Didn't look closely at it, but seems like the asking price was around $12,000 in the first ad from a few months ago, now I think it's listed at $20,000! Won't "swear" to it, but seems like that's what it was.

One of the things I find interesting about the 308, is that the early ones had fiberglass bodies, then they changed to stamped steel. The fiberglass bodied cars are now worth more than the later steel bodied ones!

Any way you look at it, it's a great looking design, and a classic for sure.

Like I said earlier, if it were within my means to own one, I already would.

You know....I DID know about Robin's Keep in GB, but not about another "Nest" in Italy.......if you pay attention...you can learn something new every day! :lol:

Well, if I can't have a 308 I think I could settle for (a red) one of these :lol:

Where's that "thumbsup" smiley.....again.....? :lol:



If you can find me a 308 in Italy for the same money I can buy a Mera for here.....we'll swap! :magnum:

I know...I know....IF you could find a 308 for the same money I could get a Mera for....YOU'D be driving it!

I saw recently where they (nice 308's) have started to "take-off" price wise....what you could buy for $30 to $50K two years ago, might cost you upwards of $75 now!

I've seen real nice examples with all maintenance records and low mileage bring $125K......wanna split the cost of a few lottery tickets? :lol:

Plus like I pointed out earlier, the early fiberglass bodied cars are considered more collectible/valuable than the later steel bodied cars.

WE always knew it was a classic, seems now allot more folks from the "jet-set" with cash are forming the same opinion.

Guess I'll just keep sanding on my fake! :magnum:

A few days ago here in Italy a €3.00 ticket won a €163,000,000 prize, what about that?
Each time I hear such news the first thing that comes to my mind is always the same:"To think that with less than $10,000,000 I could have bought the Robin's Nest!" (the one in Hawaii :wink: )
