Fascinating. A P80 won Best In Show at an IPD event. I'm shocked by both the price and the condition. Reminds me to put some time in to restoring my T5M instead of limping along with 400k mile N/A Geronimo.

Since nothing in my fleet was of interest, maybe this is what you're looking for.

I will be shocked if it goes for less than $12k.

I’m going to say 2x that, 24k
Hammered at $19xxx

Yea I mean that car has quite a lot of provenance. The thing I've been struggling with is it seems like a lot of p80 owners don't understand how expensive paint work is these days. Maybe it has to do with the demographic of owners being older and remembering cheaper times or something. A full repaint from a quality shop is $10k+, so you're almost better off buying a car with a blown engine than clear coat issues.

You can do a 3 meter job yourself , if you have a spot, for about 2k. Harbor Fright gun, and a long weekend. Get an expert on speed dial and pay them, to take you through setup.

This isn’t rocket science.

If you take fenders doors, hoods off and carry it in, the price will drastically fall.
