Saw this on EBay this evening

An optimistic price, I think, but it will be interesting to see how it does.

Yes, I saw that one too.
Nobody's going to pay anything like that much. You wonder, did the vendor not see the much better red one that's unsold at £18k? & cream leather was a terrible choice for the dashboard retrim.

Not a 504 either as it was converted to manual

Saw this advertised on the December issue of Classic and Sports cars magazine.

Looks like some people are recognising the potential of the 504.

Beautiful indeed, particularly as 'original paint'
Being cracked, crazed and totally different 'sheens' back and front, I hope to remove, repair, paint my bumpers in 2024. Those on this car look closer to gloss than I've seen before. Prior to this I was thinking something between matt and satin, these look more between satin and gloss. Anyone know what they were like originally? From the colour sales brochure I have it is difficult to see.

Maybe they look so glossy because of all the polishing? I've always assumed they should be satin as well.

I noticed the reflection of the number plate.
I'm sure satin black originally so my guess is the bumpers have had a tidy up at some point ( be amazed if a car can get to that age without some minor marks to bumpers).
