What kind of shitty car museum is that? Pimp-colored RRC between a W208 CLK and a R107 380 SL.... all covered with trash bags.
This guy's a jack-ass. If he can't be bothered to pull it out into the natural world for good pictures, he can't be bothered to sell it.

So you slap some paint on a four thousand dollar truck and it's worth 54K?
I'm not a purist so I don't see the value in some of the asking prices for these vehicles.
How much heat will I receive for that comment?

If it were a pristine museum quality mint condition vehicle I could see it being worth money. It has been devalued by that paint job.
Using a handy-dandy online inflation calculator, I figured out that a brand-new Range Rover that cost $38,000 in 1994 (that might not be right, but it's in the ballpark) would cost $63,000 in 2017 dollars to drive it off the dealership lot with fewer than 50 miles on it.
So to charge the equivalent of 86% of the inflation-adjusted retail price for a car that is many miles away from retail condition is a highly ambitious request.

To paraquote a very compelling ad "Candy, super clean, stunning, best candy painter, museum."
All words that make me want to overpay.

IIRC, a brand-new LWB was between 55 and 60k in 1995 dollars. Having bought a 6-year-old one for $7k was a coup.
OTOH, I bought a 3-year-old LR4 with 17kmi in 2013 roughly for the same amount of money (numerically, non-inflation-adjusted) as I bought a 3-year-old D1 in 1999 with 40kmi.
Rovers are getting far cheaper.
He would have to PULL IT OUT to get it outside.
The odds of that thing running are very slim.
What a beautiful specimen, though.
Jinky hood, missing crush can covers, missing fog light, looks like it's sitting tilted but that might just be the hood.
To the good, the front seats look like they're in better condition than the drivers' seat was on my '01 P38.
