I wouldn't want one of those at any price and people are flogging or trying to flog them at £20K. That's the problem with a lot of classics - they are old cars that are shit to drive. However, it's fashionable at the moment so I will return when the scenesters have found something else to interest them and the bubble has burst.

Barry - I remember us talking about the CV8 when we were in that pub outside Hastings a few years back. I'd rather have a Tiger.
Funnily enough, my fish-tank smashing friend owned what was considered an immaculate Tiger. Terrible to drive, cramped and not a great looker IMHO. Those rear plugs too...

I'm looking forward to Mondial prices dropping to sensible levels again, at which point a T - coupé or cabrio' will be in my sights; it's more or less a 2+2 348, but with 'proper' Ferrari shape rear lights!

Apparently.. or maybe allegedly.. we saw a significant outflow of classics from the UK during the slump when the £ was pittance and the market dead

I wonder if rarity plays a part
