What is this?

[ditchvisitor]

I saw this a few weeks ago on the M40, was a pretty rubbish day and the roads were wet and salty, certainly cheered up a dreary drive!! Sounded amazing!

Gorgeous, gorgeous car.

Is everyone certain it is genuine and not a convincing replica?

Just a question, not swaying one way or the other............

It looked amazing! The guy driving had his Ipod on and seemed to be enjoying it!! What would it worth? In the millions?

[Rocksteadyeddie]

In my considered opinion, a lot of millions.

Beautiful thing.

3Foo = 3037GT, one of the original Maranello Cons cars, Steel bodied Lusso spec

36 SF = 3709GT, Steel bodied car

[ditchvisitor]

I knew it was worth lots as soon as I saw it and thought it was a 250 of some kind, love the fact it was out on the roads being used!

ThankYou Sir

Cracking spot! What I love about that it that its a multimillion pound car, probably the most expensive car by some margin on the M40 at that time, but unless you're into your cars, it wont turn a single head. Superb.

[Rocksteadyeddie]

Not sure if this is exactly the same one as the M40 car but sold for $4.1 mio nevertheless

That was Chassis 3087GT, which was purchased on behalf of a chap in the Northwest of England . . . . . The quality of the restoration work is absolutely fantastic, the difference between that car and the black California that Chris Evans owned was like the difference between night and day.

However 3087GT is a steel bodied lusso spec road car, 2129GT is an alloy bodied car with significant race history having won the 1960 Tour De France amongst other things and is arguably worth considerably more than 3087GT!

I saw a silver 250SWB in the centre of London some years ago - might be the same one
