That Testa Rossa J in your photo and the Baby Bugatti ll are actually 75% the size of the original. If it was 50%, getting in would be impossible!

I went perusing vintage cars - things I really can't afford to buy. And if I can afford to buy it, I probably can't afford to maintain it! But one can dream and peruse. Here are some highlights for you! Our member Sham1 is buying himself a Bugatti. His Bu...
Yes... So nice...

So many Porsches too. Lots of them in Peridot green and these other cool green colors. I never realized I liked light green so much as a car color. The P1800 was quite nice. The bargain looks to be the Lamborghini 350GT. The first car Lamborghini ever mad...
I thought so...

I'm heading to bed and will be telling myself I don't need more beautiful things! And beautiful things need to be very well cared for.

That Bugatti is so nice...
Good idea!

Fortunately, I have mostly good discipline, since I know myself and I know I will one day complain about the running costs... Besides, you never really own these things, you merely take care of it until it goes to the next owner.

seeing a Lamborghini Miura as a child on German Autobahn, on vacation with my parents and brothers. Must have been second half of the 1970ies. It was a yellow one and I was immediately sold. It looked as if it where out of this world. One of the most impr...
Wow! I've never seen one on the road.

Although there is a yellow one that's on the streets of San Francisco that belongs to an acquaintance. Not that I've ever seen it being driven. It's amazing how something can make an impression that we remember decades later.
Yes, it is amazing

I mean, itâs been more than 4 decades ago. Actually almost 5, but that sounds too long ago, makes me too much aware of time flying đ
Hammered at $2.2M plus buyer's premium.

Which I thought was a little low for a DB5 with that provenance. Had I known it was going to go that low, I would've done more research. As I'm a bit of a Sean Connery fan. Admittedly.
Oh, the Miura! But several questionsâŚ

Miura, S, or SV (guessing not an SV due to lack of âeye lashesâ)? Original color? Restoration record? So much to look out for. But not as bad as vintage Porsche Carreras⌠or vintage Rolexđ¤¨? Lovely cars I canât afford in any case. Thanks for sharing. Edit:...
Miura S
By: patrick_y : August 20th, 2022-07:47
Not an original color of the car, but it is an original Lamborghini color. But the car was repainted in a color change sometime in its life. But changed to an official Lamborghini color. Restoration record is impeccable. This one is a Miura S, not the SV....
