i don't think a car with history should be broken - you'll never get it back once its stripped

What sorta money are you thinking it might get broken vs sold whole?

Approx?

I'd love to see it stay whole - cars like yours have such great history.


Wanna px it for a Calibra I'm selling?

Shame to break it, can't you sell it as a complete car and get back near what you have spent, as it is a proper touring car?

Sounds like it has everything!
