Suns shining today - have had to get the Herald out of the back of the garage. Nice chance to take a picture..... Herald goes to her new home today. Anyone want to buy a Bentley - I need a 4 pot esprit !!

[Mark Blanchard]

Yes, it's like the Gulf colours but has a thin white strip too.

Block's sort of done that idea to death now, hasn't he?

You can see similar antics on a Saturday night at any suburban trading estate nowadays.

One would think the tires have to pop after that amount of time, no?

bit sad this one 

[silverfrost]

The owner must be gutted.   Always been my favorite Ferrari the F40.  Crazy thing is that piece of burnt metal is probably still worth an absolute fortune, as ferrari thermal issues go this is a major one!  Very sad for the car and the owner.

Very sad indeed. Ever since seeing one drive into Brooklands just in front of me, I've taken a real liking to the F40... It's replaced the Testarossa as my favorite Ferrari (I blame Miami Vice for that).

Why would anyone park up a Miura for almost 30 years?

Not really a barn find though is it? From what he says, the family always knew it was parked in their garage gathering dust. They just never got round to getting it back on the road until now. The fact that it's now worth well into 7 figures is probably just a coincidence...

Joking aside it's a lovely thing and sounds fantastic, I wonder if they really will keep it? If not, I bet the new owner will have it restored to perfection, which would be a shame.

I'm fairly sure that this car was featured on Chasing Classic Cars. Wayne Carini tried to buy it but was turned down.

Well remembered -  thought I'd seen the garage before

Been sitting since 1992 according to this

They may of left it in the barn for 30 years which is wrong, but they have got now got some decent retirement funds in the pot i bet 

[Mark Blanchard]

Yes, that'll need some serious dough to get working nicely.  When prices go up, so do the parts and labour.
