One day son, this will be yours: Chris Evans proudly shows off his £1million red Enzo Ferrari to son Noah


Some men are happy to trade in their sports cars for a bigger model when they start a family - albeit begrudgingly.

But not Chris Evans, whose passion for expensive sports cars shows no sign of abating as he gave his baby son a ride in his £1million Ferrari Enzo.

Last Monday, the presenter took his 15-month-old son Noah and professional golfer wife Natasha Shishmanian on a spin through the countryside in his flash motors

And while Evans, 44, strapped Noah in tightly to the two-seater Italian sports car, Natasha, 29, followed close behind in her classic white 1964 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso which Chris bought for £650,000 for her birthday last year.

The couple, who have been married for almost three years, were joined by some friends who were driving other speedy little numbers in his collection

One was lucky enough to be given the keys to his £100,000 yellow Ferrari Maranello 550 - which Evans bought for ex-wife Billie Piper and filled it with roses - while another took to the wheel of his rare 1960s Ford GT40.

Let's just hope his friends took great care because the insurance must be sky-high - although we suspect Evans can probably afford it.

The gang sped their way round the picturesque roads of the Surrey countryside before ending up at the Windmill Bar & Eating House near Guildford.

And being in the most expensive group of cars that have probably ever parked up at the restaurant, the collection understandably drew a lot of admiring glances.

One onlooker said: 'It was incredible. Everyone in the pub went up to have a look.'

Chris, who recently landed his TV comeback to co-host BBC One's The One Show, also drew attention to his very expensive motorcade as the group stopped at a local supermarket to get some petrol.

The Radio 2 breakfast show host's Ferarri stuck out like a sore thumb as he filled up the sports car before whizzing off.

Chris is well-known for his love of cars and also owns a Rolls Royce Phantom which has a numberplate that spells FAB 1 in tribute to Thunderbirds and also one of the most expensive plates to buy.

But his biggest extravagance was buying the world's most expensive car in Italy - which he said was unplanned.

Evans and Natasha travelled to Maranello, the home of Ferarri, in May 2008, to 'have a couple of beers and maybe buy some Ferrari calendars'.

But he ended up at the Sotheby's Ferrari auction where he became the owner of a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder, originally owned by actor James Coburn.

He bought it for a the world record price of £5million, the highest price ever paid for a car at auction.
