This seller can probably afford to import several more from the proceeds of his item 180157997746, a $33,100 1991 spider previously discussed here and item 180157934537, a $32,100 Triumph TR250. I met the buyer of the 91 and suggested that model based on his stated desires in an Alfa the day before he bid, but the selling price on both cars still astounds me. Some folks out there have more of the US monopoly money than they can spend in one lifetime I guess.I think these pristine unrestored cars from Europe are rare; many cars that came from Europe over the years were either fully, expensively restored or quickie cosmetic jobs on questionable bodies. Northern European weather is not so friendly.

The way all 4 sales should be presented IMO.
FALSE: Still a lot in Italy...just look at www.ebay.it but ebay is a small part of the real market...I think these pristine unrestored cars from Europe are rare; Andrew
True for cars from Germany ,Switzerland and Netherland. All the best cars from Italy are there by now !!... many cars that came from Europe over the years were either fully, expensively restored

TRUE for cars from Italy (most) Spain, Portugal and France. Value is nearly half compared to Germany and Netherland so people don't want to invest the money. hence the 'cosmetic job' tendency...... many cars that came from Europe over the years were either fully, expensively restored or quickie cosmetic jobs
