I sincerely hope the seller gets his money, I saw one recently at a show and the guy paid only a few thousand less than this but it had more miles on it. He paid top money because he knew what he was looking for, so there are people out there who truly appreciate the car for what it is
I suspect the way ''classic car'' prices are climbing at the moment if this is kept in this condition in another 10 years it will be a good investment. Who would have believed anybody would be paying £30k for a Capri or even more for a MK1 Range Rover and few years ago, even Allergros are now fetching £5k and they are horrible.

Only 5 years these V8's were fetching a lot less than they are now. Anything that is a bit unusual and/or has a decent bit of power always seems to become collectable.
