And straight back to market for a tidy profitRHD late Merak SS sold today for £43k +premium.

In by doing so, I’ve added 1% to the cars total mileage! It’s only done 9,950 miles from new (back in 1974).drove it 100 miles, that's brave

it is a super car to have in your collection, funny how us petrol heads get pleasure from just having something tucked away in the garage and to simply admiring them every now and then, think ive done about 200/300 miles in some of mine in the last 5/6 years and thats just travelling to and from MOT stationWent through the paperwork today.
