Tilford cricket pitch? lovely part of the world, always worth a visit to their summer fete as a great array of cars turn up to show, this year a very orange metro 6r4 last year a 90's le mans car (toyota i think) and a bugatti type 35....

Classic 50s and 60s Ferrari are just soooo special. Can't help to post 5:

The guy bought this TR for USD 2.3M ... and raced it. Gulp!


I once thought a 330 / 365 GTC to be ugly. It's a matter of learning to look how beautifull it actually is.


Same here. This is an iron block 2.4 V6 Dino FIAT.


Hugenholz 275 Drogo racer.


A recreation ... but this TR has a hint of TDF on it. A Twyman kit.

Chris ... where's the vid?

Ugly car.
Not the prettiest 250 IMO, but still miles from ugly
Yes, there are others far more attractive. The back end on this, and the front grill, look all wrong to me.
I have to say I fully agree with you. It's definitely not one of Ferrari's most handsome efforts IMO.

More 50s Ferarri:

Ferrari 500 Mondial SL Competizione? ERRA SD500 recreation with a 2 litre Alfa.


The outer dimensions seem a bit bigger than the original 1,5M car and the inside is without patina. Regs say this ERRA 500SD is on the road since 1970.


Yours for 300-400K. Tidy car!

I was at the event and it sold last night for £4.3M (plus 12% buyer's commission, with VAT on top)......

Seem to recall it was £4.35m. Still, what's £50k?

Total cost will be circa £5.84m

Watched the auction live on the internet last night -different planet the people and cars there I'm afraid. But a fascinating few hours where I should have been doing something else. Rather liked the Race Spec Cobra.
Was interested to know the commission - 12%?
But why the VAT?

Talking in £50K increments is so vulgar.....(maybe I should have rounded up then?)

The Auction really took it's time and getting the bids out of people was hard work. Max certainly earned his money last night.

The Cobra was one of my favourites. The car was absolutely stunning and almost like new, even though some of the purists said it didn't have much patina to show it's race heritage.
