the Ferrari market watch thread

I need a 4th and 5th gear set for a 512TR including synchros, so if you know of anywhere that can whip them out for a lot less than $8k Graeme, I'm more than interested.

 

I think the bubble has burst Ian. Especially on Daytona's!!!

 

The Poms have been writing up about the classic car boom for the last few years and its continued.

 

Im in Melbourne at present send me a PM as a reminder and ill follow up with some one who had some gears done for TR last year.

 

Original Ferrari boxes (up to Queen Mother) were works of art. Then they switched to ZF internals, which gave little trouble, apart from 365BB diffs, a Ferrari design fault.

However, there was a definite decline in gearbox quality from the late 80's. A custom gear manufacturer I spoke to at the time said the internals were "made of cheese" compared to earlier cogs.

 

nope, I just spent a month in the UK and talked to a few specialists - they were quite subdued.

Once again, don't confuse asking prices with selling prices.

 

imagine the asking price for a ultra low-km red/tan manual 04 Spider
the market is going nuts

 

All the best people are in Melbourne this weekend.

But I live here................................................

But then again, so does PP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

interesting take on beige interior, as listed.

 

indeed they are. off to the motorclassica party this evening. i see theres a meeting on sunday, i may make this whom convention.

 

Self defeating argument

 

indeed. don't you consider it highly irregular ianb that some vehicles in the uk appear to be shopped around from dealer to dealer without actually selling to an end user? noticed this with some dinos and daytonas over the last two years.

 

Very nice!

 

Interesting, he tried to sell it a few years back for $145k; but obviously still has it.

I never showed him the photo or told him of its "race" history. I doubt if he has any idea

 

Listing has been pulled so I can't see the pic; but I was told the owner re-trimmed the steering wheel in blue leather. Needless to say it was never that was when I sold it to him.

 

Obviously on consignment and a non motivated seller

yeah, then imagine the selling price of $100k

 

Some things are best kept quiet.

Glad you didn't see it mate, was WAY out there!

The guy that I sold the car to was your stereotypical gold chain wearing Greek used car dealer, so I am not surprised.

 

so bitter

 

About time you made up your own jokes, eh?

 

Has this car been mentioned yet?
