Re: Does anyone else like this example?

Something that's no longer readily available is worth what someone is willing to pay. That notwithstanding, my comments to you about desirability of the model 110 itself are valid. Do you want a 110, or are you drawn in to this car b/c of the term 'original'? If you really want a 110 (or any car, ftm), truly original and well preserved examples command a premium, often costing more than so called 'Fully restored' examples.

In much the same way that there are different levels of "Originality" ranging from near mint to basket cases, the term 'Fully restored' also can be misleading in terms of quality and thoroughness. It's not just the terminology, it's the actual condition of the car (and the work done to it) which cannot easily be determined without a thorough evaluation.
