If you like F40s have a look at the article in the new EVO mag. One of the writers drives one back through the Alps to save the owner making the trip.
An RS500 in convoy would have made an even better article

Nailed it there Martin - too many people trying to run them on pennies and not doing the basic stuff. A local high end car specialist says people will come in with an old 911 and not flinch at 3k of maintenance but not want to spend £300 on maintaining the same performance in an old Sierra. A lot comes down to the owners mindset in his opinion. He looks after a 500 for a guy who's well off and has Ferraris/Porsches and says it's way more reliable than some of the similar age Italian stuff.
