Hanno,
Yes, assume it is the one pictured.
I get the feeling, in asking me if the $200k is a good price, they do not
have any idea of where to price it, to start a dialog with a serious
collector.
It's appearance lends to the idea that it is in top condition, if so, could
it be valued at $200k to a real collector?
Or, is that so high as to be out of line?

You said "it is practically impossible to put a reasonable value on it" and
that is kind of what I found in trying to do just that.
But they want to sell it, and to say it's "priceless" does make that a bit
hard.
I haven't even found how many could still be running, or if this is the only
one.

I'm going to throw this back to the list, and hope "it's not priceless".

Rikk,

Over here in Holland we say "it's worth whatever a fool wants to pay". Is it
the exact BT7 as pictured? A BT7, let alone a properly restored running one,
is very rare of course. Because of its rarity it is not possible to
establish an average price like we can for Jeeps, Beeps & Jimmies. I'd say
it is practically impossible to put a reasonable value on it. Is that BT7
worth $200,000 USD to YOU? Do you have the money? Then buy it...

Cheers,
Hanno Spoelstra
