To update my own post, I contacted the Miami Auto Museum earlier this year and the car is still for sale. They didn't say how much but they did invite me to go and view it (not really an option for me).

Following the record price paid for Roger Moore's Aston Martin DBS from The Persuaders!, the latest edition of Classic & Sports Car magazine has an article on the value of famous cars.

"For Emma Peel's Lotus Elans from
The Avengers (a white S2, missing presumed
dead, or a blue S3) you would be looking at a
reasonable-sounding £40-60,000. We say reasonable
because even stock models are getting close to those
heights."

Roger Moore's Persuaders car sold for over £500'000. I remember a figure of around £80k 'The Cars Of The Stars' museum roughly 10 years ago as an estimate for Emma's Lotus Elan.

Very lovely retro-style comic artwork there. Thanks for posting it, Ian. Is the whole comic book/strip in that style?

If I'd bought it, I'd offer rides to fellow "The Persuaders!" fans at reasonable prices - could be a good living to be made from that!

Would you give discounts to the ones who showed up wearing Tony Curtis driving gloves?

Especially if they washed their hands whilst wearing them

That's a point though - where is Danny Wilde's car these days? Take them down to the Riviera and have a race!

I'd bring my own bucket and wash them on the spot.

I don't know what's become of the Ferrari, but I was just wondering that myself. It'd be wonderful to see them in action side by side again.

Have you got Danny's actual driving gloves? *swoons*

Sadly not. I wish I did!
