Sorry but if that was miine I'd have to take it for a spin before I sold it.  Love to keep it but imagine the cost of insurance.  I guess the £millions will help resore the Aston and E-Type though :)

Funny, the auctioneer knew about the car for a couple of years :-k so it was hardly forgotten about

I know of a Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer which has been parked up (inside) since the late 1970's.  There is a (very) remote chance I might one day be able to get my hands on it, but could I afford to restore/run it?

A 512? The engine alone would cost 5 figures to have professionally rebuilt!

...so....

.....could I afford to restore/run it?

...the answer would be no then  :lol: 

I don't think there is anything wrong with it as such, it was just parked up one day when it was just a year or two old and then never used again, so the engine might be OK.  Who am I kidding, even if it did come to me (and the chance it would is very remote), I bet even doing simple repairs would be painfully expensive and so beyond me.

I suspect the Bug was owned by a family that was 'above average wealth' to start with, given the company that Grandad kept ;)
