This particular car was for sale in the UK for a long time. It finally sold for a good bit less than it's being advertised for now, was shipped to the US, and almost immediately offered on eBay, where it got no bids. It's been back at least once (this is either the 2nd or 3rd time).

The starting bid is probably fair market price but, as hot as Zagato-bodied cars are at the moment, there's a very limited market for these as the looks are very much an acquired taste. They do look better in person than in the photos, but the color and the non-stock chrome sill panels on this one don't do it any favors, IMHO. It's not shown in the eBay photos, but the rear window opens (about 1") electrically, like the Fulvia Sport (Zagato)--you can amaze the car behind you when you're stuck in traffic...

not seen the car in the metal but my gut reaction to the photos is that it looks a bit of a shed to be honest. the alloy body panels over steel chassis and frames can hide so much corrosion the colour scheme just shouts bodge to me maybe i am wrong but anyway I've seen much nicer examples. Very cranky and eccentric cars the pininfarina coupes are really much nicer the very best Flavias are usually the berlinas actually but they rather look like shoe boxes on wheels albeit rather fast ones if you can a find a late 2000ie with d jetronic
