Default Evans spends £12m on Fezza

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/772...2m-Ferrari.html

The Radio 2 DJ, who took over from Terry Wogan as the station's breakfast host, spent £12m on the vintage Ferrari 250 GT.

The 44-year-old, who is known for his admiration of expensive sports cars, sold three Ferraris from his collection to pay for the 1963 model, the Sun claimed.

The car cost £6,000 when it was first sold 47 years ago.

Evans posted a picture of his latest motor on Twitter with the caption: "The new one has arrived."

Only 36 of the 174mph top speed racing cars were made. The car has five manual gears and does zero to 60 in 6.1 seconds.

Typical newspaper reporters who know bugger all about Ferraris. I don't like that body style for the 250GTO. I much prefer his white (I presume he sold that) 250GT SWB. Gorgeous car in white and pale blue interior.
