I determined long ago that if I win the lottery one day I’m going to set up an art competition called “The annual Chandler prize for Art-that-looks-specifically-like-the-fucking-stuff-it’s-supposed-to-look-like”.
Abstract artists (aka fingerpainting chimps) need not apply.
Expensive daily driver. This is what quantitative easing does for you – all that paper has to find a home.
Yep. It’ll be just an investment for whoever buys it.
I got the old chap one of those about 20 years ago. I have no idea where it is now. Probably in a cupboard somewhere or gathering dust on top of some books.
Funny, now that you mention it, I got one when I was about 7 (that would have been 1958), Dinky of course, it was always better than Matchbox. It was a horrible green, not British racing green. If I’d kept it it would probably have been worth about 50 million now – Zuma Rands of course.
Enough for a beer, then?
Barely, and then you’d have to be quick.
I was passing half way between hicktown and hillsville not so long ago and saw a Bond era Aston sitting in a farmer’s shed gathering dust.
I should have stopped and asked him if he wanted me to tow it away so he’d have more room for his other cars.
A mate of mine nearly picked up an old HZ Holden Ute in good condition for 2k before the seller’s grandson jumped in waving his arms up and down like a maniac.
Bugger!
For an over rated Fiat ? No thanks…….I don’t get why people love unreliable Italian rubbish.

1957 Ferrari 335 Sport Scaglietti. Up for auction.
What’s the fifty mil for? The Car? The petrol for a 200 mile cruise? Or the cost of changing the bulbs in the headlights?
That’d be 50 mil each. Great art don’t come cheap.
Pfft. You obviously don’t know what art is.

63 million dollars.
It’s not art if it actually does something.
It’s me peasant blood, Bo.
