Sorry it didn’t reach the price you’d hoped. On the other hand, you cold say that whatever it has depreciated in the 3 years the car has been finished, would be much less than the depreciation on a similar priced BMW, Ferrari or Lamborghini or any other exotic.

To all, I would suggest never purchasing a polished finish!!! It’s a nightmare and a rip off. It never looked good and as soon as you touch it there are scratches.
The car is no longer mine so I can now speak the truth. Paint it!
The cars are wonderful works of art, but a polished body or stripes are a nightmare. All the best to the Kirkhams, they are truly artists, but I would never order or pay 16k for a polished finish again!!!
