Just spent a few minutes browsing the for sale section of Piston Heads, a website I am not familiar with. I thought it was a forum-style marketplace but is more like Autotrader with cars from dealers. Or am I getting mixed up with Retro Rides?

The guy who lived opposite us back in 1984 owned a Trevi. He part ex'd a 1979 Alfa GTV (he got a grand for it) that was already terminally rotten.

Reliability really wasn't a concern for him as he worked away at sea as a chief engineer in the merchant navy and he was usually banned anyway. At an early age, he taught me the value of keeping a duplicate driving licence for hiring cars away from home when disqualified.

It's probably worth 28,950 pennies in my opinion.

I had guessed 5k. I reckon because they rust like fuck, they must be rare.
Rust is an advantage now?
