yeah but if you check the date on the add you will see most of them are a few years ago. Probably sold now.

Hi All, where else should I be looking for a 550? Im new to spyders and replicas so not sure what to look out for or where to look.

I did have a Factory RHD 356 I had to sell the wreckage of my 356 and all its parts. Long story which I will tell if contacted. Im down to my last pennies but would like to stay involved in the scene some how.

f*** .. that sounds terrible.

If its now all 'out there' in court docs etc it might be worth telling the story on here to warn others ... might even be like a DDK therapy session :bigsmurf:

Yes it was terrible and quite heart breaking to have to hand over all the parts and to arrange collection of the damaged shell to the new owner after 15 years of ownership and over £45k of investment. Once the dust has settled.........
