    I just had a thought... imagine if this car was bought by some western-country-hating middle-eastern oil baron... and he bought it just so he could make a youtube video of it being crushed...

    @petersterncan: That would be the perfect ending. Such a bodhisattva or sufi would liberate many from their earthly bondage by carnal automotive desire. Namaste'.

    I've seen a lot of car's in my day, but this one has all the thing's that makes gearhead's like me tick. I'll never have the dollar's to afford one, but I can still think about owning one in my dream's. [/ex copy editor]

    As incredible as an original Testa Rossa is, I can't see the logic in choosing this over a Type 35 Bugatti. I just can't.

    Spec-freaking-tacular.


    I need this, a 300 SLR and a D-type Jag. I'll put them all on display, running, in my living room. People can stop by to ogle them, and to goose the throttle, if you're nice.


    I'm betting this goes for 12 million US, so I'll need to throw some junk up on ebay so I'll have enough scratch to my bid on.

    Nice car. I'd rather have a Chaparral personally: [www.biggolddog.com]

    But this is one of those cars that people have irrational emotions about.

    I can understand that. Sometimes you gotta ride that train.

    This looks a little too perfect. I could probably fix that in about five miles. The TR's a certainly up there for all-time gorgeousness.

    Aw, come on. I can get a locomotive for $2.5 million, pay $35k a year for fuel and get a million miles out of it before an overhaul.

    @Vintage Racer is out taking pictures: I'm in love with Ferrari and I have seen and heard a TR in anger, albeit at vintage events.


    Pass the pipe, please.

    This just means the 330TRI/LM sold for $9.275 mil last year is now worth far more than $10 mil. B/c as nice as the presentation of this beautiful car is, it's second fiddle the last front-engined car to win Le Mans.
