As many of you will know Mr Evans lives in Ascot, he announced on the Radio this morning that until very recently, he has been looking after a DBR1 for approximately 6 months, don't suppose anyone saw it did they. I don't imagine for 1 second it was actually driven anywhere.

He drives a lot of stuff to the BBC, but can't say I've seen it.

Certainly seen the 288 GTO, Muira, MC12, 599 GTO, F12 and others in the past.

Would not be at all surprised, I remember reading that Chris has a good relationship with (I think his name is) John Collins who owns Talacrest.

ETA: Just seen that Chris is selling his F40 AND his 288!

I wonder what he is looking to finance this time, I seem to recall he made about 8 mil when he sold his 250.

I have it on good authority that Chris buys a lot of Ferraris, registers them is his name and keeps them in a storage facility for a few months, then sells them for more than he paid, as they now have him as a previous owner.

Clever man.

I've not seen him out and about in it - so he's not driving it on the roads wink

Is he still in the same place, or has he moved? He was talking on twitter recently and implied he was packing to move.
