Anyone know this car's history?

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/l...

I know what's been written about the dealer, but does anyone know about the car?

Chassis number is 00803

Originally Registered LJ53 KUW Oct 03, then BAD 4R Nov 05, then 174 LY May 06, then G14 LLO Dec 06, then W14 MBO Feb 07 (owned by ex-PH member Ade355), then L1 KLM Jan 08, then back to LJ53 KUW Apr 11

Seems to have been used quite a lot during 08, 09 and 2010 when it was registered L1 KLM.

Would be nice to know if it was just an active owner or whether it was a car club/hire car.

Car hasn't been tax'd for 2x years and MOT expired Feb 13. Certainly been on sale for quite a long time, possibly 2x years so bound to need a fair amount of money spending!

Has anyone seen it, as its quite a long way from me?

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to.

Thanks

Hi Ian,
I had a look at this in mid-2013, interior is a bit rough (probably why no interior shots), and wife wasn't impressed either - hence I walked away.

Pedal offset to left seems quite dramatic on the Murci's - much more than the Diablo.

They also had a light blue one, which again was a little rough inside, and a white LHD? LP640 roadster at the time.

Reputation of the place put me off in the end.

If you can stretch yourself slightly, I know this Murci very well and she's an absolute stunner - you won't find better:

£14k of prep - what did you do to it?!

BTW, they have a few F430s. Which one was yours?

nothing what I did to it, needed new clutch as its was 21k miles needed something doing to the suspension general age of the car and front bumper needed respay as it was a bit peppered and to add the power warranty to allow them to retail It and a but service. I can see a main dealer charging a lot for all that.

At a push I would say it's the Silver 430 Spider
