    Sammy Hagar’s Cream LaFerrari Just Sells for $4.65M, Setting World Record

    Former Van Halen front man and rocker in his own right Sammy Hagar just sold his unique Ferrari LaFerrari (VIN: ZFF76ZFA2F0212166) via Barrett Jackson’s Fall 2024 sale, setting a new world record price for this particular model of Ferrari. Notably, the car was custom built to Sammy’s specification in Cream over Cream.

    Looking over the Hagar LaFerrari, we’re guessing he built it via the Ferrari Tailor-Made program where discerning clients get a wide spectrum of freedom as they specify exterior color(s), interior color(s) and other details within the specification.

    We’re a little confused on the final price. The Barrett-Jackson social media post (below) lists it as $4.25 million, though the Barrett-Jackson Fall Sale results on their website (HERE) list the price as $4.675M.

    In this case, the colors of the Hagar LaFerrari listed by Barrett Jackson are simply Cream exterior and Cream interior. Sammy reportedly chose the combination to match the color of a 1960s Ferrari he saw pictured on the wall at Ferrari’s Maranello factory during his visit in 2014 presumably to order this car. The color combination also contrasts beautifully with carbon fiber and black accents.

    Also included with the car is a special replica model that was given to Hagar as a gift by Ferrari, a book of the build process and plaque signed by Hagar from when the car was displayed at The Quail during the 2016 Monterey Car Week.

    “I’m so excited that my LaFerrari, the most beautiful one on the planet, is headed back to Scottsdale this fall,” said Hagar in a Barrett-Jackson Press Release. “This car has a new high-voltage battery straight from the factory, so it’s even better than the original. It’s going to be an extra-rocking time because it’s crossing the block on Oct. 12, the day before my birthday. In fact, the winning bidder had better bring a passport, because I’m taking you to Cabo to help celebrate my birthday on October 13. This is going to be a wild ride and I can’t wait to see everyone there.”

    Color Chart: 1969 Jaguar Standard Colors and Trim

    Continuing in our series of cataloguing factory colors is this vintage Jaguar Color Guide dated April 1969. While these would have been standard colors, it’s fascinating to look back on both what was offered and perhaps have vintage colors such as these resurrected for modern specifications.

    The book reads:

    “The color finishes illustrated and combinations described are those which will be available from April 1969. Jaguar Cars Limited reserve the right to alter or withdraw any color finish without notice. The patters are intended to serve primarily as a guide and whilst they approximate closely to the actual colors used, they should not be utilized for the purpose of paint matching or for any other purpose where complete accuracy is essential.“

    Paint colors Include: Cream, Warwick Grey, Ascot Fawn (maybe the most Jaguar color name ever), Willow Green, Dark Blue, Black, Sable, Light Blue, Regency Red, British Racing Green, Pale Primrose and Signal Red.
