Lovely car.

Chris Evan's purchased it yesterday.

 

Shrewd buy. The new California has just been revealed, should stimulate interest in the original and possibly boost its value.

 

MQ, I doubt very much he purchased it as an investment... the lucky bastard!

 

Anyone fancy a day out?

 

i've driven one of these. a red one , once owned by Bob Hope

i took it to the rolling road to sort the rough running of the new carbs fitted (

 

I don't think it matters how it drives tbh. It would take centre stage in my personal car collection, right next to my D Type.

I suspect the fact it was owned by James Coburn had more to do with it's selling price than anything else.

 

What a beautiful thing

I still can't help but think he's payed an awful lot for it.

Still, it's probably a drop in the ocean for him.

Looks like I'll be hanging round outside his house in the summer to try and catch a glimpse then






Incidentally, he paid more for the car than he did for his new house

 

Why? Who is/was he?

 

Almost 100bhp/litre specific output - not bad at all!!

 

Chris Evan's what purchased it?
