Final GT4 build numbers in the UK are as yet unknown but likely to be 3-400.

They're a great car and even at £100K are a sensible buy.
Putting aside the fact that they will have strong residual values purely based on the limited production numbers, what makes you think they are a sensible buy? If the car was that good 80-85% of the people who ordered one wouldn't have flipped them already.

Talking strictly performance, is it worth twice as much as an M2? 3 times as much as a Focus RS? Twice as much as an Exige S? £30k more than an Evora 400? £30k more than a GTR?

If its looks and character your after, would you really choose one over an AM V8 or Maseratti Gran Turismo? I know everyone is different but I'd struggle to hand over £65k for one let alone £100k. Good cars yes but vastly overpriced, just like the 911R. boxedin

Ask this guy he managed 26 miles before it packed in,,

I've just responded...as it was me!!!

As they say, $hit happens! But yes, the Spyder and GT4's are incomparable at the price.

There was a white Aventador driving past Morrisons in Llanishen, Cardiff yesterday. Looked incredible amongst all the normal cars.

biggrin No problem.

Currently still with Porsche. Hydraulic hose popped which resulted in loss of clutch. New parts arrived today so that's been fixed. The bigger and much more annoying issue was the damage done by the recovery company getting the car back to the dealer which has resulted in the replacement of both rear wheels and the front splitter. This lot is on its way from Germany and should be with the dealer Saturday. All going to plan I'll get the car back Monday or Tuesday.

Being positive it was a joy to drive for the first 26 miles laugh

Thanks Martin. I can't get over how this year it seems to get even more positive attention than it did last year, everywhere I go in it it's like it makes someone's day to see it.

Plenty of nice cars driving round in Brecon yesterday. I saw a new mustang convertible number plate "300 GP" I think. A TVR, loads of Lotus Elise's, and Porches and a nice blue Noble (original one).

Must have been the same Aventador that passed me yesterday outside Tesco in Pengam Green.

It was followed closely by some fat white Bentley, I didn't get a chance to look any closer.
