From what I can tell, it fits after the 212. 2715 cc engine, compared to 2562 cc in the 212. Most likely a million other differences, but they are beyond me!
dear lord, this photo was taken in the early 90s? that silver 275GTB was at the same place as it is now! hahahaha
It actually looks like a reasonably compact engine! Or have I just got my scale all wrong? Was this engine used in any other Ferrari's of the time?
I think s/n 09041 (the Comp featured in Octane) is more attractive. The differences (even between what is ostensibly the same model) are rather stark, which reinforces the notion that these cars are all individual and hand-built. The rear looks much more minimalist than the standard 275 (bumpers are missing, but still), and the front has the foglights, as opposed to the small indicators of the 'standard' model. I love the quote about the 275s: 'The 275 is the car Ferrari thought you needed; The Daytona is the car it thought you wanted.'
its in holland atm as it stated. this is one i'll save up and buy in the next 30 years. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
This is the other Australian 250 SWB of Dean Smoker # 3551. I think it's still here. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
what price do you think the 250SWB will be around? the LWB last time i checked was around the 400k euro mark. what (the more recent cars) do you think will worth a bit, lets say in 30 years? i'm putting some money on the 550. but then the older 512 is more expensive, what's the story with that?
It's a pretty big engine; but not as big as the monstor in the back of a 4.75 ltr F50. The engine was ONLY used in the 275 GTB/4; but the Daytona was similar; but larger capacity. It's probably streching it to call the Daytona engine similar in retrospect.
superleggera just means lightweight in Italian and I thought Touring built those, I refuse to check in a book, that's cheating !!
Man you reckon those 2 comps are different. I'll see if I can find a photo of the "1965 GTO" of Preston Henn. If you have driven a 275 and a Daytona, you would REALLY appreciate that quote. The Daytona is a truck in comparison to a 275 GTB.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU BUY A RESTORED ONE!!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
The light green 250 SWB sold at Auction in Australia in 1990 for $1.4 million Australian. It would be a $2 million dollar plus car today. Ferrari hasn't made a collectible production car, and I mean AAA+ COLLECTIBLE, since the mid 1960's.
i don't think there is any original miura left. the original ones are proboblly all burnt and become salvaged parts.
They are coming out of the woodwork now the values are way up. Bonhams have a totally original very late production SV for sale right now.
what price is he asking? not that i'll buy one. are you going to wait a few year for the price to drop then have one to keep the F50 company?
No idea, it's a private treaty sale. I haven't decided what comes after the F50 yet. A bit of learning to be done there before I think about moving on.
i've came across a few miuras in need of restoration. can pick up one for about $35k. parts would be exteremly expensive tho.
if i can get rid of all the galvanised pipe i have piling up, i'll be interested get a bashed up miura and restore it slowly. but when i have the money, realistically i'll proboblly put that in to the 550 tho
So was this 275 at the Grand Prix this year? The one that I took a photo of Jim Richards pushing? Image Unavailable, Please Login
