Car Spotting: What You Saw Recently! - Part 2

[Eudemon]

How much value would you say is in that pic with those two?

[Milli]

Pretty sure AMR have "borrowed" our colours. :hmmm:

 

They did. But no turbo on it. Remember.

How much value would you say is in that pic with those two?

 

Maybe £25-30m.

Surprising little for the 250 GT Lusso at the back, a silver example (perhaps the very same one) went up for auction at the Goodwood Revival in 2015 with an estimate between £1.4m - 1.8m, but is most likely worth over £2m nowadays. Considering it is probably the most elegant Ferrari ever designed, has the V12, and has the 250 name, I think that's a bit of a bargain and will be worth 8 figures or more very soon.

 

That Ferrari 250 GTO appears to be chassis number 4153gt which has quite a past.... it won the Tour De France Automobile in 1964 with Lucien Bianchi behind the wheel. He was Jules Bianchi's Grand-Uncle, and unfortunately they both died due to injuries sustained while racing. You can find more information on the car here: Ferrari 250 GTO - The Autobigraphy of 4153 GT

 

I can't find any information about 4153GT ever being sold or how much it'd be worth, but considering the racing heritage it has, I'd imagine it'd go for over £25-30m in today's market. Chassis 5111GT sold for £30m-ish in 2013, and with the exponential price inflation on 250 GTOs, I imagine this is worth more now, even if it isn't in Rosso Corsa.

 

That said, I do tend to watch a lot of the big classic auctions when I get the time, and the market doesn't seem to be very buoyant at the moment, It probably isn't the best time to be putting something to valuable up for sale.

Wow @Microphone, thanks for the exceptional history lesson on that particular car.

[hassan1995]

I heard somewhere in the show that a not so good condition 250 sold for £25 million, so I'd imagine the better more looked after ones could go for £35 million and over.

The only car that got my attention in that post was the Dacia :nods: Google seems to think it's based on the Logan? Called the STCC? But not much information on it tbh. It looks awesome.

[Rassva]

It is actually a Saab 9-3, Saab Sweden and Dacia had some sort of agreement and made that

It is indeed, stunning car I absolutely love them.

[Eudemon]

Yeah it doesn't get a lot of love that model and I do get why this is. It's a bit much and a tad chubby in places, but it is still a real looker.

[RobikV3]

The Z8 interior ruined it for me, the gauges precisely

Nice shots @Beav and @F12Berlinetta. :cool: Not a big fan of that copper colour on the 720S though. :mhmm:

Car meet at Manchester Airport this morning, we've had torrential rain for the past 36 hours so I think it put off a lot of people from bringing the cars, that and there's a big car event on in Cheshire this weekend too that I'm hoping to go to tomorrow if I get the time.

 

Apologies for the lighting on some of these, my heart wasn't really in it and the lighting was a bit awkward under the Concorde.

 

 

 

Anyone spot anything suspicious with this GT3RS?

[Ryzza5]

Petrol station up around the twisties. I was on a bike ride with 2 buddies.

 

 

[Eudemon]

Quite a sweet selection on display there.

[grandstand]

I am going to be spending too much time looking through this lot. It looks like everything you can imagine has been seen. :loveit:

2 weeks ago I was out for a few drinks with and a few others, we herd a loud noise outside that founded very angry and fruity, with us having finished our drinks we decided to have a look on the way to the next pub...

Guys had just parked it there with the LED's left on. It deserves an award for "Worse numberplate placement".

 

And I blame Stella for the pose... :lol:

[Eudemon]

That is a really bad place for a numberplate. Strangely cool pic though. :cool:
