This one has been sitting in Port Pin Rolland (France) for some years now, and can be yours for the meek sum of 75000 euros.

SloopJonB 12,584 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I remember when they were new and they were being sold out of a showroom at 2nd and Fir - like cars. They were at their ugliest in that environment. Sure made them look big though - maybe that was the idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
