    Someone just emailed me offering the P4/5... is there any truth to this car being for sale? If so I have a collector client who would be interested. I'm told that Jim frequents this site, so I figure that someone has insight on this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Depends... did the seller specify the scale of the car?

    Jim ain't gonna sell it. He'll continue driving it as much as possible and tweaking it as the years and miles go by.

    I believe he has stated that he will never sell the car and will pass it down to his children.

    the email said if I wired $5,000 that the king of nigeria would send me $50,000,000 and a P4/5 for my efforts... just kidding. it was offered by a "broker" (which is being kind), for $2,000,000. I couldn't imagine the car ever being for sale but I figured that I'd check it out. Delusions of Grandeur from a worthless broker is my conclusion.

    Are you sure that he didn't just want to borrow it "as needed"?

    LOL !!! Considering that Napolis stated it was a $5MM build including the initial Enzo I doubt it.

    Is MDM Eurotics back in business ?

    I don't even know Jim, but I believe he's said here many times that he will never sell the car and that Pininfarina will not honor requests for copies of the car.

    Yes. I believe James said the royal saudi family got in touch with pininfarina wanting to buy 9 of them and were turned down..probably for the first time in their life :)

    Just got off the phone with a real estate broker, it seems that Alaska is for sale again. Only a second time in the last 300 years!

    Rob: perhaps some of us can be forgiven for wondering how you could have missed Napolis (& others) making it abundantly clear that this car will never be sold. Ever. Im surprised a thread was made...

    Rob, actually i see here a nice material for a good laugh. if by taking 5 minutes of your time you can bait that scam-broker, it could be funny as hell.

    A good laugh yes. Crazy that someone elses one off car could possibly come up for sale in things like this, stupid world we live in!

    The car is worth well over $2M, I would hazard a guess at between $4M and $8M as the right buyer would definitely be out there.

    I doubt Jim would ever sell though, its probably part of him now.
