Equipment
A C, P W. 46,300 km from new, current owner Adrian Newey, lately of McLaren and recently lured to Red Bull Racing by buckets of money. The decision to sell is hard to understand as a 288 GTO would have been perfect for commuting between RBR in Switzerland, Scuderia Toro Rosso in Italy and Red Bull in Austria. Adrians monthly pile of Swiss Francs may, however, have been too large to fit the 288 GTOs limited storage room. Belts due for a change.
Market commentary
Reported bid to CHF 350,000 on the block and closed post block at this reported result, a transaction that is difficult to comprehend. Adrian Newey is famous, but not like Michael S. or Eddie I., and the amount paid, particularly with another 288 GTO (with fairly fresh cam belt service, fewer klicks and only one owner) selling later today for $90K less, is very expensive.
