Anyone know this DBS?

[Honestherbert]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this car? or if the owners is possibly on here? I am interested in going to have a look at it this weekend but am wondering why it is such a poor advert for what appears to be such an amazing car!!

Thanks in advance to any information/input.

The advertisement indicates private seller, but unless I am mistaken, the photographs of the car were taken at AM Sevenoaks.
I doubt the those photos were used at the time of a previous dealer sale, because number plates are usually covered by dealer AM logo plates.

DBS is not my speciality subject, but the car looks tempting.

I too believe the photo's were taken at AM Sevenoaks, probably on collecting the car once private plate had been transferred I'm guessing. It is indeed tempting.....even if the wife doesn't agree!

"garaged and covered with battery conditioner"

May need a polish then!!!

Lazy advertising at best. Has the owner not taken any recent pictures that he can use for his advert? Sometimes when something looks too good to be true it is - but there again I have a suspicious mind!!!

Yes, I know, wives don't always fully appreciate these works of art, immediately.

I think I might try an explanation to my wife, that a manual DBS, in the same colour as in the film, may not lose very much value from here on. Maybe leave the auction price on the coffee table, of a previous Bond car (DB5). Don't mention having to wait 50 years.

Go and see it and let us know! It seems a great buy.

Tried ringing to arrange a viewing this morning but no answer :-( Will try again later on today. I have pretty much been given the go ahead from SWMBO ;-) ........well, I have interpreted "just do what you f**king want" as a green light.

sounds like divorce is on the cards to me.

Based on her comment, that car might cost you a lot more than your thought sir

I'd say check the HPI address matches where you're going.
A time poor (I cant spend 5 mins taking some pictures) but cash rich owner looking to sell is a great opportunity. So long as they haven't driven it as carelessly as they are selling it!

Finally got hold of the owner today, unfortunately it sold pretty much as soon as it went up for asking price. Il have to keep my eye out and be straight on it should another one like it pop up I think!
