I know a lot of people rag on BaT for high prices but I think in general they’re representative of the market. I’ve seen super expensive cars on there but also quite a few bargains too
I'd be VERY surprised if Car Trek's challenge could be repeated this side of the pond. We value Ferraris far more than consumerist Americans do. We know that value cannot always be counted in cash, but good stuff always keeps its value. Saying that... my greatest regret is not buying a Ferrari Daytona for £1500 from the side of a pub in Tonypandy, back when I was in my early twenties some 40+ years ago!
That would have been a story and a half. Was angry my dad didn’t buy a 944 when they were £800, you must have been fuming knowing what they were worth later
£1,500 would probably be the cheapest price paid for a Daytona ever. My Dad paid £7,500 for what is now mine in 1976. He looked at over 20 and brought the least rusty one.

I love the 456gt
They are good cars just one for £35,000 probably won't be unless you are very very lucky.
Great article! I don't know if BaT auctions are any indication, but US$50,000 is not unknown. And Maseratis... Some are going US$20,000-$30,000.

If you are willing to do so, I'll trade a new Camry for your Daytona lol
Thank you for the offer, which I have considered but the Daytona is not for sale at any price :-)
I found a replica F1 car
