Kerry Katona's husband says goodbye to his beloved Ferrari
Last updated at 12:59pm on 07.03.08It was Mark Croft's new prized toy a month ago, but Kerry Katona's husband yesterday bid farewell to his beloved £125,000 Ferrari 430 Spider.
The vehicle was spotted being removed from the £13million Cheshire mansion Croft shares with wife Kerry Katona.
Car enthusiast Croft, who regularly changes sports cars, is now planning to exchange the vehicle for another fast set of wheels, a friend of his tells Mail Online.

Once over: the expensive vehicle was checked by an inspector before being removed and taken back to Croft's friend
"Mark loves changing cars; it's his passion," the friend said, adding: "He has an arrangement with friends to share sports vehicles."
Persistent reports have claimed that Kerry's finances are in a dire state – she is said to be on the verge of being declared bankrupt if she fails to meet a huge tax debt.
But the couple's friend refutes this, telling Mail Online: "All this talk about bankruptcy is nonsense. They only owe about £20,000 having previously owed around £200,000, and she makes £2 or £3 million pounds a year."
Not that there is a shortage of transport available to the pair – former cab driver Mark Croft looked to be in his element on Monday as he hit the road on his new Ducati 1098.

At Christmas Kerry was reported to have treated him to the £12,000 bike, despite the fact he already had a £10,000 Ducati.
Mark, who doesn't appear to be independently employed, has been seen in a fleet of more than twenty cars in recent times, according to reports.
Recent acquisitions are said to include a Lamborghini, multiple Porsches, Range Rovers, Aston Martins and BMWs among others.

She told OK! magazine: "I'm sorry but what woman who is pregnant has not had a glass of wine? Get over it. A lot of women have more than that. I'm sick of people judging me."
Her spokesperson Max Clifford has also dismissed as "nonsense" reports she has taken cocaine during her pregnancy.

For god's sake leave her alone, how can she stay out of the limelight when the press are camped outside her door. She married Mark because she must love him so where's the problem, it does not matter what anyone else thinks, they are happy with each other and that's all that matters. Kerry has a lot of fans but I feel only people who dislike her write things she has lots of fans that's why she won I'm a celebrity. Good Luck Kerry & Mark
