If I had £2.98 million I think I'd locate and buy every Mitsubishi Tredia in the world and have them restored at great expense, then just keep them in an enormous dry warehouse for absolutely no reason.

I hope its gone to a good home. And by that I mean I sincerely hope it doesn't get a stupid "Pebble Beach" makeover and is preserved, made road worthy and used for going down the pub occasionally. Full story on the car in the new Classic and Sports Car with excellent photos. The interior is just fantastic.

Would a Volvo 240 glt have the same effect in 2058?

The car was expected to make £3 Million. I hope the seller wasn't too disappointed! If it had been me selling it, I'd buy every mark 1 Rover 200 left in existence and keep them in a dry warehouse...oh wait... been done.

PRE-38 IS COMING

That was my thought. If I had the money that's exactly what I'd do.

I'm sure the car has its merits, but it leaves me with absolutely no emotion at all. I have never been able to get emotional over valuable cars. It is a waste of money, and I think I'd rather invest in Hirsts perverse but no less sensible conquest to locate and store Mitsubishis blandest.

No you wouldnt!

[Richard]

No, I probably wouldn't. I'd seriously consider it if I was a pikey with a Hiab though.
