Source-Lionel Messi scored another win over rival Cristiano Ronaldo with a €32.1 million (£25m) purchase of classic Ferrari, according to Spanish newspaper Sport. The 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti owned by Italian billionaire Alessandro Proto went on sale last week at the Artcurial Motorcars Retromobile 2016 in Paris and fetched the world-record fee. The identity of the buyer has been kept anonymous but Sport claim a press release from Proto's company has suggested Messi could have won the auction with Ronaldo also a keen bidder.
Messi does it again. Beat Ronaldo for the Ballon
d'Or this year, four times total since 2010. Generally considered to be a
better player, and better teammate, and better person than CR7. And now he
steals a car right out form under him. Ronaldo's chance to say "HA! I have
more disposable income than you!" and Messi just spits in his eye.
And how about the price of this car? Over $36
million for that?
I guess it's worth more since it was driven by
a legendary F1 driver, Stirling Moss, in the 1958 Cuban Grand Prix. You always
get more for game used memorabilia. But I don't think I'd be able to drive
that. It's a mix of I din't want to be the guy who breaks the world's most
expensive car, and it just doesn't look drive-able on multiple levels. Safety
features are probably poor, and I'm not too into retro looks when it comes to
cars. And for those reasons, I'm out.
