Some old Ferrari.

That hasn't aged at all well imo, nice colour though

I think it looks fantastic. Far nicer than most of the more modern Ferraris pictured above.

Overbodied generally ugly and under wheeled springs to mind.

Not Fs finest hour for sure.

Spamming these photos...but it's been a hot minute since I've seen a Raider. One owner too, or so I was told.

Brian Harvey of East 17 had one of those….

If only it had been that car that he ran himself over with - he would have come away without a scratch but the car would probably have been written off from how I remember the panels on these. Cracking cars mind.

Yeah you probably don’t want his particular car. If Top Gear did one of those forensic tests on it, they’d probably find all sorts of unpleasantness, not least of which might be Daniela Westbrook’s nasal septum.

A new Bentley Bentayga just now, with the plate W66 BML, which is one of their own.

Probably the most "colour sensitive" car I've ever seen - looks great in some colours and absolutely fugly in others.

Am at Avantgarde in Clevedon

There's this gorgeous SLR outside currently. Interesting plate ! Owned by Qatar Royal Family. He's driving it to Monaco soon. About 2 grand in petrol which is cheaper than shipping it (8 grand)

That carbon proboscis is absolutely awful ... really don't understand why you'd be happy with that as the owner.

There’s one near me, hearing aid beige is being kind. No idea what they were thinking.

I know that nose was supposed to reference F1, but it's an awful, ugly design misstep. It ruins the look of the SLR, and of the SLK that was unfortunate enough to have to wear it for a while too.

Looks very rust free which is rare for 340's these days. Wonder why the lack of plates.

I.ike a volvo 300, very few redeeming features as a drivers car but so much better made than contemporary escorts and the like. I had an early very low.mikeage 343 with a factory lpg kit!!

I had one as a shed for a while and, coming from Fords mostly, was shocked at the solidity of the build.

I wonder if I’d see the same in modern Volvos?

[tight fart]

Think this is the press car?

But it’s fugly

And they went sideways for fun. I'd love an early 360glt three door, would be an absolute hoot.

I was lucky enough to have the use of a 360 GLT when I was only 18 as it belonged to the landlord of the pub I worked for and was insured for anyone to drive.
I enjoyed the power from the 2.0 engine but mostly the rear spoiler, leather interior, heated seats and power windows etc made a real impression on me (at the time I had a Nova SR) and I've loved the 360 GLT ever since.

The plate has been on many Ferraris over the years. It started off as a dealer plate----EHF1 = Evans Halshaw Ferrari, It looks like Evans Halshaw stopped selling Ferrari in the early 2000's with the Ferrari arm becoming PF (Evans) Ferrari. This car was at Goodwood this year and appears to now be a Ferrari press plate.
