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.

Ok fuck!

I always thought 52 M 52 W

I didnt even put a disclaimer and now look like one of the dicks who spreads shit on the net

So are the other 500s even more amazing than this one?! it seems perfect!

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.
