Re: Does anyone else like this example?

I'm not a big fan of the 110, either. Are you bidding based on the often misleading 'Mostly original' description, or b/c you really want a 110? If you don't really like the 110..or know that much about it...or haven't driven one and fallen in love with it...then I'd personally encourage you to get some frame of reference here and not bid on perception or emotion.

We often associate the term 'Original' with 'Factory fresh' and therefore more desirable. And for sure (and as an owner of a 'Mostly original' and truly 'Fresh' car myself), originality adds to enjoyment IF it's really 'Fresh'..as in well maintained and well preserved and close to factory. Otherwise, it's often a fancy use of words designed more to distract from a lack of proper maintenance and care. Old and tired is old and tired, even though the term 'Original' might be accurate.

I'm off on a tangent here, but with regards to this car, bid on it b/c you really like the 110, not b/c you're seduced by the term 'Original'. If the model doesn't do it for you, neither will the condition.
