Yeah I look every day here in France and get numerous email alerts but I'm not spending that amount of coin myself.
We have a guy like Richard Grace here and he sells them easily all over Europe.

Still, at 40K euros, a mint 4200, low milage car, name me a more attractive car at that price?

I agree and loved both the 4200 cc that I've had and done some amazing road trips in both in Europe and New Zealand.
After doing the Alpine Tour with my brother in his Lancia Fulvia my next purchase will be one too.
Perfect size and amount of power that you can have the Best driving Fun ever and now I'm into my 60's I want more of that.

More will be made broken for spares I would imagine.
Guy on YouTube has just done this with his hydrolocked 4200 which he bought back from the insurance company to break.

Actually nearly 9k in parts at time of video, excluding the engine in this case.
Which is quite frightening really, as many fully functioning cars are worth probably more in parts. Excluding labour to break of course.

Conversely, that means there's a demand for used spares; that may be cost driven or simply due to nla, but it does show enthusiasm for 4200's and rightly so.

I'm thinking of ideas all the time but rhd here is a very limited market of people.
My Ms French doesn't like being a passenger in our Porsche Boxster and doesn't want to drive it.
It's an odd one as I had a few LHD cars over the years in the UK and didn't bother me once.
The Biggest problem now is bringing a car in from a non Eu country since Brexit.

I'm not bothered about LHD but importing from the UK for anything under 30 years is just a big no no, the import duties and VRT the revenue are applying are ridiculous
