Mecum Kissimmee 2026 : White GTO / Yellow Enzo · BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show

  John Summers is the motoring historian.
• 0:02
  He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept
• 0:07
  sports bike rider hailing from California.
• 0:10
  He collects cars and bikes built with plenty of cheap and
• 0:12
  fast and not much reliable.
• 0:15
  On his show, he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new
• 0:18
  and old cars driving motorbikes, motor racing, and motoring travel.
• 0:35
  Good day.
• 0:36
  Good morning, good afternoon.
• 0:38
  It is John Summers the motoring historian.
• 0:40
  I am fresh back, fresh off the plane, well last night from, uh, Floridita and,
• 0:48
  uh, my visit to Meum kiss me 2026 and, uh, the witnessing of the hammering.
• 0:55
  Of the, uh, Bianco spec as, uh, people like to call it, or as you
• 1:01
  and I might think of it, that white Ferrari GTO that John Coombs owned.
• 1:06
  I, I think it should be called the Coons car personally.
• 1:09
  But yeah, so look, you know, the big news, 38 million, the AI told
• 1:15
  me, apparently that was a quote, slightly disappointing result.
• 1:19
  I wondered for who?
• 1:21
  The backdrop here is the 35 was perceived as the floor based on previous values of
• 1:27
  cars, and 75 was perceived as you know.
• 1:31
  Well, that's kind of the top price.
• 1:33
  It's thought that the weather tech guy paid for that lovely silver
• 1:37
  one that apparently I learned this weekend won the Toyota De France.
• 1:41
  So this being an unrestored car, this being a car driven by Salvadori and Hill.
• 1:48
  This coming in the wake of the ein, how Coop doing 140 or a hundred and whatever,
• 1:57
  a hundred thirty two, a hundred forty.
• 1:58
  Way double.
• 2:00
  What Dave McNeal paid for the silver GTO.
• 2:04
  The feeling was that, you know, maybe we could see a hundred.
• 2:08
  And in fact, in conversation with a Mecu employee, it seemed to us that perhaps
• 2:12
  they were thinking it might get there.
• 2:14
  So hence this 38 being a little disappointing.
• 2:18
  It was clear that was nothing was happening when you
• 2:20
  were in the auction hall.
• 2:21
  It was like fucking crickets.
• 2:23
  And, uh, jumping ahead a little bit, but sort of cut into the chase.
• 2:28
  It might almost seem like the guard's changing.
• 2:31
  I, I'm gonna include a link to a film called Safety Fast,
• 2:34
  and it was made in 1965.
• 2:36
  Um, it was filmed at a circuit that the Coombs GTO race stat probably won.
• 2:42
  Erase that and it really shows us how long ago, 1963 or 1965 really were.
• 2:49
  The past is a different country.
• 2:51
  Ladies and Jens and they really do things differently there.
• 2:55
  And you are listening to this at some point after January, 2026 that GTO is
• 3:01
  not getting any younger, it is as old hat as Bill and John and their nice
• 3:08
  shirts and ties and no speed limit on Britain's motorways, if you can
• 3:12
  believe it, there's a shot in the movie of, uh, asked Martin DB four doing.
• 3:16
  20, and this is about road safety.
• 3:19
  The world was a different place then.
• 3:22
  The world of people who feel like post-war sports, racing cars are
• 3:28
  the peak that may be passing.
• 3:31
  And I say that because.
• 3:34
  Watching other Ferraris cross the block earlier, record prices were set for
• 3:40
  turn of the century cars, and later, you know, cars are 20 years old, not
• 3:45
  cars that are nearly 60 years old.
• 3:51
  So what Mecu had was not just the white GTO, but also a complete
• 3:59
  like estate sale of what was called the Backman Family Collection.
• 4:04
  I guess this year at Mecu they did a ton of different collections, you
• 4:08
  know, basically old Coots who passed and you know, you've got the whole of
• 4:13
  their thing to be sold and, and in a sense it forms a wonderful tribute.
• 4:18
  And on the face of it, you might feel like, well, wouldn't the family want
• 4:20
  to keep these things that had been so valuable to the people who collected them?
• 4:25
  But the reality is 40 super low mile Ferraris, this is a massive task to
• 4:33
  maintain and, and psychologically, I think it will be quite hard
• 4:37
  seeing those cars degenerate.
• 4:39
  It would be like watching your parents decompose in front of you
• 4:42
  for the poor guy that auctioned them.
