the Ferrari market watch thread

That would be cool to see.

 

Lol, might be on the cards.

 

Nice UK GTB:

1966 275 GTS (chassis 7839) up for auction - https://www.manheim.com.au/passenger-vehicles/7197747/1966-ferrari-275-gts-2d-coup%C3%A9?referringPage=SearchResults

Same car appeared at Dutton previously - https://duttongarage.com/FERRARI-GTS-LHD~28255

 

Gorgeous, interesting that a car like this is listed with Manheim auctions.
Is there a story behind this car?

 

456 manual Bris same auction house:

No books, tools, service history? $50K and this time I'm not joking.

 

Hence going for auction.

 

That car ca easily cost more in bills than it cost to buy. If it were free you might still be upside down by the time its sorted.

 

Read today in evo that in the Ul there are new 911s on dealer lots for 15% discounts. Now were not the Uk and each market is different but the bloom is off the rose for new and near new cars, few if any of which were ever going to be "investments"

Quality older cars that really have something, there's value there. OPf new cars how many really have something special.

 

55,000 klm.....................on a MPH speedo.
Truth in advertising helps sell a car.

 

I dont know about newer cars, but on a BBI converted for the USA the inmporters simply silk screened the speedo to MPH without changing the odo gears, so mileage on those cars was KMS while the speedo read MPH. I know UYk cars supposedly had a different gear in the odo.

Pretty impressive someone got a456 to even 55k kms, if its a true Us spec car that's prob miles, even more imressive.

 

It's staggering that car ended up at Manheim. If it has to be disposed of by public auction, why wouldn't you put it through Donington for example? Which I would have thought would be a more appropriate avenue.

Hope you put a bid in. Love to see that car remain here

 

I love UK 308s. No matter what people are told, they'll still easily pay for an Espada engine rebuild if you want to sort the underside and the body.

Of course this car may have already been sorted. I'd be curious to see underneath. Does anyone know the car?

LHD POS

 

Pfft! Nothing that a wire brush and some animal cunning won't fix...

 

I've also seen a low mileage UK TR that looked like that underneath.

 

Word is it's a stories car, restored by Terzini

 

Not the same car, the one to which you refer is owned by MK.

 

Offfft is that all off a 308? Any pics of what it looked like under the car? I like morbid stuff…

 

Yes, 308 GTB. The suspension as you can see is horrid. Will be nice when I've finished with it in 8 years. The chassis and outer metalwork was surprisingly sound. A legacy of it being waxoiled from new.

As for morbid stuff:

Interesting……RHD converted in Australia

 

A Gold Coast one was smacked heavily a few years ago, but I don't recall it being RHD. I might make an offer...
