I agree...nice car, who in there right mind is going to pay that for it though...That being said I guess its worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

we did the deal in his "games room" his sons counted out the bag of cash over his full sized snooker table whilst we had a drink at his bar.
Iam now chasing another with only 9K on the clock,wont be as cheap as that one was though,but it wont be 48K either

5k miles?.. Were the owners heavy? I owned these cars at this sort of mileage and the drivers seat was always mint, not so on this car.

There's a man on the planet for that car but at Ł47k he needs to be caught in a real good mood!

My 500 had a bent rear arm , how you could tell this from a picture

this 500 has a seat that In your opinion isnt good enough for 5k

Have you ever seen both cars in the flesh ?, I have

What you must remember is that this car is now 22 years old and altho hasnt done many miles the car will have had people getting in and out of it for that many years

And i would personaly bet you this car does a min of 45k
