Good business man.. he could resell for £400,000 cos it's a Ferrari and rich whites spend money like ritualists
Nah..read again. He bought for £110,000…restoration could cost about £150,000…and with a value of about £250,000 or more, after restoration. That ain’t for profit. It’s just passion. undecided

I thought cars were liabilities like nigerian women.

You can see theres no rule to anything.

Vintage cars are collectors items over there making them quite valuable.

U like here where we have no sense of history and our value system grossly eroded.

some people actually hate electronics because it can be easily manipulated remotely
not all cars are connected to the internet. So this point is mute. Who will like to manually wind down the door windows? Or drive a car without any form of power steering? Not me.

The power of scarcity.

A grain of diamond is far worth more than a gallon of water but you need the water far more than the diamond.

Explorers:
An old Ferrari described as a 'rustbucket' complete with missing seats and holes in the floor has sold for a massive £110,000.

The 1962 250 GTE model, which was originally bought by its owner in 1973 for £800 (£4,500 today) had been in storage in a leaking barn in west Wales for 40 years when it was rediscovered.

Inside, the two front seats are missing and its gearbox, the carpet had deteriorated and the radio and control column was hanging off, leaving wires exposed.

Due to the poor state of the barn it had been kept in, the outside blue body of the car was covered in a combination of rust and lichen.

The original owner had driven the car for 10 years before placing it in storage, where it sat ever since.

"Experts say the new owner could be looking at splashing £150,000 on restoring the 60-year-old car but when it is complete, it could be worth over £250,000."

After restoration, the car will be worth up to a million dollars not $250k has they claimed.

Ferrari is a vintage car. Their value can still appreciate with age.

I tell you...most especially those Saudi billionaires. They will love to acquire the car knowing its already have a story attached to it.
