Enzo was gifted a Mini by Sir Alec Issigonis (designer of the mini) and he is said to have like the Mini in winter driving specifically. (thanks Steve!)

Alec Issigonis is famously known as the genius behind the Mini. Its compact dimensions, front-drive layout and cute face made it a hit among buyers in the low-cost segment. It also struck a chord with Mr. Ferrari, and he and Alec became mutual admirers. Enzo drove a Mini Cooper with some custom lights that was apparently a gift from Issigonis himself. He especially preferred it in the winter for its superior front-drive traction.
