I'm sure i've seen this SZ for sale before:
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C373194
However it's now with a classic car dealer and whilst I wouldn't expect them to know everything about an SZ, this particular paragraph made me laugh:
The body's radical shape was controversial from the start, the resulting furore only serving to further increase demand for this 600 or so run. Prices for the car at the time peaked at over £200,000. The airy cabin featured Zagato's trademark double bubble roof and the square headlights and split rim Speedlines were right up to date.
Clearly zero research has been done and judging by the roof comments I wonder if they have even looked at the car! |

This car was auctioned last week in the Coys spring classic auction.
I don't know what it went for.
Pre sale estimate was 13 to 18000 Pounds.

BTW what I forgot: it was sales lot number 140
Furthermore, the text in the new advertisement by Godin Banks is exactly the same as the text in de Coys sale.
Lazy seller syndrome ??
