997 GT3 
That's right, only two ever entered the country, and the 2nd one which was yellow as you rightly pointed out, was sold to someone overseas.
There also used to be a lone Ferrari F50 which was similarly sold to someone in Texas I believe.
Some OT trivia, the guy that used to own the F50 owns one of the original Lancia Delta S4 Gruppe B rally monsters!
My friend saw it in the owner's garage! I have a picture of it that he took, but its lost somewhere on my hard drive...

Man, it looks great in Carraraweiss.
I must say, I've been a huge fan of this GT2 ever since seeing it in flesh at it's debut @ Frankfurt, and then to see it a day after seeing it blasting around the Nordschleife was just the icing on the cake!

Dami pala PINOY dito sa 6speed!!! Ayos!!!
Amazing how Philippines has one of the first on the road!
And just last January an F430 was impounded for not paying the right duties and taxes.
All this while the government is facing big time corruption charges!!! And government failed to eliminate the witness after kidnapping him. HAHAHAHA!!!
Just the way of life here in the Philippines!
Anyone wanna visit us?

yupyup! you got that right. the guy that brought the F50 in for him told me that he was all set to order a McLaren F1 next... but before he could do so, the currency devalued big time, and that was that...
though, there is an F1 in town too... rarely ever seen on public roads. owner also has an original Ferrari 250GTO in his stable!

what doesn't he have?
sometime last year a bunch of us did a Sunday drive, so you had the usual bunch of P-cars, F-cars, etc... He arrived in a Pierce-Arrow, and suddenly everyone's car looked pedestrian!

I know! heard his garage covered a whole QC block. it would be great to see his collections. and see the Ferrari DAytonas waiting to be restored, gathering dust in a corner and the all original '73 rs.
