Beautiful car. I'll bet it doesn't even start. The new owner will put it back in bubble wrap and vacuum seal it in his collection.

Florida Roadster you’re way off. That’s a five digit speedometer, so It really has a whopping 46 km, or 28.5 miles!

I can't imagine anyone has put gas/fuel/petrol in the car for 67 years. THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE VERSION EVER OF "RAN WHEN PARKED." I doubt the new owner asked them to start it up so he/she could take a test ride.
But it is a beautiful "car" none the less.

Re: New Record - $142M for a Car
What’s sad is that even though the owner must have very deep pockets I suspect that the insurance just for extremely limited driving is so cost prohibitve that even he would choose to not drive it. I bet just the cost of insurance to trailer it to something like Pebble Beach would pay for a very nice roadster. I doubt the car ever gets out of first gear again, maybe second if he has a very long driveway!

Re: New Record - $142M for a Car
Yup. New owner will probably use it as a center piece and build a new mansion around it - It will likely never see the light of day again … A shame.

Exactly!
If I had to work until the year 3205 just to pay off that car, absolutely I would be driving it!
