Maybe Chris Evans will buy it ? :P

I remember at Stamford Hall AutoItalia him saying that he needed to sell the car to fund another restoration project. I told him at the time that he was bonkers when he told me the intended price. It was way too low in my opinion. You cannot apply the normal rules to such a unique car and I suggested somewhere between Â£4,000 plus at the time :)

The fact that most of them have been on sale for months surely means no ones wants them for that price. There are also a lot classic 500s on sale for months and months and months. Yeah slow market but something is only worth what people will pay for it. Someone was asking Â£8k for a ver nice Bis recently but any 126 about over about Â£2.5k doesn't seem to sell at all no matter what condition it's in.
