The Great Characters Enzo Ferrari Special Edition pens feature Ferrari’s signature “Rosso 70 Anni '' colour on the cap and barrel, which are made from metal evoking the surface of the original Ferrari 125 S engine. The years 1898 — the year of his birth — and 1923 — the year he won his first race — are marked on the cone. On the pen’s metal ruthenium-coat clip, the quote “You cannot describe passion, you can only live it” is laser-engraved.
The Enzo Ferrari pen will be limited to 1898 pieces and are available as a rollerball, ballpoint, and fountain pen fitted with a solid gold rhodium-coated nib which has been engraved with a Ferrari 250 GTO wheel. The Great Characters Enzo Ferrari Special Edition pens are now available from the Montblanc website.
