The point is, what is a restored one worth?.. and what's the restoration cost?... potential profit? :?

Before having seen this - I'd have said a fully restored dino would be in the £70-80k bracket. I may be wrong, but if I'm right, someone stands to lose £££££££££ :shock:

restorations never make profit, 9 times out of 10 you loose money and lots of it, not so long ago you could get a good one for that sort of money.

Perhaps he's not buying to sell. If I had a billion zillion dollars I'd buy it and do it up :)

I love Dino's though.

Check out this thread about a guy in San Diego restoring his:

There was one in a garage in bits on a Dukes Pass run when we stopped off to check directions in a village, somewhere. It was the orange exige S outside on the runway that cought the out attention at first. And the mint S1 in the garage, and the 350z next to the exige......

The owner didn't seem too bothered about coming out a run.

One of my all time fave cars the Dino.

At 38k plus restoration i'd say it was madness or dreaming, nice dream though.
