250 Lusso in Greenwich, CT

Did anyone find out more about this? I still do not see it for sale on their website?

 

Is that blue or green?

 

I saw it on display one night. Next time I drove by there was a red 275 in that spot. What's next, live Kate Moss photo shoots? (I know Jezza said she's a Mercedes gal . . .)

A roll bar was not a common feature. Neither were A/C or a radio. There were no power windows and they drove like a truck. Gorgeous to look at nonetheless. I owned #4539 for thirty years and I ought to know.

 

^ not to mention under powered and drives like a truck.

 

am I the only one who misses the old floors at miller? They were very elegant in the day

 

Yes, the old interior of Miller had a lot of character - it was an institution almost like the 21 Club, etc. The new interior feels very corporate. Really miss Werner too.

 

I know the seller and the buyer. The car went from one good home to another. Not a speculator!

 

Seller of this and the 275GTB is a member here, no? Hope he is letting these cars go to make room for other gems!

 

Have you seen her recently in real life, up close?
Zits, bad skin, really washed up, shows drug and alcohol abuse going on for a long time.....
Sad....

 

I live in seriously sheltered world, man. We did you have to blow it for me?

 

Thats cool!

 

Hey guys, just saw this thread, yes have 5 or 6 cars coming in the new year. Making some space! Yes lusso went to a great local guy.

 

I have seen her in the flesh recently (one advantage of North London life) and she looked great. A top earning model and icon from 14 to 40, not a bad innings.
She may not radiate tantric health like a macro biotic Gwyeneth Paltrow, but I know who I would rather , ahem , "spend the evening with".

 

What does a Lusso these days?

 

Others may know better, but my sense is that a tatty driver/old restoration is 2/low 2s, excellent cars with classiche and all goodies are mid to high 2s and an outstanding fresh pebble beach restoration would be 3+ (and super nice RHD cars have sold recently at around 3 but I think only 20 were made so there is special demand for those from UK/Australia etc)

 

I'm glad to hear that, Mark. I assume the 288 at Miller is yours, too? Maybe that is the one I'm saddest to see go, as if that matters... Anyway, sometimes you hear not so great reasons for these sales (3 D's) which aren't so great. Hope you will share some pics & details when the new cars arrive, whatever they may be!

 

Yes 288 is mine too. New cars include 1958 250 tour de france, 1964 Aston db5, 2015 Pagani huyara which will be at the Geneva motor show plus some others which I will show when they arrive.

 

Wow - that is spectacular!!!!!

 

Did you buy David's old car?

 

No this is a car i have had for a while, it is being restored and classiched at the factory.
