Certainly looks it. Is a perfect one even worth that much?

Those seats remind me of something.......ah yes Battenburg cake.

I've seen the car in the flesh as well and it's certainly a very clean example.

Highly personalised mods like this more often reduce values than increase them. However we all like different things and I guess someone out there will love it. Personally it's not for me and I think the price is way too high IMHO !

(I love that Porsche's interior though - that check would look great in the GLT !)
