I’d pick the red one then sell it. It’s the most valuable right? if I’m wrong, then in a real world situation where I can just pick one I’d do more than 15 seconds of brain bollocks under westons vintage cider influence, and pick the most valuable one. and then sell it. We get to pick it, and just take it home right? you wern’t very specific with The Rules.
There were no rules, it was just which would you pick given a choice. As regards the value, you’re not wrong about the red Ferrari, it’s number plate alone is probably worth tens of thousands of pounds, if not a hundred or so; any 250 GTO owner would sell family members to have ‘250 GTO’ on their car. As a guide, a ’62 GTO , built for Stirling Moss, but never driven by him, and raced at Le Mans but, IIRC not finishing, recently sold for $32 million…
This one has Jean Alessi’s name on the door, and the owner is Nick Mason.
(Pink Floyd’s drummer, for anyone not familiar with the name…) 😉
And yes, I’d have it for several weeks*, rag the nuts off it, then sell it, and buy the Alfa!
*Probably only on a circuit. Or nice warm evening drives out to a pub…
Dammit, who am I trying to kid! Given the option, it would have to be the GTO, a proper Ferrari racing car that’s road legal; what’s not to like.
I’d still probably scare myself shitless, but you only get to live once, right? 😀
Edit] trail_rat, the Alpha is an 8C, a modern take on a much older Alpha, came out a couple of years ago, I think.
I’ll check.
Right, it was announced in 2006, it’s designed by Alpha, built by Maserati on a production line next to their own GT, the engine is based on a Masser unit, but with lots of tweaking by Alpha, but built by Ferrari…
500 were built, that number could have been sold twice over within 14 days. At £111,600…
