    Grandpa Sells Ferrari 250 GTO For “R95k” Now Worth As Much As R1 Billion

    The Ferrari 250 GTO is the pinnacle of the automotive world in terms of value so if you have one you will generally hold on to it as long as possible.

    Some examples have sold for over $70 million and there is no sign of it slowing down either now that it is legally considered a work of art.

    Go back to 1967 (1968) where an owner of a service facility in Springfields Massachusets bought one for $6,800 (approx. R95k). It was not just any example either is it was right-hand drive, it had not been in any major accidents, it was an ex Surtees car and was considered one of the best examples out there.

    Instead of keeping the car he decided to sell the special prancing horse for $9500* (approx. R130k) so he could buy a Lamborghini Miura.

    Fast forward and the values are simply astronomical so much so that this guy does not even want to talk about the Ferrari 250 GTO.

    *This does not take inflation into account but would be around $70,000 in today’s money.

    • First time seeing the new Bentley Bentayga S in the metal and wow it is striking.

Those 22" wheels look superb, especially in this spec.

Starts from R4,695,000 and that gets you a twin-turbo V8 delivering 542 hp (404 kW) and 770 Nm of torque.

    • #MercedesAMGMonday done right with the brutal AMG GT Black Series recently snapped by @matts_cars_za for @amg_driving_academy_za 😎

This is the first time a GT Black Series has been shot on track in SA and potentially the first time one has posed with the slightly less hardcore AMG GT R Pro.

    • It has been quite some time since this Koenigsegg CCXR was seen in South Africa but it made an appearance today and @thecarscene_ managed to snap it in Cedar, Fourways.

As far as we know, there are only 2 Eggs in SA. This one and an orange CCX in East London which has also not been seen in quite some time.

    • #WideWednesday showing off this bold Urus sporting the Novitec Esteso widebody and aero kit done by @race1_ 

It also packs a full Supersprint exhaust so you will certainly hear it before you see it coming.

    • Possibly the first privately-owned Mercedes-AMG GT3 in South Africa showed up at Dezzi Raceway in KZN for its first local drive.
