P66 or Ferrari?

[RAP72]

Similar? To me a question of chicken and egg - which came first.

[Chris_R]

Which one is the chicken?

[John Staddon]

To suggest that the P66, a car from 1966, is similar to the Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina, a car first introduced in 1957, almost 10 years earlier, surely illustrates exactly why the more forward thinking people at JML didn't want to go ahead with it!

Well, I can only imagine the silly money thats likley asked- so I'll pass on both, Buy the S1 V8 Vantage I've always wanted since before birth & Dunc's SP for the boss, clear mortgage & bugger it, treat me-self to a Bentley Turbo R that I've always admired with the change!!

You are, as a C-V8 owner, on the wrong side of this argument John You should be arguing design continuity!

[MikeWilliams]

John is right, it was an outdated style then, whereas the Interceptor was very modern. But now they are both classics and the P66 just looks fabulous - in my biased opinion.

Eric Neale was friendly with Pinin and once lent me some styling books by Pinin, so I am sure they shared design ideas.

This is the one and only same car.
It has evidently sold and is, I believe on its way to The Netherlands.
As to the selling price, I don't know.

Indeed sold and in The Netherlands now. The new owner does not want to disclose what he paid.....

[felixkk]

Could have got a perfectly ordinary EType for that money

Well done on the sale, I hope we‘ll see it again sometime soon!

[DerekCV8]

Thanks Felix. The new owner is very enthusiastic and has the resources to care for the car well. He is already in contact with with the Dutch JOC and I have no doubt that the car will be out and about at events in the future.