• 4:44
  So I completely understand why.
• 4:47
  You would wanna do an auction like this and, and almost pay tribute to,
• 4:53
  you know, whenever you, I think of, of Meko now I'll think of Phil Backman
• 4:57
  and, and his passion for Ferraris.
• 5:03
  Just a word on Backman himself, right?
• 5:05
  It's all about low mile cars for him.
• 5:07
  When people used to say to him, oh, why don't you drive the cars, Phil?
• 5:11
  He used to be like, you enjoy your Ferrari your way, and I'll enjoy mine my way.
• 5:16
  And I've gotta say, I was thinking me, I'm a driver, aren't I?
• 5:21
  And I'd been saying to people before, I'm pleased that there's
• 5:25
  people like Phil out there.
• 5:26
  'cause if everyone was like me, we just, everything would've the shit driven out
• 5:29
  of him be covered in stone chips and curb wheels and all of that kind of thing.
• 5:34
  And, and where would we be then for preserving for posterity?
• 5:38
  So I was pleased that there were low mile folk like fill around.
• 5:42
  But all the time I'm thinking, how can you have these Ferrari's and not drive them?
• 5:45
  I'll tell you how he was winning karting championships before he
• 5:49
  ever started buying Ferraris.
• 5:51
  The Ferrari just came along later.
• 5:53
  He had a wife who was a lot younger than him and she enjoyed
• 5:56
  Ferrari and that scene as well.
• 5:58
  So I totally get what he was doing and, and where he was going.
• 6:03
  So for me, Phil has a great idea of credibility because he did the racey
• 6:07
  thing when he was younger and this whole Ferrari thing was something
• 6:10
  that he did later in life and, and he brought a real focus to that.
• 6:15
  What was really special about what he did was he built a great
• 6:19
  relationship with basically the special order team at Ferrari.
• 6:22
  And traditionally it's a total asshole to get a special order at Ferrari.
• 6:27
  I mean, one of the things about the white car was that people were
• 6:30
  like, how did it get to be white?
• 6:32
  Must have been because old man Ferrari respected John
• 6:34
  Coombs and, and took his order.
• 6:36
  It traditionally, it was hard to get special order stuff.
• 6:39
  Talking with people who know way more about the Ferrari market now.
• 6:42
  William Ross, David Ions, uh uh, these guys feel like.
• 6:47
  It really is remarkable that the Bachman's established the kind of
• 6:50
  relationship that they did with Ferrari.
• 6:52
  They must have spent a whole shit ton of money to get it done that way.
• 6:56
  But, but more than that, they became part of the way that Ferrari was doing
• 7:01
  business and, and thanks to the way that Meum marketed and sold these
• 7:06
  cars, I think it's very clear that when you see a yellow Ferrari, you're
• 7:09
  probably gonna think of Phil Bachman.
• 7:11
  'cause that's what he did.
• 7:11
  He did everything in in yellow.
• 7:14
  Pictures of him wearing like yellow shirts and, and that kind of stuff.
• 7:17
  Now what that did lead to was some really, really weird color combinations.
• 7:23
  I mean, there is one car particularly that's, uh, yellow with gr lime green.
• 7:29
  Kind of pinstriping and a lime green accents on the interior
• 7:34
  yellow Ferrari prancing horses.
• 7:37
  I mean, it, it kind of hurts the eye just to talk about it.
• 7:40
  Right?
• 7:40
  And later in the auction I watched a, a black and silver version of the
• 7:46
  same Ferrari roll across the block and it hammered for half the price.
• 7:50
  And I don't care about the miles and provenance if the.
• 7:53
  That yellow, it was just too much.
• 7:55
  Now, on some other cars, it worked really well, but for, for that
• 7:59
  particular model, it was, you know, it was kind of too much there.
• 8:03
  Just the word on that yellow, I am partial to yellow.
• 8:06
  I think a butternut yellow on a muscle car works really well.
• 8:09
  I, I think some Ferraris in, in yellow work really well.
• 8:12
  Not my favorite.
• 8:14
  In the form of the road cars, the 5 1 2 i, those in yellow, I don't particularly
• 8:21
  rate those, but for me it's more about the car and how it's the individual
• 8:25
  car and how it sits on the road.
• 8:27
  And, you know, I I, I don't find the kind of garage queen that Phil Buckman loved.
