Not mine.
Interesting cars with FE.
They are asking for 345K.
They are handsome exotics.

I have no idea what a real market value price is for a AX Frua ?

The right hand steer, to me anyway, lessons the value of the car.
I wonder if RHD cars, no matter what make or model, bring less money on average than their counterpart ??????
Florida saac, I too believe it is a very nice design.
There is a Ferrari that was built maybe around 67, that had the same qrts that rise a bit.
This is a 1968 model year car, I wonder if that is a 428 police Interceptor engine ?

They are so rare that one can likely ask any price they want and wait it out?

The vehicle description does call the 428 a PI but it isn't really known if it is a figurative or literal description. To some it may matter but if you are not the buyer it is just irrelevant criticism. It is what it is, not what anyone else thinks that it should be.

Design is a relative thing. I personally find the design dated and very stuffy, but so do I on the 007 Aston Martin. Again, that doesn't matter much since I'm not a collector and definitely not in that kind of a market?

There are those vehicles that are rare, unique and likely very valuable but when it comes down to it are not really very good cars and never were to begin with.
