Alfa Romeo SZ (ES30)

[DBesic@domain.elided]

To our friends across the big pond -

I've been enamored with the SZ (aka "il Mostro") ever since they were introduced in 1989 and was truly annoyed they were never offered in the U.S. I had given up the possibility of ever owning one until this past weekend when a friend had enlightened me about the "once-in-a-lifetime" exemption available when importing non-certified cars.  Suddenly my imagination went into overdrive.  Hmm... 210HP 3.0L V6, 0-100km/h in 7.0 secs, top speed of 275 km/h, composite body... it just boggles the mind.

I realize that something like only 1036 SZ's were ever built and they are considered somewhat collectible.... but just for giggles, do they ever come up for sale and what seems to be the going rate for an above-average specimen?  There seems to be a higher concentration of registered SZ's in England, Netherlands and Germany, with a handful spread around the rest of the world (EXCEPT the U.S!)  Any assistance would be most appreciated by me, (although you may cause my wife great anxiety.)
