Chris Evans Pays £5.6 Million For James Coburn’s Ferrari; 1961 250 GT SWB California Spyder

Posted in Chris Evans  by Laura Lily on May 19th, 2008

Chris Evans yesterday reportedly spent a record £5.6 million on a Ferrari.
DJ and car enthusiast Chris, 42, purchased the 1961 250 GT SWB California Spyder setting a new world record price for a car at auction.
The beautiful Ferrari was once owned by legendary Hollywood actor James Coburn.

Radio 2 broadcaster Chris, who already owns an impressive and expensive fleet of motors, sat in the front row at the auction with his golfer wife Natasha Shishmanian, 27.
Multi-millionaire Chris wore a black velvet jacket and torn jeans whilst sipping beer from a bottle, during the auction.
Apparently there was a tense 30-minute bidding war for the gorgeous, black convertible car.

The prices of these Ferraris has taken off in recent years and Chris Evans, who has been after an even rarer racing 250 GTO Ferrari “until they leapt in price”, was determined to own this famous example.

Sitting with Chris and his wife Natasha in the front row of the auction with his advisor from Talacrest, a Ferrari specialist.
At one point, with a bid of £4.9m against him, Chris was gently encouraged to take some thinking time by auctioneer Peter Bainbridge.
Chris said,”I need a Budweiser.
“A Budweiser?” boomed Mr Bainbridge. “We’ll get you a whole case.”
Chris said, “I thought it was the funniest thing ever.”

Unsurprisingly there were several other enthusiasts present at the annual Ferrari sale in Maranello, Italy, which sent the price shooting past the pre-auction estimate of £2.8 million.

A spokesman for RM Auction said, “Chris made a successful bid for his Ferrari, which will take pride of place in his own celebrated collection.”

After the auction Chris was quoted as saying, “I love it, it’s great. I’ve always wanted a car like this since I was a little boy. This is the best of the best. It seems a lot of money now, but in five to 10 years time it’ll be out of my range.’
“I didn’t expect it to go for that price, but I’m fine, absolutely calm. I’ve just had a Guinness.”
He said he has yet to drive the Ferrari, saying, “I’ve never driven a car like that in my life.”

This year’s Sunday Times Rich List estimates Chris Evans’s personal wealth at £45 million ($88 million). Chris found fame in 1992 by launching The Big Breakfast Show on Channel Four. He now hosts a BBC drive-time radio show, and invests in property and vintage cars.

James Coburn, who died in 2002, appeared in more than 100 films including The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape, purchased the car in 1964. James sold the car in 1987 and it has had a number of private owners since.

The £5.6 million sum is the highest ever paid for that model and age of Ferrari at auction.
The previous record was £5.4 million in 1981.

This purchase is not out of character for generous Chris Evans, in 2000 he famously purchased a Ferrari which he filled with roses, for his then future and now second ex- wife Billie Piper, just one day after meeting her.
At the time Billie said she was “ecstatic” despite the fact she couldn’t drive. :o

Good for Chris, he works hard and he has donated millions of pounds to charity, so he deserves to enjoy some of his wealth himself. I’m sure he’ll have a blast driving his gorgeous new set of wheels.

Chris Evans Admits Taking Magic Mushrooms

Posted in Chris Evans  by Laura Lily on March 27th, 2008

Chris Evans has reportedly revealed that he took magic mushrooms.
The motormouth Radio 2 presenter admitted taking the mushrooms whilst posting on his BBC blog about using the Class A drug.
Chris said he experienced a bizarre trip where he thought he was riding on a giant crab, during a gig at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
He said he remembers shooting live footage on his phone, saying, “It was a Meat Loaf concert, two days before which I’d had rather more magic mushrooms than maybe I should have.
“I thought I was chronicling the Albert Hall moving sideways on the back of a giant rock and roll crab, something I didn’t think the world should miss.”
Meat Loaf performed at the venue in October 2006, a year after mushrooms received a class A rating.
Radio 2 and Evans’ agent refused to comment on his drug claims yesterday.
A friend of Chris’ reportedly said, “Chris is known to like a drink and a good night out, but I don’t think anyone realised that he occasionally dabbled in mushrooms.
“I don’t think he bothers that much with hallucinogens any more.”

Apparently the police have said they may investigate! With a Met Police spokeswoman saying that the force would investigate any reports of Class A drug-taking.
A police source added, “If Chris Evans has admitted taking magic mushrooms after they were made Class A we will have to look into it.”
The maximum sentence for possessing magic mushrooms is seven years’ jail or an unlimited fine.

I guess because there is so little serious crime in the UK the police need something to keep them busy, hence following up this matter!
I vaguely remember a similar story about the DJ Danny Baker who told a story on air about stealing a bus many years before, and unbelievably the police looked into that too!
It’s interesting how the police were available in these two instances, and yet when someone is in desperate need of their help and they ring 999 the operator puts them on hold, presumably because the police are too busy?!
I appreciate that using Class A drugs is a crime, and the police have to be seen to be doing their job, but instead of wasting tax payers money following up this matter, why don’t they try fighting the serious crimes that are taking place more and more frequently on the increasingly dangerous streets of the UK?
I know why … it’s too dangerous for them to venture out of the safety of their police stations or cars!

Chris Evans ~ Married, Third Time Lucky!

Posted in Chris Evans  by Laura Lily on August 16th, 2007

Congratulations to Chris and Natasha, I hope third times a charm!
Their wedding took place in Guildford, Surrey, and then radio presenter Chris Evans celebrated his third marriage to golf journalist Natasha Shishmanian in Portugal.

Chris and Natasha enjoyed a party with 200 close friends at a restaurant on the Algarve. Second wife Billie Piper, 24, and her fiancé Laurence Fox were among the guests.

Chris looked cool in a white suit while Natasha, 27, wore a white dress.

I think Natasha looks quite similar to Chris’ first wife Carol McGiffin, I wonder if she attended the celebrations?
