[GTS 08]

what do we think about his purchase of the GTO 250 for 12 mil?

 

[ENZ525]

Absolutely stunning...
But he is selling it,
HR Owen sent me this back in Dec '09...




not sure if it is still for sale, but they did not accept my offer

 

[Andyk]

You did say 12 million......It is lovely though.

 

[Emtee]

Yes he is selling (sold?) his ex James Coburn 250 California, but he's just bought a GTO.

 

[Andyk]

Would be great to have 12 million burning a hole in your pocket

Only trouble is, it may make you look like this...



On second thoughts...that's not really a bad look

 

[Andyk]

Like it.......He does looks a dick..but then he can look like whatever he likes with his money.

 

[Emtee]

Can't believe they focused on that bloke in the foreground when there are those six lovelies in the background.

 

[safrane]

Why oh why does he paint them all white????

 

[ENZ525]

Not only are they painted white...but I believe the interior also gets re-trimmed in white leather

Not wrong there...I will say that he is a decent chap where his cars are concerned and it seems he will take anyone into his garag to have a look and didn't he auction a drive in them on one of the charity days.

 

[GTS 08]

I'm talking about his new purchase - a day or so ago.

he sold that one I think.

Altho i saw him in the California and spoke to him briefly at Brooklands last year , he's a decent chap and not quite the ******** he sometimes appears on the media, he obviously like JC has what he thinks is an entertaining persona which he has to maintain , the white thing is obviously a personal thing for him and altho money isn't an issue wonder whether they have been wrapped rather than repainted never thought to look too closely when i saw the car


regards loz

 

[ENZ525]

I'm a big fan, always try to listen to his radio show in the car to/from an airport!
used to look fwd to his company on the Friday all request show...usually stuck in traffic somewhere on the m25.
I know for a fact they are not wrapped Loz, been lucky enough to see at least one of his cars in the workshop at a local indy only 2 1/2 miles from me.

Enzo.

Wondered whether the repaint might affect the future value provenance of the car, even tho it would hopefully have been done to the highest standards, when your talking values that high to lose 5% or 10% is an awful lot of money .

Possibly, but I think this would be countered by the fact it has had a celebrity owner...
The work he has done is to a very high standard, I would say even better than when it left the factory originally,

regards loz

Not at all...it is, and has always been, to the very highest of standards ( as we all know :-O ),
I am just saying that Mr E takes his cars to a well respected outfit that prepares classic fezzas to a very very very high standard

Regards,

Enzo.

I think they get painted white so not to clash with his red hair.....
