The Jaguar C-X75 from SPECTRE is going on sale at auction. It's only a stunt car but is possibly one of the only drivable and buyable ones out there because Jaguar never put it into production.


This car was blue not long ago, offered for sale through Kaaimans International. Guessing someone bought it, painted it back to the movie color, and is trying to flip it back.

Surprisingly, this isn't the only up for sale. Chassis #007 is available as well.

Some quick Googling seems to indicate they're Volk Racing C Ultra wheels.

They're awful.
 
Familiar with the phrase "the blind leading the blind"? Well, yeah...that.

How anyone can find those even the least bit attractive is just baffling. They're actually worse than TE37s, which is no simple task.
 
I think theyre entirely car specific. They do look a little out of place on that red Nissan, but some cars can pull off three spokes. Some of the old Saabs had them from the factory, and the first gen Dodge Viper had three spokes.
 
Maybe the closest you can get to trying out GT4's infamous Minolta 88C-V, 1 of 2 ex-Toyota 88Cs is available from 1988 (the other was also a Minolta car). Has Le Mans, Daytona, & Sebring history, ran by Dan Gurney in IMSA, and piloted by "Ex-Stefan Johansson, Paolo Barilla, Tiff Needell, Juan Manuel Fangio II". Around $1.2m.

For street fun, it's interesting to see how the manual gearbox can significantly alter the market value for some vehicles these days such as the LP640 & this 599 GTB which has an asking price above some GTOs.

As per the ad, it has been guessed that Ferrari only built around 30 manual-equipped 599s as this was during the period Ferrari extended manual production briefly due to online "demand". This car is advertised as 1 of 10 European spec cars & possibly 1 of 4 RHD examples. These are extremely rare to find available as it's guessed many owners retained theirs since they had to specifically order them. Although funny enough, there is a 2nd manual-equipped example headed to auction. But, these are definitely rare birds that have nothing but praise as I believe the F1-Gearbox at this time, still had some kinks. This example has the HGTE Package, an owner applied GTO bonnet & wheels, and covered 9,000 miles with (now-fixed) road wear to show for it, which makes the asking price astonishing: £499,850.
