Good at what ? Driving ?

The sound of that car made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - just amazing. Looks beautiful too, love the see-through hump on the bonnet. But for the money I think I'd be going for a Maclaren F1 and spend the rest on buying my own circuit to play with it on...

If i won the euromillions this WOULD be in my garage.

The looks, the noise, the history. All of it in one car.

Yes you could have ten Enzos, but they just wouldnt come close. If you think they would, something like this just isn't for you. But i'd still rather have this

that sound unfortunatly it made me a bit sad. I was reminded again how ste my 4-cylinder VW sounds..maybe one day...

£10 million, even if I had it, I'd feel guilty spending that much on a car, as lovely as it may be.

The person who buys this will have far more than that. You don't own a multi million pound ferrari and a daily driver hatchback.

I believe for better weight distribution. Many of the 250LMs and 250SWB's were RHD as well.

I could be wrong though....happy to be corrected!

Beautiful to the eyes and ears and I'm sure to the touch and smell if you're lucky to get in it and drive.

Anyone out there still repeating the tired received wisdom that a Ferrari has to be a 12?

First time in a long time where I've gasped out loud at the sheer beauty when a car photograph scrolled into view. It's a cliche but they REALLY don't make them like that any more.

What about if you had 1000 million? I think your perspective would dramatically change.

Surely there's a certain ginger Radio 2 presenter who'd be interested in this little number? Altho it may be too much even by his standards!

Someone Tweet it to him?
Or is this the sort of thing that those in the know already know about?

I suspect he's already well aware of this car being for sale (from the "Those in the know" scenario).

However, he has only just recently bought a 1961 Ferrari 250 TR61 for an undisclosed sum so I'm doubtful he's in the market for this car.

Is it a genuine TR61? Looks remarkably similar to a replica that was for sale through DKE a few months ago...

I'm fairly certain his 860 Monza is, however, the real deal.
