Yea that's probably about right.
Surprised it's not more to be honest.

True, mileage is surely irrelevant with the amount of work that's gone into the restoration.

E90 BMW 320si...not far off M3 Money at £15K.

Probably about £8k overpriced given what others are selling/ have sold for.

£4k Picasso.

Regardless of mileage, you'd be nuts to pay over a few hundred quid for this.

When you can get mint ones for, what, £350k, this at £120k, burnt out, has surely got to be up there?

'Deemed the cheapest Dino on the market' ...well you'd like to think so biggrin

That looks near enough unsalvageable, almost more of a museum piece or for someone to just own as 'art'

Even with a history report which is probably pretty limited I would be surprised if you would even be able to decipher any VIN numbers etc. 'Dino gt' badge about the only piece worth a few pennies - if it is even real.

I say this all and then was reminded about those Ferraris that went for auction in Monterey last year that were ravaged in the 2004 Hurricane Charley. Seemingly unsalvageable 500 Mondial Spider Series 1 for $1.8mil: https://rmsothebys.com/auctions/mo23/lots/r0058-19...

Surely cars like that even if restored are basically just a kit car at that point? theres no way of restoring the bodywork without near enough replacing it all. But if it has the VIN number, even if every nut and bolt is new, its the real deal? $1.8m for a burnt out bit of metal obviously proves so. Madness.

I've never driven one but in my head these would need thrashing to death to get much out of them. 20% less torque with only 50hp more than my Duster, which is also lighter.

And that thing is only described as nippy by people born before 1960.
