Lovely piece of history for someone with lots of cash and a posh heated garage.

[Skylinecrazy]

Is it based on a 348/355 cross breed thing?

Where's PHs local Ferrari expert!

[AndrewW-G]

It sold at auction a few years ago for IIRC approx E195,000

Yes, you're the Ferrari guy.

What chassis was used? extended 355?

based on a very tweaked 348 / 355 chassis, in person its a lot wider and longer than a 348 and very much a non production prototype . . . . . . yet still managed to look ten times better than the Enzo parked next to it, with any luck the next Ferrari stupidocar will look as good as the 288, f40 and f50 did in their day

think it was maybe a wee bit more than 200k but remember its still a bargain when u concider the cost of an enzo n how much rarer it is in comparison

Nope sold in Sothebys sale at the factory in Maranello for 170,000 euro + buyers premium = E195,000

Surely as a prototype it would not be road legal though???

I remember an episode of TG where they had a prototype Jag and had to crush it.

I appreciate it as a piece if history, and would like to see it in the flesh, but the thought of owning it does not appeal to me at all.

[R1chy11]

I read somewhere it was a test mule for the Enzo or something like that. Not 100 percent on that though.

[chrisxr2]

kent its all about the driving, i imagine servicing would be a mixed bag though.

Depends on how developed a prototype it was, and what it was intended for. Jag may well crush their prototypes because they aren't up to volume quality.

I had thought that these pre-pro cars had to be crushed because no tax/duty is paid on their construction with the proviso that the cars are crushed when they reached the end of the development life.

The very definition of a mule in fact.

It's remarkable that Ferrari can make so much money out of what should have been thrown away after development.

I'll bet they didn't "make" any money at all on it!


Andrew - good job too! In Britain at least, we seem to have lost a good deal of "heritage" that way. Pity they just couldnt be kept on by the manufacturers, but rules is rules......

I know I am boring but all I can think is how the hell would you insure that.........
