The $27.5m Ferrari

[6th.replicant]

A 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4*S NART Spyder, styled by Scaglietti, sold at auction last weekend for $27.5m, all of which - less the auction house's commission, presumably - went to charity.

Here's a nicely shot 1080p vid about the car's back story: click

What will the numerologists say I wonder?

That is a nice little video, ta.

Has Chris Evans been car shopping again?

That darn pesky number ...

Has Chris Evans been car shopping again?

Not this time; the 275 Spyder was bought by Canadian fashion mogul Lawrence Stroll, it seems he likes to collect (and race) cars...

And if anyone's wondering what happened to Steve McQueen's crashed 275 Spyder, mentioned in the vid, he had it rebuilt - oof!!

Who'd have thought that selling a few frocks could be so lucrative

I guess it helps if the frocks' labels say 'Tommy Hilfiger' or 'Ralph Lauren'.

I have to admit, while I have a strong dislike for Ferrari and find most of their cars pretty ugly, this and the 250s were gorgeous cars.

If you like these, look at the 330 P4 in the hilfigger bloke link above. That's a very pretty car.
