I see this Daytona often , (original including the very unusual colour). The owner drops by my local coffee shop all the time. It is not so common now as the value of classics keep rising. , saw it there this morning.. Refreshing to see it being used. Cell phone photo so not very good.....car is immaculate.

Lovely to see a car that like being used (chrome wires: meh). There are a few classics like E30 cab, W124 around my way used as DDs and regularly used classics like mk2 Jag, Stag, V12 E-type, but nine worth £500k!

Friend of one of my brothers - he was restoring a classic car (Austin Cambridge estate)

He needed a car to tide him over while the Cambridge was still being restored - to use as a daily driver.

Now many people might be a typical stop gap car - old Micra, Fccus or something.

His solution - fly over to the uk - (we are all in Ireland) and buy another Austin Cambridge estate.

I love that sort of thinking biggrin

I hate to say this but that could be a replica. There are relatively a lot of Daytona replicas in good condition running a Jaguar V12. Saying that an owner of a small chain of shops near me used to be able to afford a genuine Diablo in lovely condition.

Completely genuine. I know a bit about its history. Has always been here in Ontario. The colour was a special order. The owner has some other great cars. When you hear it of course, there is no question.. Car has had the leather replaced but exterior is original paint.

My favourite Ferrari colour, and still available from the factory today. Never seen a Daytona in that colour before - looks fab!
