Hi All

No connection with seller, maybe been for sale for a while I guess, but interesting to see them bother with Ebay...

Any comments re the 'first one' produced?

Hi All

Yep, it's one of the first 9 alright.
Note the rear intakes, no targa catches and the Ferrari shift.

I know someone that's been to see it, with a serious view to buy. How come it's not £325k any more?

[ProtoTipo]

Note the ultra narrow seats, too. Compared to the normal production run Stradale.

Actually, that might have put him off. If he sat in it?

I guess because 'ordinary' ones are £300k+ now maybe?

Maybe?
This actual car sold for £249.200 last time.
Other results in the last couple of years at RM have been £221.970 and £237.238
Another feature on this 'pre production car, that I've not seen on 'production' cars, is the rear panel catch 'hook' arrangement. One of the photos on this page shows it on the upper left side of the chassis:

Hi Chris

I had in the back of my mind that one recently sold for £300K+, though when it gets to this level an odd £100k means very little to me as I will never be in that market! (like most of us I guess)

Hi Peter,

I'd put this car on a par with the very best Ferrari Dinos, and that seems to be where they're heading?
Anyhow, this one for sale at Monterey in two weeks time will set the bar?:
