Cool.  Is it electric?  :P  :stick:
Opposite.

Yes it is a dealer trade for a customer here.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Sold at a steep discount I assume?

These things stickered for $208,800.  :o

Production was limited to 300 worldwide. A truly rare beast of a car.

So far, right up there with the Lambo Diablo and Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio.

Such a beast.

And no, no discount that I am aware of.

That's very cool Chaos.  Sounds like you're getting a lot of opportunities to fondle some very nice units at the Jag dealership.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Years ago I saw one on the 40 between Montreal and Quebec City - so there's at least one on this side of the pond.

Probably wont be driven much, sadly. Collectors item, already has 99km on it, and rumored the buyer is OB Prestige. The car is going into a collection and staying there most likely.
