There are two advertised on Autotrader one with Syntner and the other with Hartley but with differing mileages and prices, it would appear that they are two different vehicles the difference is in the order of 2,000 miles. Plus 8 search

The Hartley one the Radiator grille "8" is offset to the left.. It's number 1 of 50 so they possibly think it more valuable.

As today they just found another nine V8 chassis that's kind of devalued the last 50 a wee bit in the real world..

I fail to believe it is pure coincidence that these 2 of 50 "last" Anniversary models have appeared on the market by chance, these dealers have been hedging their bets to turn a profit when the market is right and that vaporised overnight.

The MMC announcement today has made them realise that the value of these will drop with the extra nine appearing on the market and as Dennis was aware of the move a month ago so these dealers may well have been aware.

I'm sure the Italian masters will be pleased with the extra income, not so pleasing for their loyal 50th Anniversary purchasers that bought them in good faith that they really were the last of the line.

I don't have a vested interest in Syntner, Hartley or MMC just stating the situation as I see it.


I do love the colour of these cars.
