Pic of the day

[Ewan]

There’s a dark blue 400 about to be for at Forza 288. Currently at Emblem being prepared.

Always loved the 365/400 shape, I think Ewan told me that the later 412 was a slightly different shape which is only really noticeable if seen alongside the earlier model.

This blue manual with cream interior would be perfect

Sky blue and cream is my favourite colour combo.

 

[Ewan]

I thought that, so bought a blue one. But then I saw the light, so repainted it to this:

Is that claret? The colour used by the Queen? Looks smart!

 

[Ewan]

It’s called Prugna. A colour introduced by Ferrari in 1980 and perfect on the 400.

Plum, I presume!

Same colour as they used on the Alfa 155.
a friend has one in the same colour.

Stunning colour, Ewan! Do the collars match the cuffs?!

Ferrari 400s used to be cheap. Not really now.

Still cheap for a front engined V12 Ferrari, just not silly cheap

 

[Ewan]

The most recent three sold (over the last two weeks) went for £125k, £70k, and £40k. Manual gearbox cars are worth more than autos, and the older cars more than the later ones. Obviously condition is the other factor.
As V12 Ferrari’s go, they are still quite “cheap” to buy. But they are expensive to restore, so it’s most sensible to buy the best example available. Don’t do what I did!

£125k must have been absolute stunner

 

[Ewan]

All three appeared to be remarkably similar, and all were very nice! But at auction, if two people battle it out, up it goes! The cheapest one was an absolute steal.

You can just about make out my neighbour’s Ghibli!

We’re the only two in the area with Masers. Im about to go for a spin in the GTS

Prugna is a funny colour it suits some cars and not others, looks good on the 400 but I hate it on the Alfa 155 (much to the annoyance of the 155 owners who all seem to love it)
