I think I will disagree. Look at the two Gullwings sold at auction recently, the unrestored (well used) example sold for more than the restored example. In classic car circles you see it quite often.

Original low mile examples will always pull high values over anything else, because you can't replicate that.

But that is exactly my point. The originality is more important than mileage, every time.

In my business people don't care about mileage because they want to use them. There are exceptions but they are few and far between.

When demand far exceeds supply, new "rules" will come into play.

The engine sounds exactly as it did when it was first started when it rolled off the production line in Oct 2003.









And in the owner you'll not find a more genuine, enthusiastic, helpful or down to earth individual.

And to save further forum tittle tattle and conjecture, the asking price is circa £65K.

cheap as chips considering you cannot buy a CSL here in HK for £65K period.

Prices in Germany are going insane.
