The hammer fell on €33.5million of rare and exotic machinery at RM’s Monaco sale last weekend – the top price achieved was €5.04m for a ’57 Ferrari 625 TRC Spider, one of two built.
“The Porsche 918 Spyder is on the road. Driving trials of the super sports car of the future have progressed a step further with completion of the initial prototypes,” the firm tells us today.
A missive from Ferrari landed today, noting Lizzie (aka HMTQ) has been privileged to watch a bunch of Italian Carabinieri perform on horseback in front of His Majesty Luca of the Montezemolos.
Most attempts at amphibious cars are about as successful as the Aston Martin Rapide. Nice idea but, ultimately, you have to ask yourself ‘why’..?
You know it’s properly wet when the Morgan contingent put their roofs up, but hopefully the Silverstone Classic (20-22 July) will benefit from better weather than yesterday’s media preview.
Legend has it US racing driver Carroll Shelby (RIP) would tape a fifty dollar bill to the sun visor and invite unsuspecting passengers to try and grab it when he demonstrated the original Shelby Cobra’s acceleration off the line.
