Ferrari 250 Tour de France: Time For Tea?

Read Harris's drive of that Ferrari? Good, now you can watch him drive it

---

If you've read Harris's drive story on the Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France then you'll know he was rather enamoured by it. Beautiful looks, the Ferrari 3.0-litre V12 and a glorious racing history will do that to you.

Now we have a vid of Chris with the car and Max Girardo from RM Auctions. Don't look here for a sideways spectacular, it was a short pre-sale drive granted by a very generous owner. What you will get is that delicious V12, further detail on the car's provenance and a very excitable Harris.

The car goes under the hammer on Monday at RM's London sale with an estimate of £4.1-5.2 million. Worth it? Watch this and then decide!

Enjoy the vid.

Firstly I take my hat off to whoever let Chris drive it. However having said that of course I presume there were some strict instructions and so it seemed a bit pedestrian. I didn't expect drifting but I didn't get to hear the engine enough near the top end.

This is going to sound harsh but I preferred Chris' old 2CV video. Now look at this

Now that looks a lot more fun. 9 mins 20 in and the slow mo ... heh.

Actually I still think that is the best shot video as well, excellent work.
