Chasing Classic Cars

[conaero]

Anyone watching it on Discovery at present?

Wayne Carini is a bit of a TlT but the cars are good.

Anyway, to the Maserati bit, saw it last night (recorded last Thursday) they had a Maserati Bora with 2500 mile on it, never restored, absolutely factory fresh. They wanted $150k/£90k for it but it did not sell. Could be had for around the £70k mark I recon.

Best I have ever seen and no silly US bumpers and sidemarkers on it, it was left hand drive Euro spec.

Not bad value for a minter at 70k is it??

Lovely car.......

Not bad provided it checked out...........only 2500 miles......gee.......can they verify mileage?

This series has been on all day.........dipped in an out............always knew 95% of USA TV was SH!TE........but the show was so repetitive and too much filler.

Time and time again, cars he put up for sale failed to reach what he wanted and those cars he bid on to buy always went to the max limit he had set himself.

As for the array of gormless, styless un-preposing cars they made and sold in the USA is truly awful!

People paying $250000 for whats called "woodies"......pickups with sheds on their backs.........WTF!

Watching the guys off TG doing their thing in the good ol' US of A is close enough for me.

Did you see the car collection of the Yankee Candle founder?! His was the Bora that he wanted to sell to make space in his 'barn' - it was massive!! He sold Yankee Candle for $500 million!!!!

Not sure if this recent TV, one of the episodes looked to be from 2009, if all part of a series then the Bora would be an old item.

Nice car, but it did have the side markers which means it must have had the bumpers modified as the US versions are ugly (though not as ugly as those they fitted to the Khamsin)
