Had my eye on that for over10 years but Signor Panini Jnr won't answer my calls....
Very true.
You could be very patient and wait for the right spec to come along, but even if it did then you are not guaranteed it is a “good” example and priced well.
As mentioned when I was first looking for a GT I wanted Alfieri, but when the Sofisticato Blu example came up it was hard to resist as it was stunning and in great condition. So I bought it and loved it.
The Eldorado example looks stunning, is low miles and has a great spec, so many boxes ticked. When you buy from Dickie most known issues will be done and the car prepared to a very high standard. This makes a massive difference.
Here’s a pic to make you want one even more

You do like red cars Andy.
Now that is not nice at all Andy.
Best of luck.
It took me over 2 years to find one that matched most of my wish-list... but worth the wait.
Actually I don't, I don't get big Americans either but mention Eldorado and I think CaddyYou do like red cars Andy.
You don't fancy giving it a spin around Llandow then ?Now that is not nice at all Andy.
I feel your pain. Best thing is to get it out of your system by going to have a look. At least that way you get to view a few nice examples in the flesh and help validate your thoughts on colour.Both stunning! Not sure which i would pick on that view. Those arch gaps cant be standard
Dicky knows I am keen to buy from him if something comes up for the reasons you mention. Hopefully I keep my wits about me if I dont buy from him, like you say the right spec might not be the 'right' one to buy.
I do like a metallic paint and probably the biggest point putting me off the eldorado is the solid paint. Sounds a bit silly when I type it out No arguments from me on it being a great buy hence why its playing on my mind.
Every day is torture scrolling through looking for something new to come on the market even when I know there isnt something there. Not sure how long I can hold out its been a long couple of months already!
Spin would be the right word Andy…I think it would look horrified at a mention of a corner.You don't fancy giving it a spin around Llandow then ?
I'd be willing to give it ago AndySpin would be the right word Andy…I think it would look horrified at a mention of a corner.

Think the only car I didn't spin there was the little Honda Civic EK9 VTech.
