and his cash.
    GENEROUS ADEBAYOR
    It was reported that in 2012 the former Real Madrid striker gave away a Range Rover – said to be worth six figures – to his close mate and comedian Funny Face.
    This year for his birthday, Adebayor told his pal that he could have pretty much whatever he wanted.

    Adebayor wrote in a gushing Instagram post: “I would like you to go to the nearest Access Bank in Accra, there is a blank cheque waiting.
    “It’s for you to write any amount on it.
    “Please remember we promised not to finish each other’s money, so be reasonable.”

    A FINE COLLECTION
    So keen is Adebayor on cars that he even has traffic jams at his home!
    He uploaded a photo to his Instagram showing a line of cars at his house.
    And, though it cannot be confirmed if they were all his, he owns so many motors he might consider installing some traffic lights.
