Out yesterday in Virginia Water and was treated to a very special sight....Mr Chris Evans driving his black 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, the one that cost €7m last year!!

Fabulous car and so wonderful to see it being driven!!

As I live near him, now that he has moved, I am hoping for a few more sightings..

I didn't get my camera out so apologies..

Fantastic day out. Great array of cars (but all those could be seen in just a morning) It was the people / p|ss taking / general having a laugh who made it what it was biggrin







Also his (so I was told):

Hi Robin - yes that is his as well. It was actually on my drive the other day (thought I would drop that one in, lol wink). It was being run in after a load of work and someone had to drop by to see me. It is beautiful and matches his F40 in the same colour.

Sorry I couldn't chat more but when I came back you were deep in conversation so I left you be.

Certainly was a great day out and the mix of cars was superb. Helped massively by the weather which makes a change. See you at Dunsfold? Mike

One looks like an ISO GT / Bizzarini Stradale, the other is a 61 Ferrari Testarossa / 250 coupe rebody

I followed the California back from Goodwood last year. Wasn't CE driving it, but we saw some fairly serious speeds in pursuit down the Sussex lanes. Great to see the car being used as intended.

Yup, the one to the left is a Bizzarrini 5300 GT Stradale or an ISO Grifo.

The Ferrari is a 61 TR replica (Fantuzzi bodied), based on a 330.
