In my opinion this is a very compelling opportunity — even at the estimated price level, it represents excellent value. Realistically, I suspect the final hammer price could land below €100,000, which only makes the deal more attractive.
Here’s why I think it’s a standout proposition:
-
Future potential — in two years’ time, a well-preserved Z8 could realistically be valued at around €250,000, if not more.
-
Rarity and desirability — very few were made, and while demand was modest for a long time, appreciation among true enthusiasts is growing.
-
Driving experience — this is a real driver’s car. Many owners of high-performance cars will tell you it’s something special — a visceral, analog experience that you just don’t get in modern machines.
-
Engineering highlights — the heart of an E39 M5 (S62) and a manual gearbox make this one of the most engaging cars from its era.
-
The James Bond connection might turn heads, but the real value lies in the unique combination of performance, styling, and mechanical purity — not the movie tie-in.
Bottom line: Take it, don’t hesitate.
