Is this the car that has been for sale for years at Sparks Car on the A40 going into London? Will be interesting to see what it sells for.

A lovely looking car, will be interesting to see if it goes.
They've got a Mondial T that has a servicing gap 1994-2014 and only 2088km est 50-70! Seems a bit optimistic to me or am I missing something?

Does anyone know how much the blue 456M sold for, if indeed it did sell, at the Coys auction at the Autosport Show?

£118'125 Amazing to think its been up for sale at less than £100k for years. Stick it in a auction and it goes for well over £100k

Are 456 prices suddenly going to rocket on the back of this?

They have been for a while, although this is the best that has come to market. Romans currently have a 456M GTA for sale at about £80k. again low mileage but automatic which tend to command less money.

I've considered doing a full restoration on my car for a while now. Suddenly its become financially worthwhile!

I wouldn't base that on the sale of an ultra-low mile example. Check out the relatively low prices achieved on the 308s sold at the same auction. To fully restore a 308 is north of £40k.
