Had a successful 2015? Exceeded all your targets? Gone above and beyond for your employer? If so, you might receive a bonus or a bottle of bubbly. But for one luxury vehicle dealer its reward was a Ferrari F1 car.

Surely going down as one of the coolest Christmas deliveries of 2015, H.R. Owen - a London based car showroom - was gifted with the car on Thursday after being awarded the Ferrari dealer of the year accolade.

The only problem was trying to maneuver the multi-million pound motor into the Kensington premises, which resulted in the car blocking midday traffic and having to be carried into the dealership.

The prize was awarded by the exotic Italian carmaker after the dealer won its Global Ferrari Dealer of the Year for 2015.

But a combination of drawing a large onlooking crowd and blocking the road unloading the car from the trailer on a weekday afternoon caused chaos for central London motorists.

'We are used to reversing all manner of supercars into the showroom, and it usually causes a stir when we do, but unloading an F1 car was something else,' H.R. Owen sales manager Shawn Thom said.

'We had planned to take our time with the unloading, but with the number of cars stopping abruptly and slowing the traffic we had to get it inside as quickly as possible. Not easy with minimal steering lock!

'It was great to see the public reaction however, and we look forward to showing people around it while it is with us in the showroom.'

The good news for the dealer though is that it's not a loan either — the F1 car now belongs to the dealership to do with as they please. Though Thom told us it will be off limits for customers to sit in.

What's that? Members of the public were shocked to see the Formula 1 car loaded in the back of the delivery truck

Plenty of admirers stopped to take pictures of the car, though H.R. Owen told us it doesn't have an engine in it

The car itself is made up of genuine parts from the season just finished — as driven by Sebastian Vettel to three victories — and is valued in excess of £2million.

But one vital element is missing from the Ferrari SF15-T — the engine, which has been removed and retained by the F1 team.

'The rest of the car is made from unused spare parts from the 2015 season, meaning it's brand new and 100 per cent correct in terms of specification,' an H.R. Owen spokeperson told us.

'F1 cars are not usually released before three or four years, so to have a current season car is very rare indeed.'
