To that, good sir, I retort with this:Although in a world in which every manufacturer's SUV looks like each of the others, maybe I should be more appreciative that such individuality existed.
If you put a Land Rover badge on that someone would pay stupid money for it.

But a Pontiac Aztek is a cool car these days.To that, good sir, I retort with this:
I've actually seen one of those in the flesh in Mexico, a drab olive green one and Mein Gott they are fuggerlee...To that, good sir, I retort with this:

You will need to deeply love the DKR interior but such a lot of car.
Koenig would be *the* attention getter at any car meet. Similar car in my paper magazine Classic Car Feb 2024

I can solve this one for you. I was on the photoshoot. Well, both of them, because… it first appeared in Modern Classics circa 2016/2017.You will need to deeply love the DKR interior but such a lot of car.

[rainy day too much time on my hands ] edit: not actually for sale as far as Ii can see.
Tracked via glenmarch where 5 sold for about 100k until 2021 pebble beach $200k
Engine number in magazine photo 1208? matches the auction description. So could be this one. After looking longer than necessary I think I prefer this to the bog-standard. Must be the F40 style wing

so where was Sam driving the car for the Classic Car article? Assumed it might be overseasI can solve this one for you. I was on the photoshoot. Well, both of them, because… it first appeared in Modern Classics circa 2016/2017.
I think you are spot on. Whoever takes this on as a restoration project would be in a world of massive financial pain, unless they are doing the work themselves and have excellent contacts in the trade for the usual jobs that need to be outsourced. On the whole it appears to be a solid base car, but all the little jobs that need doing to bring it to a great condition, rather than a potential rolling restoration candidate would cost a pretty penny and take a lot of time.Yes, I was watching that. I reckon that’s a candidate for some restoration work and wonder if you would double the asking price by the time you’re done(?) … On that basis I thought it reached a very fair price in the auction.
I think the 360 sits in an awkward place, between the ‘form over function’ Fioravanti era and the more modern ‘function over form’ era, F430 onwards. It sits in its own styling world, one that wasn’t universally popular at the time.Can’t understand why this Manual 360 Modena only made just over £40k, and didn’t sell. I did think the auctioneer’s £80-90k landing zone was far too high and perhaps that put people off, or maybe the market is now running out of steam … or should I say cash(?)!
Update: email just received advising that it’s now on a Buy it Now of £75k …
Last week BCA had a Grade 3 - may need a panel painted/wheel refurbed, but mechanically sound - 360 F1 on 47k miles with just three owners and a full service history from Ferrari/specialists for £44.5k Buy-it-Now... Not versed on the Ferrari market, but the auctioneer expecting almost double that for the other car seems a tad optimistic in the current climate... even the £75k BiN seems optimistic vs the BCA car...Can’t understand why this Manual 360 Modena only made just over £40k, and didn’t sell.

Yes, I agree, £75k is too optimistic for a private sale post auction failure ... If I had a spare £75k for a manual 360 this one looks like a really good one:Last week BCA had a Grade 3 - may need a panel painted/wheel refurbed, but mechanically sound - 360 F1 on 47k miles with just three owners and a full service history from Ferrari/specialists for £44.5k Buy-it-Now...
