Before digital Jerry, looks a little over-exposed? Nice picture really.

What colour would you like ??

While we are on the subject of Ferraris look at this one It's probably the rarest one in existence.

I wonder, what should be the price of the car pictured above? This stunning vehicle is one of only four produced 250 GT Speciale bodied by Pininfarina in 1956 and has come to light after many years of storage. It was first registered in Portugal and used only occasionally. Due to the political revolution which the country suffered in the 1970s the car was hidden in a safe place and hasn´t been brought out till very recent. This history has been told by the present owner of the car, who is also the first owner since the fifties... Though all this sounds almost unreal, fact is that the car appears in lovely original condition. The engine backfired all the time and all the car has all over an incredible odour due to the old original (?!) gasoline still in the tank. No matter the first appearance upon closer inspection the fabulous Ferrari has many paint imperfections, small dents and minor broken parts, including the Ferrari badge on the boot. Even seeing all this details, the story given is hardly believable.

It will be interesting to see the auction results

The third one in light blue, or the normal Ferrari red.

My Dad used to own the Peugeot 404, I still remember the family trips in it.
Beautiful reliable car. Good old memories.

I used to drive a company Peugeot 203 van when I was doing my apprenticeship at Consolidated Neon in the fifties.
It was a great little thingy.
Much nicer than the 1928 Pontiac that was my daily.
The 203 was even registered.
