That is surely not all above board...If you want to bankrupt yourself then you might as well buy a 400 series as a V12 is always better that a V8.
Should get a 400 pretty cheap...
The most unloved supercar has to be the Aston DB6 MK2 with electronic fuel injection. The MK2 was introduced right at the end of its production run and is distinguishable by its flared wheel arches. They tried to be really clever and introduced this half arsed electronic fuel injection (at a time when they were not on production cars) who's party piece was to fill up the cylinders with fuel and cause the engine to hydraulic and destroy itself. This happened when the engine wasnt running and you left the ignition on for any time, and when the engine was started.........you can guess! None survive I think, but who knows I expect SOMEONES got one somewhere.

The Alpine is a great shout
Yep ... great shout ... worked at a Renault dealer for a bit in the early 90s and we had an A610 Turbo in ... one below is a Le Mans .... certainly under rated and probably unloved. Not helped by product placement in BBC's very unloved Eldorado to Elle .... seen you on the occasional thread and absolutely love the Venturi (saw a few at Le Mans in the early 90s ... Jacques Laffite?) which is kinda related to the Alpine

Not many purists rate the Mk3 "E" type, preferring the Mk 1 or 2, but I think the Mk 3 V12 is
Will be worth an absolute fotune in another 25 years.........
Out of curiosity, what makes the Mk3 more special than the other two? Reason I ask is, I've always wanted an E-Type but didn't think there was a major difference between all 3 Mk's.Will be worth an absolute fotune in another 25 years.........