• 8:34
  I don't find that as, as charismatic as something that's been used
• 8:39
  and driven and, and enjoyed.
• 8:41
  So that's why we were there.
• 8:42
  I'd never been to Mecca in Florida before.
• 8:45
  My understanding is four and a half thousand cars were sold.
• 8:49
  So that is 45 Gooding Auctions in over a two week period.
• 8:57
  Amusingly the guys who, who I went with the other MPN guys, so David
• 9:02
  Nyan, Mo Copia, William Ross, Ferrari Marketplace, and of course producer Eric.
• 9:08
  And, and thanks to all three of you by the way, and, and thanks especially to Eric
• 9:12
  for being the glue and, and the energy to, uh, to, to drive all this forward, right?
• 9:17
  What I was struck by was, was their perspective, because I've watched Mecom
• 9:22
  Auctions on tv, but I watched them go through the kind of shock and horror
• 9:27
  that I went through at Barrett Jackson in 2006 where the whole, and the noise
• 9:34
  and the whole thing, it's, it's just too much like a Midwestern cattle auction.
• 9:39
  Because of course, that's kind of what it is.
• 9:41
  And this leads us to this other quite interesting conundrum of are
• 9:47
  prancing black horses best sold at a Midwestern cattle auction?
• 9:52
  I mean, the answer's in the pricing, isn't it?
• 9:54
  Because if they are better sold at Meum, where do the, what my wife calls the past,
• 10:00
  the butter auctions, you know the ones where there's like an English auctioneer
• 10:04
  who banters with the audience and there's nothing as vulgar as a MA creep.
• 10:09
  Keep, uh, some kind of atmosphere in the hall and some kind of intensity
• 10:14
  and theater a about the process.
• 10:16
  The theater's much more subtle if you go to a, a gooding or, or a bons,
• 10:21
  but the theaters there nonetheless.
• 10:23
  Part of it is about talented auctioneers.
• 10:25
  I don't wanna imply that the Midwestern cattle auctioneers are not talented, but.
• 10:30
  Nobody sells more muscle than Meum.
• 10:32
  Nobody.
• 10:33
  That was the tagline.
• 10:34
  And my word, the reason why I've always watched Meum Auctions is because it
• 10:40
  is university for blue chip muscle.
• 10:45
  You're gonna hear the same things over and over again, but that's okay because
• 10:49
  then you really realize what's important.
• 10:52
  You understand what's a cliche and what isn't.
• 10:55
  It actually in enhances your perspective a lot and given the intensity of the
• 11:00
  environment, I've even more respect for, for me, comes in house broadcasting
• 11:04
  team who, who were able to do that day after day for 6, 7, 8 hours because the
• 11:10
  Buckman collection took three hours to cross the block and, and we commentated.
• 11:14
  During it.
• 11:15
  And my word, it was an exhausting experience by the end of it.
• 11:19
  'cause you are listening to what's going on, you're thinking about
• 11:22
  what you are gonna say, and you're listening to what the others on the
• 11:25
  commentary team are, are are saying.
• 11:27
  So I'll include a link to that, uh, Ferrari chat pod.
• 11:32
  Yeah, I mean, I enjoyed the commentating experience.
• 11:35
  I, I feel like yeah, I enjoyed being Murray Walker.
• 11:37
  I love Murray Walker and I enjoyed being the, uh, the commentator.
• 11:41
  So yeah, so Mecom supersize me, my.
• 11:44
  God, the sheer scope of it, it's awesome.
• 11:49
  It's really awesome.
• 11:50
  I like the PT Barnum.
• 11:52
  I enjoy Gooding, but I like the PT Barnum,
• 11:57
  the quality and caliber of muscle that they've got this time.
• 12:01
  I mean, we watched four or five Yanko Camaros in different colors go through.
• 12:09
  We watched four or five.
• 12:11
  Mac one and Boss 3 0 2 Mustangs go through.
• 12:15
  We watched different colors.
• 12:17
  You could have had your pick on 3 46 pack ta, challengers and codas after a bit.
• 12:25
  It's a bit numbing because the final Saturday of, of the, the meek moring,
• 12:29
  you're not just watching car's hammer for a hundred grand all day long.
• 12:34
  They're doing, we, we watched, uh.
• 12:36
  Custom Buick Riviera hammer for 363 grand, and I didn't look closely
• 12:44
  at it, but if you could use it like a modern car, so much more stylish
• 12:48
  than some ridiculous hypercar.
