Most of its driving has been on long open road trips with a seriously enforced speed limit of 100 or 110 kph.

I agree it looks like a fantastic example but it is still a secondhand kit car that has covered 25000 km. Kms are always a factor in every single car that sells and the ease of which those kms are done are not always taken into account. At the end of the day if someone is prepared to pay nearly $150k for the car my argument falls flat on its face. For that money you can get a decent 355 Ferrari.
