Yep, enjoy it while you can but don't be surprised if a buyer comes along and bites your arm off.

After all, how many are on the market worldwide right now and how much would it cost to have an all alloy replica built?

Mine took about a week to attract its first serious offers from the ebay classified, which peaked at about £5.5k less than the asking price. Two European dealers were also negotiating offers around the £20k mark when I was offered the asking price less the cost of transporting it, which I figured was a pretty acceptable offer.

A week after I waved goodbye to my Spyder, the ad appeared in Octane. Over the next two months I received quite a lot of interest from overseas buyers, at least four of whom were absolutely gutted that it had sold already when they made contact.

I was lucky in that I didn't need to sell it and loved it so much that I was perfectly happy to turn down offers and keep on driving it indefinitely. I'm guessing that you might just be in the same barchetta.

Good luck!
