Just beautiful.
If mine gets to that I will be well pleased but I won't be around probably.

Justin Banks does have spectacular cars from time to time but this is up there; stunning...

Such lovely lines and why not ask that, Ferraris of the similar vintage are going for loads more and this is just as beautiful & rare

Would love to own one or a ferrari of the same era.
There is just something about those lines...

However at these prices it's not going to happen.
Even if I could afford it I would be much to afraid to drive it and crash it

Sebring is such a lovely balance of performance and style, as previously mentioned it wasn't that long ago you could get these for the price of new Mondeo. Hindsight I wish I had known then what I know now

I think they built a few thousand 4200's where as the cqr in the photo was more likely a few hundred.

Nearly 600 acording to wikipedia and 2500 units of the 3500GT which is a similar car.and also sells close to this value.

Yes, 3200/4200 were manufactured in higher number but I bet they also crash and get put out of circulation faster now than back then.
Back then the problem was mostly rust, today it's mostly careless drivers :)

I saw one of these getting its final fettling at Spellbound in Farnham when I picked up my Spyder recently. Looked and sounded amazing, surprisingly smooth but very raw at the same time. Lucky owner.

Re modern car values rising, I used to own a TVR Griffith which I loved. I sold it about 6/7 years ago. I suppose it is pretty rare but I never thought they would increase in value. I'd say prices are maybe 50% higher now for decent ones.

For me that's not a good reason to keep a car, I'd never make a dealer, but who knows what might happen in the future.

I've won the lottery quite a few times but even with 5 numbers I only got £1400!
So like all good gamblers I've quit whilst I'm ahead.
