Lovely looking BB

This caught my attention.

Gorgeous Boxer, by the looks of it. I love the colour combination - Boxers look menacing in dark colours.

Is it just me or is the price of $135,000.00 seem "High"?, for the same money or less doesn't the updated version, the 512TR seem like money better spent?, or possibly the 512M?...Mark

Onno, I agree 100%. The most beatiful colour for a Boxer...just fantastic looking.

A 512M or 512TR does not have anywhere near the status a Berlinetta Boxer has, in my humble opinion of course. There are many more about than the Boxer, its looks are terrible (IMHO), they are difficult cars with lots of problems in both build quality and reliability. But the question is moot anyway: you cannot compare a carburetted Boxer with a 512TR. It is a completely different car, in looks and to drive. I can't imagine anyone considering both, they attract very different people.

$135k is not high for a 512BB in great condition. A good 365BB, which is rarer, will still fetch over $200k in the US. Just last Sunday a nice 365BB was auctioned for €130k inclusive of commission at Maranello, which amounts to US$178k. Normally, the 512BB trades for $20k - $30k less than the 365BB.

My fellow members no need to debate i've had a testarossa as my first F car, truly an awesome car even tho the bloody thing won't start at times, but if you're going to compare the Boxer or the BB to the 512TR there is no match gentlemen totally different but the Boxer wins hands down!
