Yellow 458 Italias in the UK

[TonyW360]

I really fancy a yellow 458 Italia but they don't come up often for sale, at least on the sites I've been looking at recently. Does anyone know roughly how many there currently are in the UK, numbers-wise and as a % of total 458 Italias in the UK? Educated guesstimate?

Thanks for all this really helpful feedback. If my maths is right, based on Jonathan's numbers (albeit they're not complete), just under 5% of 458s in the UK are yellow. Based on Yipper's comment about 100-150 458s being for sale currently in the UK (call it 125), you'd expect around 6 to be yellow. Given there seem to be none currently, it's either a statistical blip (I confess I haven't been looking long enough to judge that), or else there's something else going on: are yellow 458 owners holding onto them for some reason? Maybe they love them more than owners of other colours? Any other theories?

You mean they'll apply a high trading margin on it because they anticipate not selling for a while, so they pay less to the seller for it? I guess that wouldn't apply on a SOR basis though?

Weird, just as we're talking about it that crops up - and it just happens to be James May's old one, the only one I actually knew of. Shame it's a private sale, personally I'd never touch one of those...
