Gorgeous car, one of my all time favorites. Only if I had $700k lying around...

Its a timeless car!

Such a beauty, a piece of art thats timeless suites the past,present and future. It would be even better if it was a white/red or black/red 300SL Gullwing.

Lots of nice rides there.
The Gullwing is definitely one of the best classic cars built.

Daytona Spyder, Dino, DB7 Vantage Volante....Lots of old muscle.

On Topic, this seams to be crazy money for a non-rudge knock-off car without the factory luggage or the more desirable MB Plaid interior.

They also hesitate to mention who actually did the restoration. This should be a major selling point. If Paul Russell and Co did the work, it would command a hefty premium.

Doesn't figure, beautiful and highly desirable car nonetheless.

Cheers.

Interesting Follow-Up

I did a quick search after my post above to see if I spelled Rudge Knock-Off's correctly came across this site.

One of my favorites but I think 500 is the ceiling for this car, from what I've seen.
