JOHANNESBURG - Ferris Cars, based in Fourways, claims to be the first car dealership in South Africa that has sold a car in exchange for Bitcoin instead of cash. And what’s more, it wasn’t just any car, but an immaculately-presented pre-owned Ferrari California.
The occasion was celebrated at a cocktail function attended by customers and media at Ferris Cars’ recently-revised showroom in the Broadacres Shopping Centre. The highlight of the evening was in fact the actual purchase of the Ferrari California by one of the guests, live on screen, demonstrating an actual Bitcoin transaction to the audience.
