sounds awesome - value 
that would be what someone else with the cash was prepared to pay for it. Always a difficult one and usually found out through a specialist auction type thing.

It's obviously a collectors... so if you buy it don't drive it or it will devalue and ruin one of the few immaculate 22Bs left... but if you don't drive it then what's the point?

The point is, it stays in top condition. It's the guy's money so he can do what he wants with it. 
If I wanted and bought a 22B, I'd also park it up and never drive it. Having 3 of them would be amazing, haha.

Why would you want 3 22B's? Please don't misunderstand me I'd love one, but I'd use it daily like it was intended to be used. Cars as investments rarely work out.

Buy the one with 250 miles on it to replace the (dare I say it) worst of the other two, as I assume that would be the best lowest milage one of the three.... then sell either one, or indeed both of the others depending on your thoughts and feelings about what you need or want the rest of the money to be used for. Me thinks you will always have one 22B so why not have the newest lowest milage one in the country !!!!
Out of curiosity what miles are on your other two ????? As for valuing..... thats a real hard one to answer. Depends how many people are wanting the thing which is now impossible to get. But I'd imagine you would have to dig quite deep. Ha !
BTT.... its a nice predictiment to be in. Always had a soft spot for these cars.....
Infact my old car .......

That's what I'd be suggesting to be honest.
Sell the two that are 'more' common (ie excellent condition, but used lowish mileage examples) to buy one that's probably the newest/lowest mileage almost unused example around..
Nice dilemma to be in
Or sell both and place an order for a GTR..

any bidders over 40 pm me and Ill ask the kid who owns it not for me 2 is enough and I don't see the difference in price for the miles I don't think it will go up in price for along time,I bidded 42 for this car about 4 years ago through some one and they only bid him 35 so they would have had a nice drink if he said yes

Hard one with that mileage - I would say if you bought it and drove it, as soon as it got up to a few thousand miles it would be worth half what you paid. Really something like that if it is completely mint should be bought by Subaru to use as a show car or put in the foyer of their head office.
Reminds me of something that happened a couple of years ago. A local carpet company went bust, and when the liquidators were clearing the building they found an XJ220 with delivery miles in a room there. Apparently the owner of the business had bought it when it came out as an investment, and had kept it stored there in its own room and never moved it.
How would you value a car like that ? The value is in the fact its never been driven, so you couldnt drive it and would have to just use it for display.

were they not changing hands for 40k (brand new imports) when they first came out ?
if so then 40k copuld be considered "cheap" when you take into account inflation and all that other crap?
