Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Not a Ferrari but a Stag

I have a friend near me who has a not pristine but not too shabby  
Stag, manual - with also a hardtop - up for sale for 3.5K pounds.  
Running fine but needs a bit of cosmetic stuff. I've driven it and  
it's fine. I think your prices are a bit optimistic mate.
