Crashed Ferrari Dino sells for £156,000

Wait, what? Didn’t Hammond buy one that worked(ish) for £10k?

Crashed Ferrari Dino sells for £156,000
It's often said that you won't be a successful artist unless your work fits in a New York elevator. But a sculptor called Bertrand has proved this rule has an exception. He just sold a smashed Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 for £156,000.
Smashed. As in completely totalled. An un-driveable, smashed, totalled 308 - a car so slow and wet it barely qualified for a Ferrari badge in the first place - for one HUNDRED and fifty six grand. A car there'shardly a short supply of that, y'know, work and stuff. A car that'll cost you £25,000 for a tidy example.

The £156,000 Dino in question belonged to Bertrand Lavier, who unceremoniously binned it as part of the so-called "ready-made" movement, which considers everyday objects as art. Whether said binning was intentional or not remains unclear. Either way, Lavier was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the written-off car that he sold it immediately to a Turkish man for $250,000.

Toyota Corolla 1982 Ke70 V8


There is just something so right about dropping a big motor in a little car. Especially if it’s a V8! It was something that Sakai-san from motorFIX had been thinking about for years and finally last year, he went for it. From a mechanical point of view the Toyota 1UZ now residing under the lightweight carbon bonnet of the motorFIX KE70 has double the cylinders of the 4AG that preceded it and well moIt’s by no means a performance motor, having been designed more for wafting big luxurious Lexus and Toyota cars in silence down the street, but it somehow just suits the Corolla perfectly. It’s got just the right amount of power and torque and plenty of reliability, which at the end of the day is probably the most important thing in a drift carre than double the capacity.
But before we get to the oily bits lest take a quick look at the exterior of the motorFIX Corolla. Since we last saw the car at last year’s Nagoya Exciting Car Showdown it has slightly changed.
