Hi guys,

I saw this stunning classic today, cheating a bit I know but it was totally unexpected.. I came across a Ferrari/Lambo service centre in Sheffield by complete random, I never would have thought this beauty would be parked outside..
What is it? 612 Scag eat your heart out!! How much are they worth? Are they rare?













Thanks for looking
Adam

Looks like a 250 GTE to me. Edited to add - spread is £60k to a faintly optimistic £150k.

Rare? relatively because many of them were converted to 250 GTO replicas.

Beautiful? Oh yes

Aye, thats Millbrooke Cars in Attercliffe. Thats where I take the 355 for anything. Top set of chaps they are, highly recommend them.

I think its just a varyation of the 250 GT LWB, but was designed by someone slightly different. One of those things like the 4 door 456 GTs or whatever. The guy who owns that car has quite a collection apparently.

Thought you'd have known about that place though.

If you can find one for £60k then I would be gob smacked ... and very interested!

Yep, 250 GTE. Absolutely beautiful cars. This one is stunning...

As a previous poster said, too many of them have been sacrificed as the basis of GTO replicas.

Ah ha! I will keep my eyes peeled for a F355 spyder then smile Now I know it's there I will make odd visit to see if they have anything else a bit special. They seemed like good lads though, I had a brief chat with them about the 250 GTE, they didn't fancy swapping it for my Suzuki Swift lol.
Stunning car though, never seen one before. I loved the interior too, it looked gorgeous..

Thanks

Shocking, and I thought were a Ferrari nut! Or enough to know its Ferrari SpIder and Lambo SpYder!

I saw that car when it was first dropped off and then also all underneath when it was up on the ramps. It was spotless. I hope it does get used and not just left in a garage as a personal museum piece. Its been there a while though now. It was probably November time it was dropped off I think.
