Well, you won’t change my mind. I like to not drive my R at all. Just wash it then pop it back in the gallery space I’ve created for it.  :wink:

On a serious note, £85k increase is crazy. I can remember people buying CSS and saying that it would increase in value. I presume that didn’t happen? Not sure how their value is holding up. I’d love to have a go in one!

You drive your car? How strange! :grin:

The Speciale is one of the finest modern Ferraris and will continue to appreciate and appeals to collectors and drivers so I understand what drives the valuation. But if you want to talk crazy... Porsche produced a special edition 911, it was basically a 997 series Carrera S that the Exclusive Manufaktur (Porsche's customisation department) went to town on - a Sport Classic. I saw it in photographs and it looked alright but then I saw one in the metal and was blown away by how well made it was and just how much attention to detail and consideration went into the design. Beautiful. Dynamically, it was still one up from the bottom of the 911 range in terms of performance but they only made 250 cars. Car new, circa £130k. There is a delivery miles example up for sale at £399k. A 7 year old car. I know the owner and he sold the car to the dealer for £300k and they initially had it up for £495k!

Remember reading the evo review of the Sport Classic, when it was released. A luxurious Carrera with everything clad in leather. But prices went and are mental. Seen a few of AT over the years and just gone mad now.

The Speciale was incredible. Went with them to pick it up.



Unfortunately, it got written off after 7 months hence I know how the value increased by £85k in that period..   :shocked:

Unfortunate. They're trading at around £100k over list although a lot less for LHD. I'd still take a GT3 RS every single time though.  :grin:

This was back in 2015 so the market value was around £335k ish then. They replaced it with Kermit - a rather bright Aventador SV!

His brother has a 991 GT3 RS as well...  :cool:

It's insane, they're not far off that at the moment for a low (read delivery miles) spec. Engine sound is reason alone to buy it. It'd quicken the pulse of a Prius driver. Not possibly in the same way as a petrolhead but still....
