Original RX8 Framed Artwork that came with first 500 Pre ordered cars

Quick question - My RX8 is long gone (sadly) but I found this the other day when clearing some things in the loft...
It is the original Artwork/concept drawing that was presented to the first 500 customers when they received their car.
It is still in its shrinkwrap and has never left it!

My question is what is it worth and if anyone is interested I would be open to offers for it as I would like it to go to a genuine enthusiast as opposed to the eBay route!

It looks too much like a hatchback in the pic. I like the direction they ultimately went with the car. Cool picture though!

I wish they made the roof a bit lower than what it is now. S2000 is much lower car when the eight is like a sedan.

I also agree the roof seems fine... They shouldve placed her on a lower suspension.. Factory tucked tires or something cause i bought mine and i feel like it was made to go mudding or something ***** so high up!

I need to be just as high to drive it now

I would love to buy one if I can ever find one for sale lol, but recently I havn't been looking like I should be. I have found the books for sale though, but this is the first I have heard of artwork.
