Where can we find out WHAT exactly is for sale and at what price, or do we all just bowl up on the day?

probably also disposing of stock from thier St Albans branch that they have sold to Marenello. Owens used to sell Lotus and Noble out of it - have Maranello taken over those franchise as well? or is it strictly Ferrari and Maserati?

I drove past the St Albans branch during the week and it was full of BMW and Porsche with a few Masearti. When did Owens sell it to Maranello? Wonder if it was soemthing to do with the new workshops in St Albans being needed after the Egham workshop fire? Just a supposition, not soemthing I know anything about. What will Maranello do with it?

Somebody must have put in an appearance, or did they pick the wrong weekend, ie, the Rugby and Pi**ing with rain !

Yes, went along car hunting for Jason360... however the only car that he was interested in, and that we specifically went along to check out, had a "SOLD" sticker when we got there!... so much for the theory that they can't shift these cars at the moment

Anyway the trip was made absolutely worthwhile due to the fact that there was a metallic bronze/copper McLaren F1 hidden away at the back of the showroom. Stunning! It is now covered with saliva

No, we didn't ask if it was for sale or the price.

back in June i was fortunate enough to climb over a late 1996 car which went for just under £700k i understand.
