"Exterior colour : Other"

A rare left hand drive one too.

Shhh. You're not allowed to know the colour unless your qualifications check out

yes it doesn't give you a lot of confidence from the seller....

Surely that would help to know which way the headlights are set up? It’s US located so I guess relevant as it could be exported?

Have i read this bit correctly?
'Over ten F1’s sit alongside the owner’s Ferrari 250 GTO'

really? I didn't think one person owned 10, i thought the highest was about 5.

The Sultan owned 11 at last count. The highest is definitely not 5.

Didn't realise it was so easy to buy such an exotic and rare car. I shall soon be in touch when I get my inheritance from my distant uncle, never knew my dad had a brother. Now to get these fees transferred...

Seems it's for sale here http://www.euro-classics.com/cars-available.htm

When my old uncle pops his clogs and my 100bn Zim Dollars turn up, I'll be on the blower to them...

I would think the following is more typical of an F1 sale. Gives the chassis and engine numbers. People online like to track who owns which F1(s) so from the info in the Bonham's listing you could probably find out who owns it now.

Are they not officially listed as LHD whenever you have to declare either LHD or RHD, owing to the left hand door being the primary entry point for the driver, and the right-hand gearshift, as on a regular LHD car?

The most credible source of these things suggests they originally had ten cars, of which two have subsequently been sold and one written off, leaving seven cars in Brunei.

No I don’t think so. They mean there are 10 GTO owners who now also own an F1

£11m seems cheap, I thought these were much more expensive now

[birdcage]

Trade bids from McLaren in two years would be £50

Knight International have a silver car for sale for $20m. They posted about it on Linkedin (of all places) today.

"at an unbelievably low price" so "no risky Broker-chain"

Oh well that's alright then.......

They make it sound just like a classic Ebay scam ad !
