Good price. Last year I bought a new one (in the box) for approx €200,-.

Just thinking the same!!!

Does seem odd, my whole running Cat C Portofino (with lots of goodies) only cost 400 odd quid!!

I think it's down to amount of effort involved in removing the original coating and reapplying a new surface. Gaz at Solo Italia has this new one for sale at £160 which makes it look like good value crazy

£160 seems reasonable.

Coupe parts in mint condition are hard to find. The coupe will be a collectors car only soon.
I'm still looking for:
- The tunnel
- The ash tray
Both in mint condition. I have several in reasonable condition.

E.g. I also have a new spare "emergency light" button. Real red, not orange.

@jimbob13: are yours without a sticky surface, without scratches and with the original coating? If so, they certainly have value.

But wouldn't that leave it a little flat?

It needn't necessarily b flat, it actually turned out rather sharp.

Does the shiny surface make the car go faster? does it make you press the "loud pedal" more?
