I love the look of that. Why is it so much cheaper than the others?

It'll probably be the only one to sell , the silver car, only a 230 , is near on double this one .

Some curious and tempting estimates in amongst those cars.

[petjam]

It sold in the end for £64k (which includes fees).

All of them sold actually including a fully restored one which they said was a world record for £185k!

I don't follow prices of those , or anything else but that sounds a lot more than I've ever heard of before.

I don't understand this world, I never expected it to make any sense but a Piaggio Ape goes for over £10K and for just £108 quid more you can get a SL55AMG, just as an example as it it next door on their website, for half as much there was a Stnadard Nine if you were after something more pedestrian. Oh well, I suppose it takes all sorts ...

Where Brabus will sell you a newly built one for €298,000 and new boys Hemmels will sell you one for more, £180k for a RHD car that is in its original spec isn’t bad...
