World’s best Highline?

I wonder if Ross Harris is the new owner?

While I agree to a certain extent, what somebody said earlier is relevant too, that a couple of months sitting outside in Brighton will have it reduced to the same level as almost every other six - rotten.

I think that it's valuable to keep cars like this in ORIGINAL unrestored condition, just to show how superbly engineered and built they actually were (if we can ignore Karmann's contributions).  There are hundreds and hundreds of good Highlines about that the enthusiast can buy and enjoy driving and maybe restore over time. 

There are very few that he can use as a reference point.

Maybe ill see that white one up for sale in 2050 when im old and grey, when there will only be that and a certain red M6 in existance, and fuel will be £50 a liter!

I think someone need to post some pictures just to remind us
