    I'll give you full credit for one prediction. Yellow 355's don't seem to be fetching prices a red one would. I don't agree with it, but I'm not the market :).

    Which begs the question, how much is one willing to pay for a car in the color they love over a car in a color they are ok with? $20-30k more sounds like a reasonable number to me, but having "settled" for a black 355 for 10 years and still find myself yearning for a red one... it feels priceless to be able to have the car you love in a color you love. So if someone was willing to pay more than a $30k premium for color, I'd understand.

    I didn't want a red one. Just figured I would color change it one day but obviously I'm not a purist.

    At the age of these cars, I figure they all need some paint work to bring them back to perfect anyway.

    Thanks! I appreciate that take and will do all of that next year. Ken - want a project [emoji2956]

    Edit - paint correction can be done in a way to preserve the car without color sanding. New techniques, tools and materials. But it does take a special person and experience to carefully dance around the a grievous error. In that regard, I prefer original, but all other items - yes.

    ^ RM seems to think so. At that range due to strong $US and only if LHD, I’d be tempted to store for 3 more months in UK then ship to US under 25 year rule (DOT/EPA exempt).

    Another interesting phenomenon. Are bodyshops en masse simply to lazy to paint black the lower rear bumper vents?

    Like I said a few posts ago, these cars are becoming more and more common on BAT. Smart money is getting out???

    I don't by cars as monetary investments. They are investments in enjoying life. :)
