Anyone know anymore about that? I can't imagine it would do the value of the classics any good to respray them in non-original colours. Was wondering whether he might have just had them all wrapped.

Being as hes really poor, I would assume he bought them that colour

Don't see many factory white F40s come up for sale though.

Good point. There's no accounting for taste, I suppose it's tough being ugly and ginger all your life

I've been pondering this for ages....

Where the hell does Chris Evans make his money? He presents a show on Radio 2, am I right? They must be paying him an absolute bomb if he's splashing tens of millions on classic cars...

He's had his own production company since the days of Big Breakfast which make and sell shows all over the world.

On 14 March 2000 Evans agreed the sale of Ginger Media Group to SMG plc for £225m.

Ah right, I thought he was merely a presenter.

Suits the GTO better than the F40.

F40 can really only be red (maybe yellow at a push)

Probably the worst day on record to make a film about the coolest drop top ever produced. Standing water everywhere.

James May and I look more like we're off fishing than about to drive Enzo's finest.

Photo pending.

18 shows and counting. . . Till the big move.

Looks like we might get to see his cars on the show and a piece on the California.

I also didn't think the episode was great. Didn't laugh once Maybe the gay jokes, ramming each others cars and hammer jokes are losing their appeal.

:/

I rofl'd at May saying he may have gone a bit sideways in the balloon

Great ep (as usual).

Begbie · 30 Nov 2009 at 20:29

I soooo want a Delta.

Just watching an old ep on Dave now. Modified 500bhp Evo vs the British Army

Think it was the drug dealers car which they destroy!
