Not mad, it seems a good price to me, a few months ago there was a RHD SII for sale which was going begging at over £200k. Having seen Iain's SIII up close in the flesh I'd say it's worth every penny.... and another fifty or sixty quid spent on raised black digit / reflective white and yellow number plates would make it just perfect...!
STOP IT !!! 
White S.3 Cars -
In 1976, I was working in a shop in London’s St. Martins Lane, when shall we call him “ a Film Making “ acquaintance of my Late Dads, pulled up outside, in a white S.3 Espada. In my minds eye, I can still see it parked outside, it may ? Have been P registered. Is there any info available on the U.K. supplied White Espadas ?
I have the owners name.

A “ Film Maker “ shall we call him, ex pal, of my Late Dads, rocked up in a white Espada, in early 1976, to the gun shop that I was working in. I’m pretty sure that it may have been P registered ??

Beige RHD Espada anyone: OLX195P just outside Heathmans (Exoticar) in Parsons Green in London in July 1992.
...and then in August 1992 same place 5803TW a red RHD Espada (was this on the cover of Supercar Classics Magazine), and I thought I'd leave in the Miura SV in RHD DRY976K, which was either uprated from a Miura S or converted from LHD to RHD and the Pantera.
Lots to get through.
Oh wow OLX195P, used to be my Dad's car, he sold it around 2000. The Ferrari 308 at the back was also his. The photo was taken outside Heathmans when he looked into selling the Espada and the 308 for a Lamborghini Countach. I have a couple more photos of it, not sure when these where taken but I believe it was around 1998....and then in August 1992 same place 5803TW a red RHD Espada (was this on the cover of Supercar Classics Magazine), and I thought I'd leave in the Miura SV in RHD DRY976K, which was either uprated from a Miura S or converted from LHD to RHD and the Pantera.

If anyone knows what happened to it please let me know as I can't find anything online.

1998 seems late, was Barry still there then? It feels like it should have been a few years earlierIf anyone knows what happened to it please let me know as I can't find anything online.

I am asking people scattered around the globe if they can help in preparing a list of all the 160 UK supplied cars. I will need to re set the list by chassis number and then fill in the rest of the detail. If people have cars or chassis numbers or any other info can they please post it so we can build a definitive list as a permanent resource for us all to use?
Once done it will be there for everyone.
Hope people can join in.
