the Ferrari market watch thread

Don't get me started on that subject.

I'm not working till Monday, so for now, it's relax time.
I might actually watch some of the Olympics.

 

Good to see that the bonnet in the mighty 400 is trying to squash your head, my porker is doing the exact same thing, although here is a tip, if you raise the rear spoiler all the way up, it holds....just

 

You would have if he'd been there on the day.

 

Sorry that was an esoteric comment and it was designed to get a rise... It did..enjoy the weekend

 

Only because he didn't live long enough for you to do so.

 

Poor Gilles.

 

No worries! Cheers.

 

Here's a contender for the QLD FCA concours

Check out this Ferrari 365.

Ian?

 

That really is quite disgusting.

 

Forgetting all the vomiting, I remember when these hit the market in the UK caused quite a stir, and even visited the place where they were made and they are well made. Especially seeing they at least used lots of Ferrari parts of which there is probably the asking price in parts in this one.
But to the naysayers isn't replication the best form of flattery.

 

I can't actually tell the difference between that and a real Daytona.

 

Hence your love of a technological nightmare as your drive.

 

Perhaps the difference is that a real one is even uglier than the replica?

 

Been seen at AutoItalia a couple of times, it's horrendous up close. The look of the wheels is achieved by using fiberglass hubcaps......

From the ad:
"has never been registered in Australia. It was imported from the UK a few years ago and parked in a small collection of cars" .

I'm certain I've seen it being driven (on ACT plates) and yep, look what perrm posted a while back.

For a start there are no factory Daytona convertibles in Australia.

Didn't Ian have one?

 

Ian's Daytona went back to the UK

 

Ah, righto.

 

Looked familiar, blue 360 for sale, ex wedding hire car, chassis **2595

2001 Ferrari 360 Spider F1 Auto

Gee the ride would be good on those wheels....

The exterior colour is quite striking. I think I like it?

But I really don't get people who put an ad online for a $100k+ car and they can't even be bothered to do anything in the description except use the basic "file" info that comes with the ad. It is very off-putting.

 

Pre - bubble?

Was a chopper too.

 

Just to help you out Steve

My car was the first RHD spyder conversion, done by Autocraft UK in 1977.

And yes I sold it in 2013, pre-boom, much to PP's amusement. Modified classic Ferraris are extremely hard to sell and I was happy to move it on with a healthy profit.

Wonderful on a sunny day, awful in the rain, the (factory) soft top leaked like a sieve.
