I thought some DJ in Britain paid something like 14M for a 1961 California Spyder last year....am I wrong?
Anyway I'd buy it but we're a little short this month. The 757 needs a redo and we're thinking of just scrapping it and getting a new BBJ. |

It should be interesting to see the outcome but it probably won't make the same money as the black 57.
What are these like to drive? Has anyone ever driven one? I would imagine they would be like tractors at lower speeds but coming to life as you press on. I always liked the gate shift on the old Ferraris. That lockout lever looks hand made.
