Classic Car News: Buy A Bargain Ferrari
What could be better than bunking off school and spending the day cruising around in someone else’s Ferrari 250GT Spyder? Well that is exactly what Ferris Bueller (played by Matthew Broderick), and his friends did in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Usually bunking off school involves lying low, but there is nothing discreet about driving around in a Ferrari Spyder – even if it is only a replica.
Ferrari-Daytona.co.uk reported that the late 80s saw classic car values rocket, with Daytona values going through the roof. The surge in value led to the creation of affordable cars, known as replicas. In the original Miami Vice, Detective Sonny Crockett drove a midnight black Ferrari Daytona Spyder, which complemented his low key, high living identity. What most viewers didn’t realise at the time is that the Daytona was in fact a kit replica based on a 1980 Chevrolet Corvette C3 chassis. It just goes to show that the Ferrari-shaped body panels were all it took to give the car its reputable reputation.
Miami Vice spurred a new craze of Daytona’s with McBurnie replica Daytonas (as seen in the TV show) leading the way. As one of the most expensive replicas, the Daytona convertibles have been collected through the years and are a great addition to anyone’s garage, and the best part is that they come with an affordable price tag.
The RAC website has reported that “Paramount commissioned the red Ferrari 250GT Spyder replica for the film because the original cars were too rare and expensive to be crashed as the script demanded”. The replica that was used in the 1986 film is expected to fetch between £30,000 and £40,000 at auction, which goes to show they might not be the real deal but they could save you a fortune.
ClassicCarsForSale.co.uk have reported that a genuine 1963 Ferrrari 250GT Spyder is being sold by Coys Auctioneers for £298,500, which will cost far more than the replica that Ferris Bueller and his friends drove around in while bunking off school, which is apparently in a “ready-to-drive” condition, according to the RAC website.
The replica will be going under the hammer at Bonhams Collectors Motor Cars and Automobilia auction on April 19th 2010 at the RAF Museum, Hendon, North London.
