is there a reserve price? and what additional costs would there be? bca/buyers fees etc?

A very tempting price, not that I need another one! Although if I did buy it I'd remove the scissor doors and repaint the wheels.

Does it matter there's no V5 - is it easy to get another?

Buyers fees are around £2000 but if you have a platinum card its around £400.

Get it bought! For that money (assuming it goes for around guide) I would live with scissor doors.... Best colour to have.

I would argue but keeping mine (white - the rarest colour don't you know) clean is driving me slightly doolally.

A long way to go to do some more tyre kicking and then come back and say it's too expensive (again)

not kicked any tyres so far!!!
all cars i've been involved with i was going to buy without driving, maybe even seeing!!!

TBH white is love it, hate it for most... I couldn't have a white car due to keeping clean which I love to do, even though I do agree SL looks great in white!

Had all sorts of colours and know lots of people who have as well, tend to find the green and orange lambo's stay fresh looking the longest. I have been surprised how well both Arancio Borealis (orange) and Verde Ithaca (green) seem to keep dirt hidden away and stay looking polished longer than other colours!

Yes,but cant find the right car.The one in Netherlands (which i was due to buy this Sat 24 Sept)has been clocked shows 8000 miles but true mileage is around 35000 miles.So as a rebound from the car in Netherlands i might go and have a look at the SL as it is in my favourite colour.
Just noticed the Diablo at Monks has a new price tag!

i assume automotivedreams are putting this through the auction, and will have a reserve on it... can;t see it being 90k or less, if they wanted to sell it at a loss, they could do so easily through PH.
