Ferrari 250GTO going to auction - how much will it make?

[V8 Fettler]

Would be nice to have that sort of money. Imagine all the TVRs I could buy.

and I raise you ...... The whole catalogue dedicated to just the one car.


pm me what you want for yours please.

Are auction catalogues actually worth anything?! I found the one from the Goodwood sale of the Mercedes W196, which also had it's own catalogue.

Just curious as I don't have it any more, I was going to bin it but gave it away instead

The Bonhams motoring dept or the whole company?

They are apparently looking for investment, but also at the possibility of selling the whole company.

Hot sector for HF's and Private Equity at the moment...just about the most aggressive activist investor Third Point bought a decent % of Sotheby's recently.

Got me looking back through my old sale catalogues. Thought you might like to see the prices in 1995. A Ferrari Le Mans for £350,000?

I'm interested in how a 275 can be 'infinitely rarer' than GTO. Was there none of them made ?

Well now I'm thoroughly depressed. I bet you're now going to post 1995 property prices now, just to put me over the edge.

£45m or so, lots more people with cash to splash

That sheet is worth a 'how have they performed' thread all on its own. The Lotus Cortina looks like a poor buy relatively speaking?

So that car on mobile.de is apparently a replica. http://www.leftlanenews.com/historian-claims-63m-f...

It is interesting but the N/S means not sold at the price so most of it is irrelevant information.

That picture was taken at the Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum.

A lot of the cars are loaners so it is possible.

Translated by Google, the ad says, "Exact photos (these are examples) as well as information you happy and very timely get when you let us know your legitimacy and your proof of solvency for send this vehicle." So it might not be the car from the Auto & Technik Museum. It says one of the 39, but doesn't quote the chassis number..........

Sounds like a fishing scam to try to get contact and financial details. It's certainly not the obvious route to either sell or buy a genuine GTO.

Verybinteresting. Before the goodwood effect, you could go historic motor racing realtively cheaply then. And quite a few cars on that list migh get you an wntry to goodwood.

On the auction is tonight, starting at 5pm pdt. Which I think is midnight tonight. And the GTO is lot number 3. Anyome going to stay up late?? bonhams are doing a live feed

$34.65m - considering the numbers banded about must be considered low(ish) - auctioneer pushing it like mad!

OMG!! You're a motoring genius

Just wish I had bought that Countach Periscopica for £35k back in 95. Didn't one just sell for £1m? Thats an incredible ROI.
