Market commentary
While the markets valuation of this unique and distinctive Daytona is hard to fathom, it is almost certainly going to be hard to find it a new home at anything close to the catalogs low estimate, strong Euros or not. Some will find any modification of the Daytona a sacrilege. Personally and thats how this car has to be taken I find it an intriguing and generally attractive exaggeration of the basic Daytona.
