Z8 for over a quarter of a mil?

fking hell.

Also XJ220 at nearly half a million. Guess I'll never own one then LOL.

how much is a 250gt swb?

[Greg the Fish]

Why on earth has this been moved to car buying? It's not as though many here would be in a position to buy either!

[bloomen]

Can you do anything with a post 80s F1 car other than look at it? I assume you'd need the Ferrari factory present to fire it up.

I never knew Zondas fetched that much. Not exactly a looker to me at least.

I'd give the money to nearest homeless personage instead.

I thought you can still get a Zonda from factory if you wanted to?

Mods more experienced in macrame than motoring?

Wouldn’t be able to use the F1 car. Just look at it.
They cost around £30k a lap to run

You could sit in it. Even fire up that 3-litre V10-powered sensationally sounding beast. Revs to 19k?

Sure, Zonda would make a fine daily.

$800K for a Singer!

TBH This auction just proves a "correction" has been underway for most "ordinary" stuff for a while.


The ex-Schumacher Ferrari would always be big money. Probably not TOO hard to make it work for demos. V10 detuned to say 5-600HP to avoid rebuilds would be plenty for 99.99% of the population to have fun at Silverstone with. If only for the scream of that engine
