The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This car is a gem but is caught up in California's impossible smog program. The car has high performance tubi exhaust headers and new fab speed catalytic converters and will not pass visual California smog. The car must be sold out of California or a California buyer must take the car as-is without a smog certicicate. When I took the car in for the required smog it was running rich and did not pass the CO which was 1.50% .50 over the maximum. The only other issues that I am aware of is some normal wear on the drivers seat bolster and the rams that support the engine compartment lid needs replacing."

This is a great car, the body is perfect no paint chips, door dings, scratches or body issues. The last complete engine out service was performed 3,970 miles ago including; a complete valve job with new valve guides and valves, new water pump and cooling fan unit. The front nose was removed and repainted with new skid plates installed. The black convertible top is finicky like most but does open and close with a litle help. Included is the original tool kit, owners manual and after market car cover. A new set of Toyo proxes tires were installed in March 2013 and are like new.  I have owned the car since 2011 and have always completed any necessary repairs, thought I loved the car but when I was not able to get a California smog certificate I made the decision to sell, way to much drama in the golden state.  The car has after market fab speed catalyic converters which are not California certified. When I took the car in for a recent smog it did not pass the visual and was running rich so was written up as non compliant. I can provide the paper work from the smog referee.  The only issues I am aware of is there are a few wear marks on the seats which is easily refurbished and the rams that support the engine compartment need to be replaced. 


The car has to be sold as-is in California or out of state which would make the smog issue a moot point.  I have copies of all of the completed service, a clear car fax and I am more than willing to answer any questions you may have. This car is super fast and is a blast to drive. The miles are high but the car is a gem, if you are looking for an F355 you will not find a better deal on a car in this condition.  The successful bidder is responsible to pick the car up in San Luis Obispo California. Full payment required within 4 business days of auction close.

1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sells for record $39.8 million

Tue, 04 Feb 2014

This might not come as a shock, but ultra-rare vintage cars are only going to get more expensive as time rolls on, particularly if there's a prancing horse on the car's nose. For example, in 2011, a Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sold for $16.39 million. In February 2012, a 1964 250 GTO sold for nearly $32 million. Later that year, a 1962 250 GTO sold for $35 million. It was the most expensive car ever sold, making last year's 275 GTB/4 NART Spider and its $27.5-million auction price seem like a drop in the platinum-lined bucket. Now, there's been another high-dollar Ferrari sale.
An unrestored, 1957 250 Testa Rossa was reportedly sold for over $39 million, making it the most expensive car ever sold in the United Kingdom. Just for perspective, $39 million is about 28 LaFerraris or roughly 128 F12 Berlinettas. It's not the most expensive car ever sold, but it still represents a huge sum of money for a classic car. Part of the reason for chassis number 0704 - the car pictured above is 0714, which sold for a mere $12.2 million in 2009 - being sold for so much is down to its excellent provenance.
It made its race debut at the 1957 24 Hours of Le Mans, although it failed to finish. Phil Hill and Peter Collins racked up wins with this exact car in Buenos Aires and Sebring, according to the folks at Hemmings. Combining race wins by a former Formula One World Champion with an unrestored example of an extremely rare car (one of just 34 250 Testa Rossas ever built) makes its monumental sale price almost seem reasonable.

Newlyweds crash rented Ferrari into a house

Tue, Apr 19 2016

A newly married couple had a rough wedding day when they crashed their rented Ferrari into a house in Burnley, Lancashire. Lancashire Road Police tweeted a photo on April 17 of a white Ferrari 458 Spider that crashed into a row house. The crash folded the hood nearly in half and completely destroyed the car's front fascia but no one was injured, according to the Daily Mail. The car, worth a cool 240,000 pounds, or 342,500 dollars, is owned by a rental company called Platinum Executive Travel. The son of the company's owner, Aleem Iqbal, made a statement on Twitter after the crash, assuring his tens of thousands of followers that he was not at the wheel of the mangled Ferrari when it went into the wall. "Thanks for all the kind messages," Iqbal tweeted from his personal account. "I wasn't at the wheel and nobody was injured that's the main thing, have had a lot worse in business." In a follow up tweet he stated, "At least people in Burnley will have something to talk about for a few weeks." Iqbal's statement about worse things happening in his business is true, and this is not the first of PET's pricey supercars to be destroyed. Within a five-week period in 2014, arsonists destroyed four of PET's cars worth more than 500,000 pounds or 713,000 dollars. In one attack, a Lamborghini Aventador rented for a wedding was torched outside a house in Luton. Iqbal called that attack a "vile act of jealousy" targeting the family of the newlyweds. Weeks later, two Audi R8 Spyders and a Bentley Flying Spur were firebombed at the PET offices in Yardley. The Daily Mail has contacted Platinum Executive Travel for an official statement about the Ferrari crash, but has not received a response. The driver and passenger of the wrecked Ferrari were not identified.

Chris Harris reviews his personal, two-year-old Ferrari FF [w/video]

Sun, Dec 28 2014

Here's the kind of take you don't get too often. In fact, it hardly ever happens. Fan favorite Chris Harris has wanted a Ferrari FF since he saw it for the first time, but he couldn't get his bank account to comply with his desires. So he waited a couple of years for the price to come down, and found a specimen he could talk himself - and Ferrari Finance - into: a 2012 in Tour de France Blue with tan leather and 6,000 miles for the 'What, me worry?" price of 160,000 pounds ($249K US). Harris said that after putting 45,000 pounds down, his monthly payment is 1,400 ($2,177 US) pounds per month. He also said, "Sometimes you just have to do stupid things because you want to do stupid things." Five months in, Harris has no regrets, and in the beginning of the review he gets to one of the primary points that makes us fall in love with cars that can never be exploited on public roads: They make you feel equal parts badass and beastly and baronial at every speed. Or as Harris puts it, it's a "frankly ridiculous motorcar." In the best way. Check out his always-compelling take in the video.
