As far as I know, the early C had the full bumper and full wheel trims, but was later downgraded to metal bumper and hub caps. EDIT - This video is all about a slightly later 1.1C and the rear bumper is discussed at around 14 minutes in. MorrisItalSLX 1

Probably about 50 grand. I remember when Hexagon were trying to sell the Z8s when those were new. They started at eighty grand, later going to eighty-six grand. Some of those were on the books for a very long time, to the extent that you could at one stage have had one for sixty grand and Hexagon would have fallen over themselves to hand it over to you. Nowadays, things are much changed, and Z8s are more like £150,000.....
