A cheap 177

[Simpo Two]

Following on from my cheap DB9 thread, I bring you a 177 starting at just £30K...

There is a catch though...

Interesting….. essentially a 1:1 scale model. Considering a 1:18 model can fetch £1k I guess it isn’t bad value! Nice living room furniture!

Interesting, normally these sorts of things are just cut up or ‘archived’ deep within the OEM’s warehouses.

I recall the model, but does anyone know who built the show car? Was it the same one that was half unveiled in Paris?

A 177 was showing up at our cars and coffee.



Later on he had it wrapped:

The angle change between door and rear wing makes it look like a bad respray... or maybe it was!

Yes, it looks that way. I took that pic with my Iphone. The paint was perfect. That particular venue had these mercury vapor street lights. It was actually still very early in the morning and the street lights were casting shadows while daybreak was occurring.

You can see the spots from the lights on the rear quarter.
