>>>Hilarious.   This is a really neat car, although I see it has lost its 
original wheels.   When I saw it at the factory it had 15x9 and 15x11 wheels, 
whereas this appears to have standard Mangusta wheels.   I wonder when/why 
that changed?

Come to think of it, when I saw it in Modena in 2009 it had these later 
wheels on it too.

I know this car has struggled to sell for many, many years, with various 
low six-figure asking prices.   So why not shoot for a nice fat seven-figure 
price instead? :>)
