Would that be current market value, or cost of maintenance/mods over life of vehicle?
Market value : Ferrrari F355,
Cost of ownership: 944S2 soon to be overtaken by 968.

A couple of weeks ago spent a day with the new GTR. Took it to up in the mountains, was surprisingly tossable on hairpins and switchbacks. Needless to say it ate up straights like nobody's business, and I can see why so many people have gotten into trouble already... In summary, the car really grew on me that day, considering all it does for the price tag.
Also have driven nearly every version of modern Porsche excluding the GT3 / Turbo variants of the 911. Oddly enough, a 987 Boxster S in the Appalachians on a warm sunny day is still about the most fun I have ever had in a car...
Now, if I can only get the 968 up to snuff...

Got that beat. My dad's friend still owns the car. It is the 1967 Ferrari 206 SP prototpye that was 'before' the Ferrari 312PB. The link is below for the 312PB, but the car I am talking about is a one-off, and has been fully restored, beyond mint and should be in the Ferrari mesuem in Maranello. Estimated valued being one in the world? Well north of $4 million USD.
Damian: The owner is a very dear friend of the family. Should you ever want to see this car, let me know and Ill tell you the historic events that he goes to. The car is simply amazing, and the link doesn't do it justice.

Rob, the 312PB may be my favorite Ferrari; the list of drivers was totally amazing, it was basically a two seat F1 car-but have you driven it? Cavallino currently combines the 206S and 206SP for a total of 15, with the value range of 2-3.3 million each.

hI ROLEX,
THE 312PB, was really fantastic racer, although the estimated value at 4,000,000 usd would be very optimistic to say the least.Last November i was at Maranello ,to take delivery of a bespoke 599
for the same owner of the Bugatti, and i was given a personal tour of the Ferrari Museum, but until then the car you speak about was not there. Of course it could have been introduced after that
However all cars in the Museum , do belong to Ferrari EXCEPT a very fine collection belonging to a Mr.
Bernie Ecclestone , which was shown for the first time in Bahrain during the F1 RACE , last month.
i am aware of an auction at the Ferrari museum which is sceduled very soon.Is the car you are talking about be auctioned?
