Always wanted to drive one to see what they were like, never did. But I had the "proper" HGT at the time.

I had a nice black one - did 70k miles with only the 1 cambelt failure.
Always thought the 'standard' version looked better than the Abarth plus those seats are, er, eyecatching.

Would prefer the GT turbo personally.

I've always liked them too - in Broom Yellow, but I'd never pay that much for one..... crazy

Certainly in good nick, but who would have purchased a car like that and never have used it???
Would it ever be deemed as a future classic?
Rare and unusual in the future perhaps...

I suppose its subjective to what someone is prepared to pay, I think that this is one of those unique situations where the mileage (if certified/proven correct) puts this car into the unknown in terms of market value – would apply to all makes and if kept long enough in excellent condition with very low mileage would become some form of ‘collectable’ for someone.

Thus I think its hard to value and at the opposite end hard to say if its worth it or not – we then turn full circle and can only conclude that its worth as much as someone that is willing to pay.

Would be great to find a Coupe with same mileage...

Though to be fair there are definitely cars out there whose destiny, irrespective of mileage and condition, is to have a piano dropped on them...
