Sounds like a total lemon with only 17hp but at least the revised is guaranteed.

Maybe, but do you see a price correction anywhere in the near term? The dealers keep pushing and the punters keep paying.....

JAYB, how's the crazy land yacht?

Really brightens up the driveway

Have fitted a rather nice sport interior, just waiting on a new full set of walnut veneers.

Next up will be to strip and refit the body kit, and sort a couple of bits of bodywork.

And;

There's this. With 1000bhp. One. Thousand.

That is pretty special.
To drive something like that must be something else.





etc.





All I can say is that you are a very lucky boy Ben that you get to bimble around in metal like that for your job.

Here's a picture of me a couple of years ago standing in front of the sublime '65 275 GTB 6/C that we had here. One of the most special cars I have been lucky enough to drive.....



And a better picture here -



Apologies if it's a repost

No apology needed. We need more posts like that so this volume doesn't last a full 12 months!

I even like the "entry level" model as per this advert

Here's a fun game based on earlier comments re. values: what was the sum total in that shot then and what would it be now?

My favourite Ferrari. Utterly beautiful.

Who knows? Global financial meltdown looks closer than it has for a while.

Still, if it means 250 GTEs and 330 GTs aren't £250k ...

£175k with £500 worth of Ford V8, madness:

Sorry was out driving an E Type......

From a hazy memory I would say -

Blue XK150 3.4 DHC £90K
Red XK150 3.8S Roadster £250K
Giles XK120 £200K
Dexter XK120 £100K
Green DB4 £180K (I sold it in boxes of bits and stripped)
Silver DB5 £400K
Green MKII £80K
White V12 E Type £100k
Grey 3.8 E Type £200k
White Flat Floor E Type £80k
308 GTS £35k
246 Dino £120k
275 GTB £650K
Maserati £45k

This is all from memory from a few years ago mind!

Yes. It all depends on what constitutes your wealth.

I read a piece recently quoting a dealer saying he'd have been significantly better off just shutting his doors 18 months ago rather than actually trading.

Ignores the need for cash flow and income, of course.

Would you say the biggest price jumps were on the Dino and the DB4?
