Then there is the colour ...
One did sell at auction for £19,244 recently with just 2,500 miles on the clock, in the same colour (the seller would have got about 4k less). That gives you some idea of the depreciation rate of your 35k if you were to drive it!

Surely this car is not for the ordinary buyer wishing to drive a nice V8. It has rarity value which only a collector would recognise. I suspect it is targeted at such a potential buyer. Whether such a buyer exists, who knows?
Personally, I love the colour - Platinum Gold is my favourite for a 75.
I would love a V8 but would only spend £30k+ on a car if I had won this amount or my shares doubled in price etc. Then I would buy this

I do feel that it would be a shame if this one-off 75 V8 was not aimed at an exclusive buyer with a price to match its exclusivity and I feel that the seller has got it right.
