Button's 360 - how much????!!!
Discussion
Just a quick note on that point Sone,
The current owner actually removed the car from sale with us just after you viewed it, and at the time was priced in accordance with the owners instructions, the current sale is indeed pictured outside of our premises, but has no other connection to our company other than being a service customer at the present time

Ok apologies and point taken, my remarks were not a ment to offend and I appreciate the price was set by the client not your company. But I do think it will be on sale for a long,long time at that price.The current owner actually removed the car from sale with us just after you viewed it, and at the time was priced in accordance with the owners instructions, the current sale is indeed pictured outside of our premises, but has no other connection to our company other than being a service customer at the present time

Suppose it could be different if Button goes onto winning the World championship again and proves himself to be a mototring legend.
100k in the meantime tho looks very optimistic.
Would probably be 100k's worth of coke hidden in Marradona,s car (-;

I wz up at Christies Auction the other day & they said a car is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. If this chap auction the car, who know what it would make!!
I personally think its only worth 1 and a half times the market value. If it was a one off, special edition to mark Jenson Buttons F1 win, then thats a different story, the mere fact its a standard F360 F1 like all the others, hardly makes it unique.
& £100k price tag!! Thats a joke!!

Who know's, he might have heard a rumor that JB himself wants to buy it back!
As for putting it to auction to find the 'true market value', that logic only goes so far as you need two committed buyers to drive the price up. There might be one loony out there who would pay £100k for the car, but you'd still need to find another loony who'd bid £99k or the hammer would come down at a much lower price. And the other angle is the £100k loony might well be out there but if he is unaware that the auction is on, he will never be in the bidding race.
I can't help thinking that good ol' Chris Evans, lovely chap that he is, might have paid less for his California if the person who was bidding against him was in bed with the flu that week!
All this banter is good publicity for the car though and good luck to the seller, mr Button himself had his share of good luck this season so there's enough to spread around...
