The car will break for more than that mate , and re=shell or not , its still an RS500 so will always be worth a lot more than a std 3 door

P.S..its not a slagging at Paul....that guy knows 500's as well as anyone....even Karting...i just think Paul gets a bit over defensive(and maybe rightly so) over the marque....i still say its suspect though

its tricky isnt it,

if its been reshelled is it still a real 500?

the only thing that makes a 500 real is its id, and id assume the shell has different id?

otherwise if its components into any 3dr shell that make a 500,anyone could convert a 3dr.....


someone ring and find the facts, its quite interesting! very nice car though
