    Having seen it as well, my guess was 60k! (Honest!). I couldn't fault the bodywork, nicely retrimmed, one or two minor detail faults (no mousehair and the tyres looked old) but overall a very good one and with an interesting history. I think the vendor would have settled for less but a good result for both buyer and seller I would say.

    I did see a great lime green caddy there as well.... absolutely packed around the WD stage. Stirling moss was on as I squeezed by.

    I believe the entire line, 365, 400, 400i & 412, especially the 5-speed manual cars, is on the verge of joining the price spiral of the 1960s cars. They are the last of the Enzo-era Colombo V-12s, they are beautiful, they are useful, they are 1960s rare and knowledgeble Ferrari buyers are beginning to appreciate that.

    I was surprised how well the Green Cadi was appreciated at the show - everybody loved it and not one bad comment. I was a bit upset because the drivers door glass was badly scratched on the first day, probably by a camera or ring because the Wheeler Dealer cars weren't roped off but they sorted this for Saturday and Sunday (well, kind of sorted if you classify some plastic red/white tape strung between some poles placed around the cars as being sorted !)

    Luckily Mike offered to replace the glass for me - he is genuinely one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

    I agree with the future for these cars. I offered a little background earlier this morning on another post.

    We are excited to have one of these great cars and will look forward to driving her!

    I watched the auction with great interest - it was a nice (but not perfect car) which was bought by a guy on a phone taking bidding instructions from someone else.

    The bigger part of me wanted the car to go cheap so I could make it #3 in the garage while the lesser part was happy that it went for that price for one simple reason - It vindicated my decision to buy one last year and allowed me to smile smugly at my other half who said at the time (and I quote):-

    "Why do you want another one of those ?? - it's exactly the same as the 400"

    Women eh ?

    Funny, I had the same comment from mine when I decided to rescue another Ercoupe!
    Along with other remarks about the fact that my other 400's engine rebuild is not finished yet! How many projects does a man need? Sorry we couldn't meet at the NEC Russ.

    Less than my wifes' shoe and purse collection. But I do like the way she looks! And what good are those cool shoes and purses if you're stepping out of a Prius?

    I also took a peek at this car.........very nice, not the best, but I would happily find space for it..........and suffer the wrath of the lady wife.
    Auction estimate was 45 to 55,000 Sterling; so sold at 60 PLUS premium PLUS VAT on the premium...... starts to put the car pricing into perspective. Glad I bought my 400i (for restoration) when I did, earlier this year.

    Restoration is going well, less rust than expected, and quite pleased with the quality of original build.......although a few more drain holes here and there would have given the car a better chance of survival.
