Not to bash your car, but for that money, it should be perfect (i.e. paperwork, matching number engine, transaxle, all Mangusta componentry). It should also be restored to as new condition with no resto mods done to it; otherwise you will have to find the right person that wants a car exactly like this one -- many take a long time to sell in other words.
I've been there, done that (i.e. spent a lot of dough on a car, and find out it is not worth what I think it is......). But hey, you never know and I wish you all the best.
