Mecum Kissimmee 2026 to offer 8x Ferrari halo cars

My honest view is these cars of that era are over, they were never on a wall as a poster for a child..if they were then the owners are 70 plus.. that era is over and these cars will carry on depreciating. Poster cars from the 80’s onwards. Brokers and dealers banging the same old song.. I know of a friend who could have bought a 250 SWB for low money and instead bought a 288.. he could not see any beauty in the 250.. one of the main issues is dealers and brokers seem to be hung on the past.. That is why we are curated and Mertit partners and JR at GT motors are leading the field .. live in the past or move with the times. 60’s and 70’s Ferraris are dead.,

 

Thank you for this insightful opinion; at least it is frank and tremendously visionary. I really like Ferraris, but I think the other competitors have also done great things. I like to go against the trends. Driving differently must be amazing.

 

There was this 336 page book by his son released in 2019 that covered more than 50 cars in the collection (as well as non-Ferraris) with each car getting a write up of their history.

I may not be quite as bullish as @msn , so I will also concede that there are plenty of other factors that can motivate one to sell, especially in the non-bluechip-Ferrari corners of the market. For the collection you mention here, many of those cars have spent years being stagnant or under-water... With the bullishness, a rising tide is lift other boats as well, meaning owners of more obscure / less collectible cars like Chirons and Sabres may finally be able to get out of them without incurring the same loss they would have last year (or even last month in some cases).

Opportunistic selling is a very real reason for some to sell.
