Description
- A Chamonix 550 Spyder built in 2009 by Special Editions Inc. (USA) from the base car manufactured in Sao Paulo in Brazil. Initially supplied to F1 Assistant Race Director Herbie Blash
- Special Editions Inc. has been responsible for producing other 550 Spyders for the likes of Jay Leno and designer Gordon Murray leaving no doubt about the quality and desirability of these well-crafted cars
- The overall fit and finish of the bodywork is of an exceptionally high standard and the general condition is commensurate with only having covered 3,500 miles
- The rear wings have been painstakingly detailed with red painted flashes with gold edging as a nod to period race liveries and are painted on. The look continues with a GT mirror, Porsche badging, mesh headlight covers and leather engine-cover straps
- The engine is 1915cc which gives vivid performance combined with the legendary nimble handling offered by the tubular chassis and coil-over suspension
- Registered as a 1955 Chamonix, exempt from Road Fund Tax and an appealing export proposition
- With an original 550 Spyder at $5,000,000, this is a very good alternative and represents remarkable value
Offered here is a Chamonix 550 Spyder built in 2009 by Special Editions Inc.(USA) from the base car manufactured in Sao Paulo in Brazil. It was initially supplied to F1 Assistant Race Director, Herbie Blash who's usually seen in the driver's weighing room after a Grand Prix. Special Editions Inc. has been responsible for producing other 550 Spyder reps for the likes of Jay Leno and designer Gordon Murray leaving no doubt about the quality of these well-crafted replicas. The overall fit and finish of the bodywork are of an exceptionally high standard and the general condition is commensurate with only having covered 3,500 miles. The rear wings have been painstakingly detailed with red painted flashes with gold edging as a 'nod' to period race liveries and are painted on. The look continues with a GT mirror, Porsche badging, mesh headlight covers and leather engine-cover straps. The red leather interior features a 14'' Nardi wood-rim wheel, aluminium control stalks, and a push-button starter and the weather equipment consists of full/half tonneau and side screens. The engine is 1915cc which offers vivid performance when combined with the legendary nimble handling inherent in the well-designed tubular chassis and coil-over suspension. It's registered as a 1955 Chamonix so it's exempt from Road Fund Tax.
With an original 550 Spyder at $5,000,000, this is a very good alternative and in this condition, and at this sensible guide, represents remarkable value.
