18/12 - Bonhams, The Ferrari sale 2004, MANY FERRARIS

[sameerrao]

I would have thought the 250 SWB would be the moxt expensive car in that lot but it may not have sold ....

Thanks for the pics

[TT]

The SWB was a conversion / replica, not an original one, that's why...

it actually sold for "only" 200'000 CHF, that's some 170'000 USD

Actually that would be a good exotic "beater" considering that the real thing costs $1.5 MM.

Some of these conversions are so real that they can fool experts - E.g. Faure GTO. Instead of spending $6MM on the real thing spend $200K on a realistic fake and drive it pedal to the metal

Just in case you wanted more details:



And since I was scanning that page:

TT, did those 328's, 512BB's and the Daytona's found a buyer? If they were sold, how much did the new lucky owners have to pay? Just to know how many years I have to save up my money to buy one of those beauties

The 308GTS didn't sell, the estimated price was around 40'000 CHF or 26'000 €
the red 512BBi (early 1974 model) sold for 66'000 CHF (43'000 €)
the black one, a 1984 model didn't sell and it was estimated at 100'000 CHF (65'000 €)
the 328GTB went for 50'000 CHF (32'500 €)
the 328GTS didn't sel and was estimated around 50'000 CHF (32'000 €)
the Daytonas... the red one went for 148'000 CHF (96'000 €), the yellow one for 205'000 CHF (133'000 €)
The Daytona Spider BTW, didn't sell. It was estimated at around 700'000 CHF or 455'000 € and the Competizione one hit 310'000 CHF (200'000 €)

Thanks. I have a lot of saving to do if I want to own one of those
Only the 308's and 328's are within reasonable boundaries. Why oh why are all the extremely hot cars so expensive...

Also 400i and 412 are pretty cheap.. around 35'000 CHF

yeah I thought the same thing, thats roughly what a new 360 Modena F1 costs currently over here. However not that many were made and I've yet to here of a GTO in Australia.

BTW, I can't believe you've never been to Gstaad before! I've gone there one time... and I saw a couple of Bentleys and a Testarossa... and it was five or six years ago! You have to go more often... and take more pics!!!

Well probably to spot good cars you have to go in the summer but of course I prefer to go to the mountain during winter (powersteer ).. today I had to go again to buy that damn pullover I saw and the only nice car there was an E55 AMG (already seen Saturday)... there was also a Saab wich went straight in a corner and down a hill into somebody's backyard!

Definitely I will go there this summer to spot some exotics

[raphaelws]

I think daytona Spider and F40, are the best!!

[1zippo1]

Wow, just think about what a treasure they're keeping on such a small surface. If that building burns down I'll probably cry :cry:

Seriously, some very nice pics and some Ferrari's that I never heard of before, like the Ferrari 500 Superfast. You know what would be cool, that Top Gear would make one complete show about Ferrari. The well known models but also the lesser famous ones.

Nice pics TT!!
