This has just popped up, looks rather nice and competitively priced...

I'm amazed that anyone can think those images are acceptable when selling a £137k car. Unbelievable.

Half decent for a private seller, certainly enough to stir the interest of someone in the market. If the car looks good in these honest type photos (which it does) then all good...

Pistonheads classifieds are remarkably unfriendly at present for any images that aren't landscape 6x4.. portrait photos end up getting squished, as seen here.

LHD but only 100 miles. New high for LHD asking price?

Because it is an ultra rare 2,999 cc Turbo version...haha

Seems like a good buy from Main dealer too.

Doesn't seem that many listed for sale at the moment either.

??? 38 seems an awful lot of listings. When I bought mine 2 years ago there were 6 ( sub 20k miles @ £160k ).

18,000 mile cars at £200k aren't selling, same cars advertised. In fact one car now at £190k was for sale when I bought mine and hasn't turned a wheel in 2 years and the price has gone up £20k.

Count again how many are actually for sale in the UK / not 16M's and not just 'Sold and we want your car type ads...

I count 17 Scuds (any mileage / dealer or non dealer / LHD & RHD) up for sale right now.

Not many in my book...

Funny how some of the Ferrari's go mad on price, then sit and do nothing for ages. I think the Scuds look good value at the moment, in particular the LHD cars - theres not much that can touch them in this price bracket for sheer 'drama' - and that gear change... theres nothing that comes close!

Think prices for both Scuds and CS's have slowed in recent months (although Speciale's did / are crazy but they are the new thing so expected). Market place as a whole has had a bit of heat taken from it (see Porsche 997 GT cars) which IMO is no bad thing. Sad to see access to so many great cars disappear from so many enthusiasts

You're right though. Scud is such an event I would even wager there's nothing comparable even at (reasonable) higher price points.

Scuderia F1 superfast II gearbox is just a dream. Best gearbox I've ever had including the DSG's. Really suits the car, great feel and fast enough without being so super smooth you don't realise you have changed gear.
When you are on it, its brutal. Just love it
