It always makes me wonder when I read these for sale ads why some of the stuff done on the car was done? For example, it said it was restored in 1989 by Kirkham and only driven 40 miles all the way through 2005 if I read it correctly. From 2005 until now, there is no mention of mileage, but considering the value, I highly doubt anybody put 40k hard miles on it and/or left it in the rain. So then Canepa mentions they did another complete restoration. I really wonder what was wrong with the car that it needed another complete restoration? Is this just becoming a buzz word to inflate the price? I think some of these rare cars had more spent on restorations than the car is actually worth. Add in the fact that a lot of people like the look of a car that has actually been driven and you really begin to scratch your head.
