One of only four built in RHD, I think some publicity shots feature a metallic green one. Peter Wyngarde drove a yellow RHD example (very briefly, sadly) in an episode of 'Department S', a blink and you'll miss it appearance.So if we take a random ten from this page how would they have performed in investment terms? My guess would be:
Ferrari 275. Was £3,250. Now £?
Ghibili Spyder Was £6,750 Now £?
1972 Fiat Dino Spyder. Was £4,350. Now £75k
1965 Sunbeam Tiger. Was £595. Now £70k
1971 Alfa Montreal. Was £3,875. Now £60k
1972 Interceptor. Was £5,950. Now £50k
1972 V12 E Type . Was £3,195. Now £40k
1972 RS1600. Was £1,295. Now £30k
1970 S3 Lotus 7. Was £850. Now £20k
1972 Gilbern Invader. Was £1,675. Now £10k
Any idea which episode of Dept S the Ghibli was in ?
In late 75 / 76, i regularly used to see a silver ? Ghibli SS Spyder parken in Cambden Passage, Islington. Sure it had a red trim. Whether it was a factory colour i dont know, but it looked incredible parked up amongst the often seen poridge. The only other nice car i recall seeing parked nearby, was Chris Farlowes absolutly filthy heap of an Interceptor ( S.2 i think ) parked outside his militaria shop “ Call To Arms” and the lovely M reg lilac V-12 2+2 E - Type of my Dads pal Eddie Kenton.

Not off hand, I'll have a look though when I get a chance.In late 75 / 76, i regularly used to see a silver ? Ghibli SS Spyder parken in Cambden Passage, Islington. Sure it had a red trim.

I don't know if he owned the Ghibli but I know he owned at least two Bentley S2 Continental Flying Spurs, both of which he used in Depsrtment S and later in Jason King!

I can't wait to see more photos of this project as they are great cars.
Here is one that I spotted on the road in France when I joined the Fougere classic car rally in 2017........

SNAP! Do I get to keep it now? I didn't get the plate but almost certainly the same car, Le Mans Classic 2016.