• 12:50
  You know, what would I take to the country club when I win the lottery?
• 12:53
  You know that Riviera.
• 12:55
  That might well have been, uh, have been my thing.
• 13:01
  So before I talk about the back one cars a little more, gonna
• 13:05
  just highlight my three favorite vehicles of, of, of the event, one.
• 13:10
  Miss America eight.
• 13:13
  This is the Garwood hot rod boat that showed England what for?
• 13:20
  When England was winning on the land, Garwood single-handedly
• 13:24
  was winning on the water.
• 13:26
  Indianapolis.
• 13:27
  One year he met Harry Miller and he had Harry Miller build these custom
• 13:32
  V 16 motors for Miss America, right?
• 13:36
  So there's two of them in it with these big Zoomy headers
• 13:40
  on this awesome wooden hull.
• 13:43
  Guys, if you don't know about those kind of boats, the whole deal with
• 13:47
  those kind of boats in that period was they didn't really understand about the
• 13:51
  boat coming up on the plane properly.
• 13:54
  They were.
• 13:55
  Goddamn dangerous and really fast.
• 13:58
  And when you look at them now, it's like Packard Dusenberg
• 14:02
  craftsmanship mixed with a dragster.
• 14:05
  You know, that's really the, the only way to think about them.
• 14:09
  Bloody awesome.
• 14:10
  Love it.
• 14:11
  Was also, um, that Ferrari four 10 that was, uh, driven by Carol Shelby in period.
• 14:20
  It was a pebble a few years ago.
• 14:22
  RM had it.
• 14:23
  Um, and now, you know, meam, uh, uh, are flipping it on again, I, I don't
• 14:27
  understand how you can own a great car like that and of part with it, you know?
• 14:31
  So yeah, that's what I would've left with.
• 14:33
  Um, and I guess the other car, well worth mentioning that was lurking.
• 14:36
  There was the.
• 14:37
  Steve McQueen, you know, used in the movie Lamar Porsche 9 1 7, which
• 14:43
  apparently, you know, I think it's the, the, you may remember the car because
• 14:47
  it was owned by Jerry Seinfeld and he famously received an offer of 20 million
• 14:52
  or 25 million and turned it down.
• 14:54
  And we were talking, you know, over the weekend, the four of us who were
• 14:59
  attending and, and we all agreed that that's really a weird kind of
• 15:02
  a situation, that there's clearly.
• 15:05
  Some elements of the puzzle there that are missing for this story to come out.
• 15:11
  There's a slip, Twix cup and lip right, for it to be public that an offer
• 15:15
  was made at that level and rejected.
• 15:17
  It makes you wonder what the auction house or what's, uh, Jerry Seinfeld thought
• 15:23
  he might be able to get for that car.
• 15:25
  I mean, it's, it's, uh, the whole thing of an offer of that size and
• 15:28
  it just being rejected outright and then not being any kind of a deal.
• 15:33
  Uh, the market was able to see externally.
• 15:38
  So we watched a lot of master cars cross the block, Corvette Chaves, the
• 15:44
  Yanko cabs that I was talking about.
• 15:46
  And what I found myself thinking on the plane on the way home was.
• 15:52
  I wonder if what we're seeing here is sort of stratification
• 15:56
  of, of muscle car prices.
• 15:58
  Um, the same happening with muscle car prices has happened with, you know,
• 16:02
  portion Ferrari prices over the last couple of decades in, in terms of,
• 16:06
  of the very best stuff increasing in value, the mediocre stuff, because
• 16:12
  there's so much volume there, not.
• 16:15
  You know that showing the kind of depreciation that you might expect
• 16:21
  with, you know, just 'cause of the generational shift right there.
• 16:26
  All the people who collected the cars from the twenties
• 16:28
  and thirties are already gone.
• 16:30
  All the people from the fifties and sixties, they're in the
• 16:32
  process of aging out, aren't they?
• 16:35
  So when, uh, I, I recently, my wife has a colleague who's been looking
• 16:39
  at 67 and 68 Camaro convertibles.
• 16:43
  And I happened to look at the Haggerty pricing for these cars and, and you
• 16:48
  know it, that it's down double digit percentages over the last year.
• 16:53
  So you know, clearly just because at Meum Chevelle, LS six convertibles
• 17:02
  were making great money, that doesn't necessarily mean that.
