    Cool F40 prototype as well.. the one with the 5 vents, different rear window and the sliding side windows.
    Probably the one used for the brochures...

    Very nice stuff... love the yellow Daytona and the 512 racer.

    hope this auction goes better than the last one... people seemed to be critical of the first one for a variety of reasons...

    i stand corrected...

    i was kinda meaning a combination of all 3 items... but you are right.. alot had those sliding windows (which i think are REALLY cool... too bad they werent US approved - or did some sneak in?)

    I thought it was only the first 50 produced had those in addition the the prototypes. Not veer off topic here...

    Anyway should be very interesting to see what some of these cars bring. The 599 should be interesting, while it has a lot of miles and an undesirable color scheme, the market is so tight on the 599's right now that tit may not matter very much. Additionally perhaps the tour will add some value to it.

    WOW...!

    Congrats to RM Auctions (2 hours W of Toronto, Ontario) for a great list.

    Although I would be bidding with Monopoly Money (lol!) I would love to bid on any of these horses although...

    The '92 F40 has 25,700 KM for $280,000 EU...way too much for very high mileage.

    The '86 328 GTS is $60,000 EU??? does it have solid gold pistons??

    I'll take any of the F1 cars...the '97 seems like a great deal at $1,000,000 EU, I wonder how much the '06 is fetching $2-3 mil?

    I got the Ferrari Leggenda E Passione DVD edition in the mail but haven't had time to look at it. Anyone get one of these and poke through the DVD?

    I agree! But for collectability I would prefer a lower mileage car.

    How many miles on the 2006 248 F1? 5000? If you buy it you recieve a trip to Fiorano and a track day, along with 1 year support from Corse Clienti.

    Sounds like a deal to me! Anyone want to go splits with me? :D

    In my opinion, it doesn't matter that it's superfast or slow, it's a Ferrari, and a part of Ferrari's history. If someone's a real enthusiast, he can appreciate a car like this more than nowadays Ferraris.
    It's like if i must own a Bugatti, i would take an old Atlantic, not a Veyron.
