RM Auctions just sold a nice 250 GTE for £123,000 (by my reckoning approx $250,000). Now I know of a very nice P/F Coupe (traditionally worth a good 20% more than a GTE) that sold just six months ago for £110,000, are values really increasing that quickly?? Or was this just the knock on effect of the Ecclestone collection at the RM auction?

Just been going through the full RM results & a P/F Coupe went for £156,450 ($326,150)

Wow, and I passed on a PF Coupe earlier this year at Euro 115k which I thought was over priced.

What did the 86 F1 Turbo go for? Guide price was £170K - £200K.

Sold........£178,800.

That's a lot of horsepower for the money. 851 BHP I think, but I bet the annual servicing costs are another £178K

If you are looking for a Ferrari F1 car to drive at Corsa Clienti events, this one would be about the bottom of the list. Hence the price.

Anyone know what happened to the 288 GTO at Coys? I heard it did not break any records.

 

[alsaautomotive]

Not sure on Coys, but there was one at RM @ £229,088 (TBH I don't know if that's good value or not - bit modern for me )

As mid 80's F1 was dominated by McLaren, Lotus & Williams, (Senna, Piquet, Prost & Mansell) I would think that Ferrari's F1 drivers felt the same way about this particular car. It's history is unimpressive, 5 races and a 3rd placed finish.

Strange though, that the 250 GTE - albeit one that looked immaculate from the pictures, went for more than the 330 GTC, which admittedly looked less tidy. That does seem very high for a GTE. Indeed, I would say unsustainably so. At least they aren't likely to be chopped up for horrible GTO replicas at that price.

Ahhh! those were the days, Johansson, Alboreto and Berger - they never seemed to quite do it, but it was fun to watch.

To be fair, things did start to get better in the late 80's /early 90's when Prost, Mansell, Berger and Alesi joined Ferrari, at least they started winning races even if the Constructor's championship didn't come until after Schuey joined.

Any idea what the 330 GTC went for ?
