I had a white 1967 Brazilian model like this when I was 16 and in Std 9. It was my first car. My old man paid my girlfriends old man R800 for it. I sold it for 4k a few years later when I started my first job, to buy a used Ford Laser. The only thing cooler was my 1957 Ford which I sold a few years ago. Yes I still drive nails into my kneecaps when I see the ludicrous prices today. I love the retro shape but I'd never pay that kind of money for a 1600 VW powered vehicle. The VWorsche versions, well now you're talking.

I think she's an early 80's model

The value of something (be it art or a bicycle) is something I find interesting:

 

A Picasso painting is valuable, not for its physical properties of canvas and paint, or even for the picture. It is valuable because of the ideas Picasso introduced to the artistic world. It is valuable for the further ideas it sparked in others and for the whole modernist art movement that followed. It is valuable because there are only a finite number of works and because the day will come when none will be for sale. That will be when the big galleries have bought up all the Picassos now in private collections and that day is not too many decades away. It is valuable because the Picasso name became an icon!

I reckon that it gets most of it's value from the dick measuring contest participated in by those who want to buy it.

exactly, and while $54m is a lot of money to normal people, it's no big deal to a billionaire . Since it is not a thing that is bought and sold at a set price the dollar value is quite a subjective thing.

 

which is how someone made about $40m by keeping this next to his desk for 7 years
