235K. The worlds most expensive Sagaris?

[scorcher]

Who s flush enough to buy the world s most expensive Sagaris then. Just 158 miles from new ( boo) in a most desirable colour. Probably never to be driven more than a few miles again.

[alex_gray255]

Yeah, good luck with that...

[OIC]

I'd want £20k off the asking price for a rebuild.

[TR4man]

I wonder what the back story is with this car?

Anyway, I seem to recall a few months ago a 5k mileage one up for sale for half this asking price, so as a previous poster has stated "good luck with that"!

[Mr.Chips]

Looks nice, but £235K
Like the easy access bonnet and the rear facing exhausts, but I thought Sagaris Mk2 had Jade R style wheels, this has 18” spiders!
If the lottery comes up tomorrow, I might go and have a look, based on the colour alone, but even after a sizeable lottery win, I would be reluctant to pay £235K.

2007 must be an unfinished car ... Syvecs ECU ...So I guess finished by Racing Green !!!! ... So not very original and a very original price

[alex_gray255]

Would be interesting to see what prices Sags command now.

There are virtually none for sale and when they do come up - they seem to be POA.

If someone wants to put this price fine. But as you are saying, good luck. It's too young to be exportable to the US, more and more complicated to homologate on the continent (or needs to be 30 years old).
And, it's so far from my mindset, paying a huge premium for a car with very few miles. You can't even drive it, else all the value vanishes.
I would be so sad to just look at it in my garage.

Already at least one Sag in LA , USA and quite a number of Tuscans .... taken in through Canada.

[RichB]

I think it's great, must make my Griff worth £75k

[bubblebobble]

I remember this one a while back, spotted on a flatbed a while back

[The Three D Mucketeer]

As suspected 1100 is a 2006 build/VIN number , HF71DVP shows 1st registered 2022 and has had one MOT at 149 miles last month and is SORN'ed.
So reckon most probably a car on the line at 2006 closure , sent to Multipart, Crick and subsequently purchased from Multipart , no engine and hence the non standard ECU.

I wonder if it was this car ?

A friend sold his this year for £112,500, which I thought was a lot, but apparently another was sold at around £120,000

Are they properly registered though, or there under 'Show and Display' regs?

The 1110 build number was two before my TuscanS and that was registered in July 2006, so a bit unusual that it was not completed at the factory.

They are properly registered but they need to have at least 25 years.

Nick , they didn't get completed in the same sequence as when Build numbers were allocated when orders were placed. If yours was a customer spec'ed order rather than one made for stock or a dealer demo , it would get priority, because they wanted the cash .

The actual advert reveals all.

• Build no. 1110, ordered August 2006, delivered January 2007
• Rep. of Ireland market, right-hand drive, km/h speedometer
• 2007-specification build (with 2006 seats)
• First registered January 2022

This example, build number 1110, was ordered on 29 August 2006 through Parkgate Garages of Belfast for the Republic of Ireland market. It entered build the following day, and its specification sheet was amended in October 2006 ahead of delivery at the end of January 2007. Its first owner clearly wanted something special. Finished in Cascade Purple, the car has grey full-hide leather with purple stitching, and purple leather picks out the dash, vents, seat surrounds, gaiter, door tops and carpet piping, so the interior and exterior complement each other well. It was built to 2007 specification with side-facing exhausts and a kilometre speedometer for its intended market.

As a 2007-specification car, this Sagaris benefits from the final round of factory revisions. Rear-facing exhausts replaced the original side exits to reduce motorway boom and meet international noise regulations, and the update also brought a one-piece bonnet, a third brake light and new alloy wheels

The car was first registered in the UK in January 2022

Ah ... that explains it .... It was "FUNKYs (on here) , a lady property developer from Ireland ... I remember the failure to deliver caused a great deal of anger between the lady concerned and the factory.
