The Auto Collections

THE 1939 930V 4-DOOR OPEN TOURER, THERE WERE VERY FEW PRODUCED, AS A MATTER OF FACT IT WAS NEVER INCLUDED IN THE OFFICIAL SALES LIST OR PROSPECTUS IT WAS A SPECIAL ORDER CAR. THERE ARE ONLY TWO SURVIVORS!

It looks beautiful!! Imagine having a car that noone else on the whole world has!!

Look at this one, 1932 RR Phantom II Continental Figoni et Falaschi, it's unique. It's been made for the prince of Nepal, recently offered at auction - 950 000 $. Read the whole text!!

You know dOmInIX, it seems strange to me that there is more wealth in the world today than ever before and yet the super-rich today are so unimaginative in the way they spend their wealth - well perhaps not all of them, The Russians are pretty wild. But I wonder why we don't see many one-off vehicles - the Sultan of Brunei used to have vehicles especially built for him - If I had unlimited wealth I think I would go nuts dreaming up all sorts of exotic ideas for one-off Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, Maybachs - LOL - what a crazy idea ...Huh?

LOL...Funny but true!! Many of them buy Ferrari just to have Ferrari, they know nothing about it, it's performances, history...It's really sad. But I do respect people like Jay Leno, they are really nice people and not snobs like most of world's jet set.
Ferrari FX (1995 I supose) was made for the prince of Brunei, it costed him about 1,5 $. He has very much unique cars in his garage! I think that's cool because today, there's so much rich people that are unimaginative as you said, they don't know what to do with themselves!!

BTW, call me Dominic!!

Ahh...so THAT's where they got the name Pheaton for the VW from

Traditionally, a "Phaeton" is any open-top four seat tourer - the VW Phaeton is actually not a true Phaeton at all because it has a fixed hard top

I remember name 'Phaeton' was used since '20s...
