The red Ferrari 250 GTO, one of only 36 ever made and one of the most sought-after cars in the world, is the latest of the fiery, sporty Italian cars to be added to the collection of Ferrari-fanatic Evans, who recently took over from Terry Wogan on Radio 2. History Terry Hoyle, the boss of Maldon- based TDH Classics, which maintains the Evans' Ferraris, said: "The value of the car is in its history and provenance.

The car was capable of 160mph when it was first made in 1963. According to Terry, classic cars are a good investment while Replica Oris Watches people are not putting money into banks. He knew of two brothers who had purchased the same model for Pounds 4,000 each in the seventies.

The 67-year-old, who started working in the mid-sixties with Ferrari importers as a mechanic, now employs four specialist mechanics, all with more than 12 years' experience, after starting the business in 1973. As for Ferraris? Passion "It's the passion, the engineering, the whole thing. "I don't think you get the same with BMW or Lamborghini because Lamborghini hasn't got the history like Ferraris." Mr Hoyle added: "We have painted his cars white. "I think he might paint the latest one a new colour but the jury is out on that." Mr Hoyle has also changed the upholstery on the Evans' collection. Mr Hoyle, who lives at Bradwell-on-Sea, has just returned from a Chris Evans' Ferrari Drive charity event in aid of Children in Need, Gucci 101G Round Midsize Junior Black Dress Watch YA101405 in which lucky drivers took seven powerful Ferraris through parts of the south west.
