Turbo Love @ First Sight....

Was out in Mayfair last night and this has completely blown my addled brain.
Appreciate a lot of people don't like Gold cars, but I grew up around an Oro gold 68 Maserati Ghibli and Loved my Ceylon gold 3.0 CSL and of course the Citroen SM was popular in gold.
The £ price of this one, is however eye watering !
Your thoughts ladies and gents ?

Skip to 6:45 for the wheels, never seen a lazer beam used to 'paint' before...

Never seen that technique either. Essentially burning the top coat of black off to reveal the underlying gold layer. I’m guessing this results in a flat colour! Very Fancy, wonder if the local wheel refurb co can do this Skip to 6:45 for the wheels, never seen a lazer beam used to 'paint' before...

Wow, Ceylon Gold CSL..... Appreciate a lot of people don't like Gold cars, but I grew up around an Oro gold 68 Maserati Ghibli and Loved my Ceylon gold 3.0 CSL and of course the Citroen SM was popular in gold.
For those of us of a certain age, as you say, gold cars don't have the 'stigma' attached to them that the younger generation have that have grown up in a monochrome era of resale silver/grey/black.
When I was 17 what I wanted most was an Amber Gold 1600E.........but the insurance quotes were unaffordable on 25 quid per week as an apprentice

Amber gold looked amazing on a 1600E! For those of us of a certain age, as you say, gold cars don't have the 'stigma' attached to them that the younger generation have that have grown up in a monochrome era of resale silver/grey/black.

Back to 911's though, if I hadn't already sunk a fortune into the '32, I would be driving oooop north to see if this lovely colour 911 is as good as it looks....

My Late Dads Oro Gold 68 model Ghibli, seen here @ High Beach Epping Forest in circa 1974.
You simply would not believe the heads that this car turned.....
Thank you Garth, much appreciated !
He died aged just 41, in September 1975.
I started trying to find his Ghibli in about 1990. My Mum sold it to a Daytona owning pal of his and his Dad. They sold it to the States in 1976.
But just before Xmas last year, I finally found it in Austria with a dealer. Sadly it was re painted yellow about 10 years ago along with some some poor quality body work. I still have all of its early paper work. The dealer laughably wants £200,000 for it !!! It's £100,000 Tops.
It's actually the 50 th Ghibli built, my Dad's pal Joe Bojalad ordered it in Summer 67 and it was finished in Sept 67. It went straight out to Jo in Pennslevania.

Great story, you must have been elated when you found it even if just to get closure. He died aged just 41, in September 1975.
