    AND it has the “Race Aluminium Gear Leaver” (sic). I actually get a bit nervous when gears leave the car..didn’t realise it was a value enhancing feature.

    I shouldn’t be mean, but sometimes I can’t help myself...

    I also had a chuckle at that. Well I guess it will just sit there unsold for a while before they realise, if they ever do realise.

    When you buy one of these, you want to make sure you buy it from an expert like the one who wrote the description on Pistonheads.

    Quite so. Clearly they are an expert in the field to have identified the "Special Edition Pininfarini Type (F1 33) Special Edition Only made in 2000!!!" (sic) because its existance has entirely escaped the notice of the "so-called" experts on here.

    I wonder if the dealer is a crook or an idiot or both.

    Salvage titles are always a great favorite.

    Just looked in my garage and I have an F1 33, too, only mine says 575M on the back and has real F1. Wonder if she is even rarer than this one?

    The good news is that the special edition car with the race aluminium gear leaver has now “sold”. In my head, I am doubling the value of my car ..

    I’m guessing it was bought by Mr Knowan-There of Magicville.

    Yes, that 3,445 miler had a pretty corroded underside ie, wishbones, anti-roll bars etc. As were the wheels. Not totally shot, but somewhat more than I'd expect on a properly stored car of that mileage and would need dealing with to be commensurate with 3,445 miles.. And the passenger window didn't close as the door did. And boy, all the black interior 'rubbers' that could possible go sticky were totally shot! And probably a few others also. Body was pretty good, however........ And it was on a NI plate........... So once it sailed past £80k (ie, £92k after everything), I lost interest.

    I understand that the owner found himself in a position that he had no option but to sell.......

    My 550 is forsale for a BILLION dollars.

    It has the rare 6 speed manual gearbox
    It has the rare Connolly leather interior and it is the ultra rare aluminum body version.

    I reserve the right to end this sale by end of day today.

    Bon von, jon! Suppose, just suppose, you were offered ONE-HALF of a trillion dollars for your unbezahlbar 550 prior to the end of day today?

    Since my wife told me I had to sell my car and therefore offered it up at what I thought was a price that no one would pay for my “ultra rare” 550 and you have offered an actual, seemingly “fair” offer as you are obviously aware of the jewel of a specimen that my 550 is, I should say then that the “actual” sale price is $1 trillion dollars, and therefore your offer is far short and I’m afraid I must decline.
    Thank you for your consideration.

    My wife would never make me sell my car. I would never sell it.