• 17:08
  Uh, three 50.
• 17:09
  Three 50 nicely owned.
• 17:12
  You know, one family kept, you know, one repaint in 1983, kind of a Chevelle.
• 17:19
  Doesn't mean that that is holding up in value.
• 17:21
  I have a feeling that that's what's, what's really, uh, fallen in value.
• 17:26
  So, yeah, so that was, that was interesting that Meum didn't reflect
• 17:30
  what I'd seen outside of the market and what the Haggerty stats might suggest.
• 17:39
  So I said a lot of the stuff that I was wanting to say about Phil Backman
• 17:43
  and, and the nature of his and his wife Martha's collection and collecting.
• 17:48
  I said a lot about what I wanted to say at the top of the show there, but,
• 17:51
  but I guess one of the other, one thing I should add is that he had a special
• 17:56
  relationship with, I can't remember the name of the company, but they're people
• 18:00
  who make custom luggage for Ferraris.
• 18:02
  Now, you know, I guess.
• 18:04
  Crow is meant to be grand tourists, right?
• 18:06
  It's meant to be the kind of car where you can like pack a bag, leap in the car,
• 18:10
  you know, leave England, be in the south of France, buy dinnertime kind of thing.
• 18:15
  You know, you and a significant other.
• 18:17
  But the reality of that quite often is, is your suitcase won't fit properly
• 18:21
  in, in the car now, and therefore it's been a thing in the the world of.
• 18:27
  Of Ferrari at least, that there'd be custom luggage.
• 18:30
  And it's something that's happened really from the very early days
• 18:34
  because of Bachman's personal relationship with this company who
• 18:37
  makes custom luggage for Ferrari.
• 18:39
  All of these cars came with custom luggage sets.
• 18:42
  Now is this the kind of thing that I give a shit about?
• 18:47
  No.
• 18:48
  Is this the kind of thing that if you are participating in the Ferrari community
• 18:54
  in the way that they were judging, going to shows, being invited to Marine to do
• 19:02
  parades in the factory, when a, you know, with other cars, when if you are gonna be
• 19:07
  that kind of super exclusive clientele, it's a great way to differentiate your
• 19:12
  Ferrari is the customer luggage right?
• 19:14
  Um, luggage, which is made particularly for, for that car.
• 19:18
  And maybe that's part of what's going on with, with some of the
• 19:21
  color combinations, which pretty challenging, pretty challenging.
• 19:25
  I did, uh, I did find myself saying, uh, her, to, to people at one point that,
• 19:30
  you know, Florida was definitely the right place to get rid of these cars.
• 19:33
  You know, I don't think, uh, there's, I mean, there's one car particularly, uh, 6
• 19:37
  1 2 Galletti, which, you know, these are not the most, it's not the handsomest.
• 19:43
  Ferrari and uh, that that car had a pretty, I mean, I'll
• 19:49
  include a picture, right?
• 19:50
  Pretty challenging two-one of that car, I mean, people would say, well, you
• 19:54
  could just wrap it if you didn't like it.
• 19:55
  But because it's a special order color, it commands a premium.
• 19:59
  So one of the things that, you know, when does a special order
• 20:02
  color make the car worth more?
• 20:04
  And when is a special order color?
• 20:05
  So Marmite love it or hate it, that it actually hurts the car's value.
• 20:10
  Well.
• 20:11
  Watching these cars cross the block here didn't seem to hurt their value at all.
• 20:15
  It seemed like the exclusivity was all that people were, were were looking for
• 20:22
  $15 million for a Ferrari enza rare color there.
• 20:28
  Backman, yellow, low miles, good provenance, customized, uh,
• 20:33
  Enzo, customized by the factory.
• 20:37
  Lot of things that would make this car at the very tip of the top, and if you were
• 20:42
  gonna show with it now, likely to win against any other Enzo, but $15 million.
• 20:50
  I mean, I don't know what the previous record was for an Enzo.
• 20:53
  I would be stunned if that wasn't a record.
• 20:56
  I'd be very surprised if that wasn't double digits over.
• 21:01
  A price that anybody had paid for an Enzo before.
• 21:05
  There was clearly a bit of territorial pissing going on in, in there was,
• 21:09
  there seemed to be a phone bidder and somebody in the room and there was a lot
• 21:13
  of atmosphere in, in the room as well.
• 21:15
  So, so, you know, and if you're billionaire, not a millionaire.
