These don't show up on Ebay very often. Beautiful car! :drool:

"Stunnning" is the word (and $245K the price!).

It's at Autosport, I guess I should go over sit in it and make vroom vroom sounds. Should be more affordable after that.

Should be more affordable after that.

 

I would have to agree but what do I know....I sure will not be putting in an offer....

too many digits for me

Well it is a premium price for a car with exception history and condition. Hard to object to a price like that for something so rare.

 

I did have a chance to sit in this 19 (and make brrrrm brrrm noises to myself) at Sports & Specialist Cars in Hopewell NJ:

At $199,000 it is also unaffordable for ordinary mortals. I think I still prefer the styling of the 23.

My objections was mostly towards my damn bank account, not the car. LOL

Wow I love the 23, but waaaaaaaaaaay out of my league.

Regardless of its record breaking price tag... the question is if it is worth its money ? Although with a great history and imaculate presentation, the chassies is a replica, manufactured by one of the best. The chassies shows more than one evidense to be manufactured by Xanthos...
