Nice car - weird ad though. It says it's LHD in the fact bit on the right and in the blurb claims to be both 1 of 28 RHD cars to come to the UK and 1 of 24 RHD cars to come to the UK.

4.0RS is an utterly brilliant car but £195k yikes is a lot of money for a used car!

Agreed very strange ad .....

I still think I would prefer a GT2RS, if I couldnt have both, purely because I am not a track god and would be mostly road use with a track day or two ..

Yes I saw that too! Various was spelt varies (and Carrara White was spelt as Carrera White on the 4.0RS ad).

I know we all make mistkes of this nature when typing but this is a very high-end car dealership. In this day and age when you can pretty much check up on the history of anything, you'd have thought putting together some blurb about a car would not be massively differentiating but poor spelling / grammar / car errors would be, for all of the wrong reasons!

Might be due to non English speaking advertisers. Classic driver has alot of international ads.

Could just be a poor speller like me though!

Actually, I wasn't referring to the Classic driver ad per se but the Hexagon Classic ads, which is apparently in South Ken! It's not a lot of effort to spell correctly though even if you're crap, you just ask somebody who's half decent to proof read for you. For the purposes of PH, this isn't a big deal but for a car dealership looking to sell high-end cars, knowledge of car colours, spelling and grammar all help your cause, I'd have thought?

Put it this way, I doubt you'd out anybody off by having every detail on your site absolutely spot on but you might if you didn't.

You really do like talking your own book!!

I guess whoever bought it didn't know how to use google then. Quick search on mobile.de shows LHD drive cars avaiable at <£180k.

The 4.0 is a stunning car and I was gutted not to get one when they came out but I do think the prices will slide a bit from current levels, especially for LHD drives given strength of pound and the situation in Europe.

I know that car - surprised the owner is selling it. Haven't seen him for a while, but he used to own an Audi RS Blue 993 GT2 before the blood orange car came up.

VC sold the car a long time ago, was out for a curry last night with him and another Porsche nut. Lots of talk about Bluto coming up for sale was had.
