However it's Gorgeous

My all time favourite Ferrari.

If I ever had the money, this is the car I would buy. It seems a travesty that in twenty five years, it has only covered 1000 miles.

I'd soon put some mileage on it for them!

Within five years that will be worth over £1.5m

Not a bad annualised return if you have £700K kicking around and somewhere entirely environmentally controlled to keep it.

Think of it as a piece of art and £700K seems quite reasonable.

This is where I'm a little concerned. I can't think of another car worth 7 figures where so many exist and it also has very little competition history. Don't see this really finding a level much above where it is now.

272 built.

I'd guess more than a few have been stuffed.

Ultra low mileage, celebrity owner.

When the economy gets going again and Ralph carks it (which admittedly may be longer than 5 years) that will be a big money car I reckon.

It is criminal an engineering beauty like that not being driven - a bit like Angelina Jolie becoming a nun.

That's exactly why I'd be a rubbish car investor, even if I had the money. The temptation to actually drive the thing would be too great.

Is it wrong that a supporter of new or newer cars wants the C reg over the Enzo above it?

I don't get 288 GTOs. No idea why, I just don't.

Not sure Ralph really adds anything to the value, Chris Evens is in a similar standing famous and he doesn't manage to add anything, it's only icons and greats that add anything and usually only if it's relevant.

272 of these built means that about 200 are probably still kicking about - it's never, ever been a vaguely cheap car so it should survive well. Many were bought for collections so most are extremely low mileage at any rate. Similarly F40s with a 1000 miles on do come up occasionally and they're only at half this level. I think the F40 will be the car to match the GTO, rather than the GTO heading up further.

It's a great car but too "common" to really hit the mega exotica tag. I'll take a more realistically priced one though and just enjoy driving the thing

I just lost all respect for Ralph after I saw his new "Big Pony" range in some rubbish advert on TV. I actually fond most of his stuff a little "pony and trap"

Global fashion magnate vs. English radio DJ...scratchchin not sure I agree that they're at a similar level of fame....and personally I'd rather be finding cashmere fluff than ginger pubes down the seat cracks!!

I think a bigger reason Chris Evans wouldn't make as good a return is that he paints them all white! eek

I'm sorry but that is a waste - and I'm not talking about a waste of money:

1000 miles from new!! Thats probably done more harm than good.

Okay its lovely, sexy, a design icon / classic - I could sit and look at it all day... but for Pete's sake!!! Drive it a bit!! If youve got the money to buy it, then youve got the money to keep it mint.
