How to store your 310k car ...

What do you DO with a Z you bought for $31?,???.??? Value is based purely on originality and low miles (and what two people thought it was worth). No provenance or celebrity history, no handcrafted limited edition, no purpose-built version like a 432-R. The buyer has zero history on BAT, having joined this month like they came with a purpose. It will be interesting to see if there's any more story to this -- heading to Japan or the Middle East as a trinket for the idle rich?

Ya gotta rub it in?
