Yes please! I wonder if I'd have to get it serviced six times though?

I simply do not understand it. Why would you sit on it losing money for 6 years and not drive it?

Maybe the person mistakenly thought it would be much more limited production than it turned out? Originally, it was stated in all the US mags that there would be no more than 100 DBS sent to North America each year, which turned out to be far from the reality.

Lovely car but the pictures do not convey the true colour of casino royale which has a lilac that is appealing to some but not me frown

Funny how 195 miles is rounded down to 100 - not that it matters really.

The old style key pouch too. Quaint smile

I suspect you may be right. Probably thought "Bond car - bullet proof investment!". If he held it for another 20 years then he might turn out to be right. Or, it could have been owned by someone with a huge collection of cars and just never got around to using it. Either way, shame it hasn't been used for all those years!
