Screen-wash needs a top up on the roadster. Otherwise I'd buy it.
Doesn't this car have a paddleshift 'box but also a manual clutch?
Apparently due to cabin space being so tight that one does not have room to move one's elbow - or maybe it's to accentuate the car's motorsports heritage or something!Doesn't this car have a paddleshift 'box but also a manual clutch?

Is this the worst depreciating car of all time?
no...a Jaguar named XJ220 was much worse...from wikki
Many of the initial customers were dissatisfied not only with the modifications to the original specification but the significant increase in delivery price from the original £361,000 to £403,000 ($650,000 USD). Another downfall to sales was the recession.
In spite of the drama surrounding its creation, a total of 281 cars were made and by 1997, few of these remained available for sale new at £150,000. Nowadays, it remains a sought-after collectible sports car, fetching £100,000+.

In absolute terms, the most expensive car is almost always going to have the highest depreciation.
Tell that to Enzo owners. OK, so not the MOST expensive, but hardly cheap... And now less cheap.There was an article in EVO a while back, if you'd bought an Enzo and run ot for 10,000 miles and sold it, you GOT PAID for driving it.
