Yes I do! But, it is only money... I'll scrap the 1750 Berlina and while 
I am at it, why not scrap the Giulia Spider Veloce and the 2600 Zagato 
as well... let go for something REALLY worthwhile... 

Anybody who knows a 8C 2900 for sale that needs a light cosmetic 
restoration? Shouldn't be too expensive as I wanna make a buck on it...

What I mean is: go for something that is fun and that is within your 
financial reach. When it is your first just be prepared to lose money on 
it as whatever car you choose, it is probably the wrong car to start 
with anyhow and you won't have all the required skills to do the job 
properly.

Any prospective buyer will see if it was a professional restoration job 
or an amateur's first... better not start on that 8C 2900 but take 
something "lighter" as a starter.

Everything is relative and when everybody would only go for financially 
secure restorations, we won't see a single 164 on the roads anymore in 
10 years from now... (ooooops!).

Ciao!
