Ever ridden in one of these? I just did!!!!!!!!

An original is worth millions. Great cars. So few are driven period, let alone on the road. Those opportunities never happen. You're very lucky.
I helped push an old Can Am style Ferrari once at the MidOhio Vintage Races. The owner put me behind the wheel to steer. The ride lasted 40 seconds, the thrill will last a lifetime.
Unfortunately, the engine wasn't running and we had no camera.
When the car hit the track, you could hear that V-12 scream the whole way around the course. Awesome car.
The knees weakened a little when my father started talking car values. And it wasn't worth anywhere near a D-type.
 
D-Type: One of my favorite automobiles of all time. There's a restaurant here in DC (Clyde's of Chevy Chase) that has an original XKSS in the bar. It's an amazing machine.
