Ferrari 250 SWB or invest elsewhere ?

[Mosi]

Shall I buy a Ferrari 250 SWB or invest all the cash in millions of packs of those Limited Edition McCoys Pickled Scrumion crisps ?

I'm thinking that due to their limited edition status, that the crisps could be a half decent medium term play?

Has anyone tried them ? they really are pretty good.

Also, has anyone ever driven the Ferrari 250 SWB ? - as if I do get one it would be nice to know if they are any good ?

Thanks esteemed PH Chums

Can't say I've tried the limited edition flavour myself but I am a fan of McCoys they are utterly delicious and I do feel with demand for the limited edition flavour it will most definatly be a quick profit investment. Good luck! Oh yeah the car is quite nice too.

I know that Rocco has his eye on a 250 SWB - he's the man to ask

There is no substitute.

No chance, I traded in goldfish recently, I lost my shirt (and a Ferrari F40 fund at the same time)

I'm guessing you're not particularly serious, but.....

Just look at it. This was at Wilton House and is for sale by Dick Lovett for £2.5m.

What's that P4 worth? £3m? £4m?

Reminds me of this fascinating thread about a 275....

I had a good look around that when I picked up my new Maser at Dick Lovett's a couple of months back, automotive art is that - almost too good to actually drive/use!

I would guess they will be looking for at least £5 million, given it didn't meet reserve at auction last year which I think was $10 million. The most original and known P4 belongs to Lawrence Stroll and he bought that quite a while ago for $9 million.

Just to add if you're talking investment-grade SWBs then only a SEFAC Hot Rod will do.

There's better looking though. 250 GT Lusso is nicer and value has gone up massively in the past few years. I think some of the rarer convertibles will keep going up...

Giraffes are the next big thing to buy and sell on in particular coming up to Xmas

An amazing pet for those living in flats as they can feed them through the window and they do droppings on the annoying people downstairs or who cause disturbances outside!

Less tasty than the crisps allegedly, but am no expert on either!

I suspect one of our always 'about to buy' posters on here will have beaten us all to this investment!

no...it isn't...the Lusso is gorgeous but not a candle against the 250 SWB. Sat in the DL 250 last week. My dream car, they've had offers from over the water but are holding tight. Looks better from the outside, the inside is akin to a 1970's dodgem....tiny.
The one it don't get is the 288 GTO..awful IMO.
