    Thanks to Brexit, and a very low GBP/USD, I am the proud owner of F40 80963! 1989 Euro, non cat, non adjust, 7k miles. Full owner and service history, Classique certified. Thanks Harvey at DK Engineering, absolute pleasure to deal with.
    The site wont let me post pics..I have used my memory and can't seem to delete old attachments! Anyway, its red!

    Nice! How much did you pay for it? Is Cars Europe handling the shipping?

    A very polite way of addressing the issue my friend. :)

    I would have said it another way, but I like how you did it better.

    although the question was asked very bluntly, we would probably all want to know. it is a valuable data point in the market for us - i think most people on this thread are owners, so its not as if we are in some way jealous or being voyeurs.

    i too would love to know what the market price is. were we to have met in person, i would have asked you too. :)

    I'd rather not say exactly, but my advice to anyone looking to add to their collection is to watch the euro and GBP, and buy cars on the dip. Most sellers don't adjust their prices to reflect the strong dollar, which to me makes no sense when you have an international market product. Nonetheless, my car was priced in Pounds Sterling and they did not raise the price when the Pound went from $1.50 to $1.21! Last year when the Euro went from $1.35 to $1.09, I acquired a Porsche 964 Carrera RS NGT in Dussledorf under similar circumstances. Tom Cotter, in his book, The Hemi in the Barn, called me the "internet barn finder"!
