Re: IML: Agreed value figures

Hi Tom,


Well, there is a 60 for sale right now on Ebay!
A wonderful purple Crown Southampton, the opening bid is $14000 and the
buy now price is a whopping $20K...
The one on Ebay looks like a #2 car to me so let us wait for 5 days and
see if it sells and for how much :)

Makes me realize again that I have loads of luck last summer in buying me
a beautiful 60 Crown for only $8300 !!

Good luck,

Robert
