My dad had it a few years ago when they were trading just over 200. Now they cant be touched for 400. Only 100 ever produced - nothing beats those vintage F cars. (275 GTS ait bad either, but the 330 was a better driver).

That said I wouldnt mind pedaling a Koenigsegg for a bit.

There are quite a few interesting cars if you let yourself think about it. Personally I think it's more fun to have something that can be used. Porsche 993tt is perfect in that regard. A Ferrari F40, Ferrari 288 GTO would just simply gather dust to no avail. For that reason I will probably never realize the dream of owning such a car. A 288 GTO is probably easier to use on public roads. It has a higher profile tires and higher ground clearance than the modern super cars. A regular Ferrari 328 GTB is probably a better choice. Its performance is more easily available. The same can be said about a Ferrari Dino 246 GT. Do not know if you seen a TV series called The Persuaders. I was not even born when it was first broadcast. Tony Curtis and Roger Moore has a great interaction between each other. Something you do not see very often nowadays. That Dino that Tony Curtis was driving is just too delicious. Too bad it's also just a car that collects dust now.

Autosport Designs recently sold a blue 330 GTS that had been completely refurbished by the factory - to die for!

Our old friend Jimmy the Fellon gave the following advice to someone who wanted this:

Do you own a Brinks truck?
Is it full of $$$$$$$?

GOOD FOR YOU! I wish I could be that way but I know if I had money for 22 cars I'd buy 23!
