    Just to clarify, if it was #837 then it is unlikely to have had the widescreen downgraded to the Symphony radio. So it's probably not #837.

    Widescreen was not a factory fit option.

    Agree. Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure too that it's NOT #837, which I imagine is nicely tucked up in bed in Luxembourg still!
    Pointless trying to second-guess it until I can actually see it (if I can) in a couple of weeks time.

    Been there, done that. It is in fact #827 from Belgium. Not (yet??) imported into Holland but lurking away in the Classic Park "collection" showroom in Boxtel, Holland. Nicer in the photos than in real life, but not bad. A clean and polish before putting it in the showroom would have been sensible? I've seen a lot better; like my #829, a few hours between as they left the track. The car has gained 5000 euros in 'value' since it left Belgium in the last couple of months!

    This is indeed #827, it was for sale in Belgium not a long ago. A friend of mine went to see that car as he's been looking for a 75 V8 for some time, and eventually decided not to buy it at the advertised price. The seller at the time wouldn't drop the price, which I reckon was necessary considering the amount of rust lurking underneath in almost all areas.
    Unless this rust and corrosion has been taken care of, I see no reason for the price to be what it is now.

    Pictures below were taken by my friend when he went to see the car, this was last January.

    So it wasn't just me being over critical, then. Your photos indicate lots more rust than my #829. Mine looks a bunch pretttier too !
