As point of reference, I believe they were asking £750k for this one: http://www.maxted-page.com/cars/car-details.aspx?id=187
Not sure what it sold for though...

The Filipinitti was my old car and is probably one of the top three 904's available .

Expect it to be significantly higher than the ex Japanese car that had no significant history and no 4 cyl engine .A U S prepared car and Probably sold way under what others have gone for.

More information please?? Actually maybe I should of just read this info

"In 2009 chassis #079 was sold by Manfred Freisinger to UK collector John Ruston and freshly prepared for competitive, historic racing. Upon completion in 2010 the car first ran at le Mans Classic and then on the Gstaad Rally, before being acquired by the present (UK) owner. Most recently, chassis # 079 raced at the 2012 le Mans Classic and has been maintained in race-ready condition since."

Have heard they can be a bit claustrophobic inside.

I had no love for mine (073) except as a beautiful looking car

It was not a patch on Johns car in terms of quality or history

Having reread that bit of History not sure where that came from as it raced in Le Mans Classic in 08 and Gstaad also in 08.Seem to remember it did early 5 min laps but made the crazy decision at time to keep B 8 and flog 904.

Price Band for 904/4 or 6. Over 1 million to 1.8 for 6 with history and going higher.

Euro lottery Friday

Nothing compared with a Ferrari with no history but expensive against an Elva B M W GT Le Mans that gets you to all the main events!

Sorry John I am not really sure what you are saying

Yours was 079 and I do not dispute anything that you say

Mike was 073 and I did not like it (for various reasons)

I agree with your pricing on these cars
