Hi Pete, have a question ! I jeep seeing the limited edition Ferrari 70th cars pop up at dealers and regularly at auctions....like this one at DK.
https://www.dkeng.co.uk/ferrari-sales/1131/prestig...
Presumably only the VIP’s of VIP’s get access to these cars ? I thought Ferrari were sensitive to these cars coming back on the market ? Is there an unwritten rule where after a couple of years they can be sold without damaging the relationship ?
Did you get one ? Some of them are stunning....others less so !

Any reason why the 288 GTO?
Seriously?!Like my favourite, despite my fantasy garage on here being an F40, is an F50 and that along with a Murci LP670 SV would be the first two supercars I would buy if I had the money.
Just wondering why the 288GTO first this year unless another £1m car will follow the month later

Yeah you can sell them after so long, if I remember it’s 2 years. The only good one I’ve seen has been David Lee’s GTC4 Lusso in Steve McQueen 250 Lusso specification. Everything else has been pretty shttps://www.dkeng.co.uk/ferrari-sales/1131/prestig...

t. I was offered one but you didn’t get an option of what you got, you literally just got what you got and you had to be happy with it. CharlieH89 said:

The 288GTO is a big money car, far bigger than the ones you mentioned. A very good example 288 will set me back £2.5m, whereas the F40 will be £850k, F50 £1.6m and the Murci about £350k. So all in all I’d say about £2.8m for all 3 as oppose to £2.5m for the GTO.

The thing with these cars is the older they get the more expensive they become, like I’ve got all the new stuff coming but they don’t really excite me as I’ll be waiting 15-20 years for them to turn a big profit, even though I’ll be enjoying them in the meantime. Right now I’m looking at 512TR’s, 328GTS’, 575M manuals. Basically just working my way back through the catalogue, purchasing the cheaper stuff, the sub £200k with a big money drop item every now and again. The amount of fun you get from driving the older stuff too is far greater than the new stuff. Like the Pista is pretty f
king boring because it does the same as pretty much every Supercar out there, unless you’re on the track every day, whereas the 512TR takes time to settle into driving it, you get to experience a real drivers car as oppose to a point and shoot type of car like the Pista.

Not fancy buying a single mirror testarossa just to have one?
Not the worst 'pop up garage' eh?

I’d googled earlier on in the day previous sales and seen an auction where one sold for $2.8m
So is the 288GTO your favourite out of the F40/F50/Enzo?

No, they’re silly money. I think it’ll be the year of a 288GTO
Great - I'm really looking forward to seeing some photos of that. 
My Euromillions garage would have a 288GTO, F40 and F50 in it for sure - I'll just keep dreaming...…….!
But back onto the lower (it's a relative term) value Ferraris there is just something about a manual 456 that I like - I think it's a combination of how they look and having a manual V12.
This is the thread that keeps on giving - thanks Pete.

Funnily enough this is a opinion that Chris Harris shares, If you have listened to his collecting cars podcast he says pretty much the same thing about new supercar metal The thing with these cars is the older they get the more expensive they become, like I’ve got all the new stuff coming but they don’t really excite me as I’ll be waiting 15-20 years for them to turn a big profit, even though I’ll be enjoying them in the meantime.

I've got the mantra of not buying a car or bike that would not massively exceed my abilities with all the safety guards switched off. If you need all the systems armed to help you drive it you just wont enjoy it and if they're not kicking in the car is far more capable than the driver.

Surely Ferrari haven't created something that two dimensional, especially as a special edition ? or is it the same on track, where I guess the older stuff struggles pretty quickly unless suitably prepared ?
