I'm with you Steve. By contrast, 8Ma1200 looks really nice. I seriously considered that car when it was for sale in Montreal and had the vendor send me a slew of photos of it. It was easily the nicest Mangusta I had ever seen (in photos...). It really looked like it had been properly and thoroughly restored (with minor mods as Denis notes). Unfortunately the price was way more than my budget. Still is, but for that kind of money I know which of those two cars I would choose.
