Wayne, Yes it looked the same except without the white circles and numbers. The driver was Nick Longi from New York who had a Hilfiger Logo across his back. I was told by the crew that the car is owned by Hilfiger. | ||

Just saw another 512M replica in the FML. This 1 has a Daytona V12, asking $375k. BTW the 1995 512M is really monikered as the F512M | ||

Damn, that F40 is incredible. How often does your old man let you take it out for a drive/day? | ||

Thanks again for the history ! The 512 doesnt have a brilliant career ! But then when a car looks this good and sounds as good as it does who cares ? ! | ||

A real, no-stories 512 M/S is worth somewhere between $1-2 million. This car, however is a different animal altogether. 512 S chassis #1034 was crashed and destroyed in 1970. In 1994, a new car was rebuilt around the original engine by Bob Houghton for a Mr. Heuberger. The car changed hands several times in the mid-90's and was refused entry into the Ferrari Shell Historic Challenge in 1996. The car is considered to be a replica. | ||

Probably a car with no story or racing successes. More info would be nice. Still, the 512M is only a track car that need to be trailered. The Enzo can be driven anywhere. | ||

Sorry, The link didn't work at my end and I assumed you were refeerring to a 1995 512 M... Keep in mind the ENZO is the new kid on the block | ||

Junior Member Username: Amenasce Post Number: 175 Registered: 10-2001 |

As far as I know, here in the U.S. a 512 M sells for about 169K - 175K.. Only 75 of these were allowed in the U.S. out of 500 models.. I would think it would worth alot here in the states.. I think I would still get the ENZO before I get a TR..And I am a big Fan of the TR, Especially the 512 M.... | ||
