I just found original Italian papers for a pantera, the original papers as the car was the test car for the factory, and the car is for sake today, without ant documentation...
What the value then of the docs ?


For me? NOTHING, $ zero

The papers will not remove a gram of rust from the car, will not remove a micron from cylinders wear, will not restore flexibility to rubbers and plastics or gloss to paint. I would even say that they are worthless to the car because a factory test car suffers a lot and the body had to wear a lot and lose a lot of stiffness.


BUT, if a speculator, who will store the car without ever driving with it, agrees to pay the car twice as much if it has the papers, then they are worth a quarter of the price of the car.

But my opinion has no value, I am only an old engineer who has understood nothing and still believes that cars, even old and quite rare, are made to run....

Finally yes, I understand the interest you have in defending the value of papers since it is your buziness and you're right since people buy them.
