In the grand scheme of things that's a good price.

£50k... I'd class myself as an enthusiast and this is obviously going to be an absolute belter of an example if he owns it, but I think the value of these cars is absolutely ridiculous.

This is a true stunning 500 ,( and IMO will sell no probs at the asking price ) but there are better ones , but you will pay much much more than this asking price to own them

The extra 4 white rs500"s are the first 4 prototypes

i dread to think what his whole collection is worth then if this ones going for 50k ...

so if hes got 2 of each colour, hes got 2 moonstones, 2 whites, 2 blacks, and 2 focus 500s ( obviously black too ) .... that makes 8 ?

If I won the lottery I'd be seeking out examples like this rather than restored ones, so I don't see why there won't be a few rich folk that'd happily pay the money for one like that.
