We always get pretty stoked when we find a R100 note tucked into the back pocket of a pair of shorts we haven’t worn in ages. To the bar with haste, we say.
Now imagine you’re an automobile auction house and a call comes in about some rusted up old cars on a provincial farm. Your spider senses start to tingle, and together with a colleague you set off to follow this lead. This from Gizmag:
As Lamoure and Novikoff moved around the farm, they found more and more cars under makeshift structures, often open to the elements and almost all of them were rare … extremely rare…
When we arrived here, we found ourselves overcome with emotion. Probably much like Lord Carrington and Howard Carter, on being the first person for centuries to enter Tutankhamun’s tomb.
In amongst all these gems they found a Ferrari 250 GT California, buried under a pile of old papers and automobile magazine. That’s the Ferrari on our left in the first picture.
The Ferrari is said to be valued in the region of €10 million and will be auctioned on February 6. In total the auction house found 60 rare, vintage cars on the farm and should make themselves a pretty penny punting them to fans next month.
Makes Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather look like a bit of a rookie, doesn’t it?
