Car will be 3 years old Jan 1st with 13k on it, Carbon Black edition with lightweight seats. I am thinking circa £90k maybe even more. Any thoughts?

I see this car has still not sold and now the price is reduced £88k not so easy, and hopefully sold by Craig to Grange.

Nope, its still mine. I think we just missed the tail end of the summer sunshine when it might have sold as quickly as other similar cars they have had. Nearly had a buyer last week but the wife did not like lightweight seats!!! Just dropped price a little before weekend to make it a little more appealing. If this goes on too long I might take her back, she is too good and rare a car to give away. Fingers X'd.

Good luck Craig iam sure Grange will sell it, they price there cars well unlike stratstones.
I would be intrested but have my eye on a mint car(private) that hopefully comes through.

Mine is now mint having had a new windscreen to get rid of chip, a front end respray and brand new splitter. And being SOR the uplift on the price you might pay privately is well worth the additional benefit of having bought it off a dealer.

Whats surprising about the carbon blacks is the number of them with the standard sport seats ,when they where all meant to have the light weight seats. strange.

I also read this too, it is strange, but of course I have lightweights in my CB

Which makes mine all the more special as they are darned expensive to retro fit. Why is there not a queue of enlightened buyers????

Like you said Craig, wrong time of year to sell. Some stock hanging around now. Quite the opposite in May-July..........

Mine's a Carbon Black - but Morning Frost. I think spec for spec it was cheaper to specify a CB car and pay for the paint than spec up a 'standard' car (and still pay for the paint).

I have sent you an email

Best regards,

Really . A unique car then.
I thought the CBs have the black gloss wheels and shiney front grill?
Carbon Black on sill plates.

I was told it was 6k more to the list price.
Mine it may not be the same on the Vantage.
Carbon Mirrors,
Black Exhaust Tips
Black speakers
Door cards have a different top section.
Black wheel inner finish.
Sill plates with Carbon on them.
Black window surrounds and Grill
Newer beam wipers
Carbon top dash.

There maybe more enhancements.