• 21:19
  Spending 10 million more than you really had in mind to spend.
• 21:24
  Maybe that's something that you, you know, you could be goaded into
• 21:28
  quite easily if you'd had a beer.
• 21:29
  Too many I, I don't know.
• 21:31
  But it was very noticeable that afterwards, uh, FXX came up, which my
• 21:37
  understanding is this is like a track EVO of the Enzo and that only made 6 million.
• 21:44
  I'm gonna say that again.
• 21:45
  Only made 6 million.
• 21:50
  Oh, so he's buying these things.
• 21:52
  David Ian's motor Copia guy.
• 21:54
  He, he thinks money's being laundered.
• 21:58
  He thinks it's money from other countries around the world, perhaps.
• 22:05
  Bachman's earliest car is a 1 6 6 that has a vile body on it, and I'm a vile lover.
• 22:12
  It's not Ali's best effort.
• 22:15
  Certainly the, I think it's touring that did most of the one six sixes
• 22:20
  and, and certainly most one six sixes have arguably more elegant
• 22:24
  body on them than, uh, this one.
• 22:27
  It's also a racing car that didn't really have any patina on it.
• 22:30
  So, um, for me, not the most attractive fifties sports racing Ferrari,
• 22:38
  but I did expect it to make more than more, make more than it did.
• 22:42
  And I did find myself wandering if.
• 22:45
  This was really the right environment for that car.
• 22:48
  That car seemed perhaps to be more at home at Pebble Beach than at Mecom, where, you
• 22:55
  know, just the whole way, if, if you just do that car in terms of its statistics,
• 22:59
  you know, its horsepower and all of that, that does that car grave disservice.
• 23:04
  The way to talk about that car is that Mm, designation and, and think
• 23:09
  about what the mil Emilio was like in the early fifties and what Italy
• 23:13
  was like in the early fifties.
• 23:15
  At that point, you begin to gain some appreciation for, for what that car is.
• 23:20
  But yes, perhaps that was a hint of what was to come with the Bianca
• 23:24
  spec that we talked in the run up to the auction about how the.
• 23:31
  Bachman cars would either create a flywheel or a dampener for the Bianca Spa.
• 23:37
  And, and certainly when that Enzo did 15, uh, I felt like there was a lot of money
• 23:43
  that was ready to be spent and we'd seen a special Vice act, which apparently is like
• 23:48
  lightning, um, version of a Porsche 9 1 8.
• 23:52
  Go for five and a half million the previous day, which seemed to be about at
• 23:56
  least a million, probably two and a half million dollars over what they, those cars
• 24:01
  had had gone for might normally be worth.
• 24:03
  Now apparently it's a paint to sample color, but you know, if,
• 24:07
  again, if it's hideous, like is paint to sample really a a, a bonus?
• 24:12
  It didn't, I mean, I didn't like a 9 1 8 in, in orange, but
• 24:16
  Hell's Bells, somebody did 'cause they paid out of the ass for it.
• 24:19
  Again, this is my thought that I shared at the head of the, the, the show here that
• 24:25
  perhaps there's a generational shift here.
• 24:27
  That the stuff that, um, was made after the turn of the century is,
• 24:32
  has really shown well, the hypercar and, and the pre-war, the, the
• 24:36
  racing cars of the last century.
• 24:38
  Certainly of the first sort of, you know, 25, 30 years after.
• 24:44
  The Second World War, those cars used to be the most valuable staff, and
• 24:48
  now perhaps not, perhaps we've seen, uh, you know, I've seen the torch pass
• 24:54
  from the Olympian cars, the Deusenberg, the as fini, the his Spano Swes.
• 25:00
  I've seen the, the torch pass from those kind of cars to the Ferraris and, and
• 25:05
  sports racing cars of the post-war period.
• 25:08
  And perhaps this.
• 25:09
  Kissy weekend is, is a sign that we're now moving towards a market
• 25:13
  which is driven by hypercar.
• 25:15
  And my, my thoughts strolling back to this awesome wagoner that Eric rented, um,
• 25:20
  which I love far more than I I wanted to.
• 25:22
  But my thought walking back to the old Wagoner there was, wow.
• 25:27
  I can see the day when a McLaren F1 is gonna sell for more than a Ferrari GTO.
• 25:34
  I can see that day coming.
• 25:36
  Thank you.
• 25:37
  Drive through.
