Don't know, don't care. It was only when they started making the 360 that Ferraris became big enough for me to sit in comfortably !

Most expensive Mondial equal in value to cheapest 360. Hmmm…

It's all about risk appetite innit ? You are risk-averse. Have a look back at my car buying history. I'm...... less so ;)

Used to see one of these on my walk to school. Gutted when he got rid of it. Until I saw the white A610 he'd replaced it with 8-)

It's also spent 15 years with most of it's internals (certainly not the gearbox or diffs) not seeing any oil or oil flow.

I'm sure that'll be mechanically perfect....

A chap I know has two GTAs, and a Testarossa. His daily is a £500 Ocatvia running on veg oil.

I saw him at a car event at last weekend - guess which car he brought ? :lol:

Surely cars like that are just a ticking time bomb of massive bills. Add on the fact that any mileage will dent it's price.

Are RS4's that rare/special to warrant that kind of storage kudos?

It really annoys me that a lovely example of an E500 is on the wrong sized tyres!!!

Am curious as to what it will sell for as generally I think they are overpriced.

The A2 derv came with some randoms on and after reading some reviews I can only put their name down to perverse humour; https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Joyroad/Sport-RX6.htm

If the tyres gives @V8Granite concerns, I'll take both of them. Lovely to my eyes.
