It Is Not The Fastest Ferrari In The World,

and if I am honest not the prettiest,


it is a 1950 Ferrari 166 Inter Coupe, a one-off model believed to have been the 37th road car to have left the car maker's factory, unlike many other Ferrari's it only boast a 2 litter engine although to be fair it is in a V12 configuration, but even that gives it a top speed of just 105 mph, with a less than impressive 0-60mph time in just under ten seconds,


it's being sold by Ascot-based Talacrest, with boss John Collins describing it as a 'great investment', He sold the car in 1998 for £129,000 but the price of classic Ferrari's has shot through the roof since then, He added: 'the design of this coupe was the collaboration of Alfredo Vignale and the up and coming stylist of the time, Giovanni Michelotti, together they made many special bodies for Ferrari and these cars were loved by connoisseurs, as they continue to be to this day', well if you want the slowest in the pack be quick with the cheque book and have it made out for £750,000, ouch, at that price I think I would prefer a fast one!
