Any Flamina experts out there?

Would probably still end up costing twice as much as buying a decent one in the first place!  Something for the brave or uber talented methinks.

so is the one at RTCC reasonable value at 15,000?seems ok for such a car.i think it has many plus points for anyone who cannot do everything.best regards richard

Hard to say. As a "casual" observer who has researched a bit over the past weeks I would say if it was being sold by a private buyer, the Thorne car would be fairly priced at £12k or so. What appear to be nice one's in Italy are around 15k euros. Ok, so that translates to not far off £15k by the time you get them back to the UK but it gives a comparison.

If you take the Montecarlo being sold by RT at £9k. Imagine this selling for around £7k absolute tops anywhere else, and you get the picture. It is featured in one of the classic car mags this month as cars for sale being reviewed - supposed to be a very nice one - the Monte that is.

...asking and sale prices from dealers are not always the same...

In particular keep in mind that a dealer often is only representing the owner of a car for sale. Once serious interest surfaces then it becomes worth having the serious discussions.

Who knows what that car at RTCC might be teased away for?

I saw the same and thought the same.  I also wondered if that 1K Appia project went.
