Actually, I saw a slew of Pegasos at Pebble Beach a few years ago when
they were the featured marque. I say, "a slew", meaning maybe
half-a-dozen, but less than 50 were ever built, if I recall correctly.
The Spanish government at the time was persuaded to subsidize a truck
manufacturer's ambition to create a high-performance exotic. Very wild
styling on most of them. Definitely worth big bucks as a collectible....
although you wonder about the likelihood of finding a buyer among casual
web surfers.
