Sorry about the site, its moving servers, hence the pics are unavailable at present.
That Marque1 says its a 2004?

It is an 04 car but was first registered in 07 from what I understand

Good idea RED11OT

Bet it sounds better at this time of year.

The road immediately outside my gates is sooooo filthy all the time at this time of year so mine is firmly shut away inside its Carcoon, unlikely to see the light of day until spring.

I get withdrawal symptoms if I don't go for a spin for more than 2 weeks.
Had a nice drive around London on Sunday, with some unsociable loud bursts now and then

As said I'm sure that is the car that was on the market at £325k great car if you want a loooong term collection. Not if you want to drive it, which you will...

Not hiding ... I think its the one that has been at Marque1 cars for over a year at £325. Last strad ever built

BTW what's wrong with www.clubstradale.com it was down before and now no pictures It should have the ads logged there too when it was with Marque1

This is correct. Marque 1 had it for over 330k then reduced it a tad. Said the owner wanted 300k for it. Sounds like it didn't sell and now is with Meridian at a reduced price.

Maybe JT can chime in but was told that this isn't the last one as there's a Japanese VIN after this one. Also when it was at Graypaul the owner rejected it for having defective paintwork on multiple panels. It required a respray at the time so didn't bother buying it.

I believe it to be the last car. I don't know of any later.

Nice. Would love to have joined you. Can't wait to have my CS in London sometime.
Noble would be pleased to convoy around Chelsea with you.

Is yours a red left hooker? Saw one outside the Hollywood arms earlier this summer. Looked so cool in London.

Yes that was me, and in fact it was parked there briefly last weekend too

Actually just found the photo I took of you. It was back in April!

Great posing venue. Parking rough outside is fun. My Noble lives about 200 yards from there so let me know the next dry sunny day you're heading there.

[911Thrasher]

am around there too

[355fiorano]

Sounds like we should all do a nice sunny sunday afternoon there with a good bottle of wine and 3 strads parked outside!

I'll post up the next time I'm out early next year.

BTW on Sunday night I also saw a gray TDF parked round the corner ... Wonder if it was anyone posting on the V12 section here as there seem to be a few orders in gray recently.

[355fiorano]

Actually come to think of it, I suspect that our 3 cars are the same 3 cars that were at Dick Lovett Q3 last year and we all bought at around the same time.
I arranged to sign my deal on the day of the Ferrari IPO

The grey TDF could be Hugh Grant's. He lives round the back of that pub but isn't there much. His plate ends with APE!

3 strads rocking up anywhere would be pretty cool. Outside the Anglesey arms towards south Ken is also a good posing option.

Got a mate in Battersea with a 550 and another with a 355/599 so we could have quite an SW10 gathering!

There's a quite special CS for sale in the UK (on Pistonheads even).

It's a 1 of 25 Cornes Edition, from Japan, to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Japanese Ferrari importer Cornes. White Challenge grilles, Michael Schumacher signature on passenger door, carbon fueldoor. A rare special version of a rare car!

That is a fuggin ugly colour scheme.
Also, you could say all CS's are 1 of something due to spec combinations.

[RED110T]

I didn't think it was possible to make the Strad ugly but that is a mighty fine effort.... that real grill is just awful and the filler cap looks like it came from Halfords. Each to their own though I guess...

It's easy to fault a car from the pictures without actually seeing it in person. It always seems to be the owners of standard stradales say how awful it is. If it makes you feel better crack on. I'm sure if you want to post pictures of your own cars I can find some negative. But then again I wouldn't bother.

Top lurking ... looks like you've been waiting for something positive to contribute but got fed up
