Fantastic car. Would be great to have lightweight seats, but not everyone likes those. Will be interesting to see the bids.

Good spec and low miles.

What a gorgeous car ... pretty much as I would spec it.

Wrong seats and wrong gearbox!

[macdeb]

Looks like the original buyer got it spot on, perfection. Right seats, right gearbox I know,,,,

The premium to have the manual though is pretty outrageous .

[phumy]

Wrong seats, right gearbox, definitely the correct colour

Do collecting cars give any guarantee or warranty or is it auction rules ?

[raceboy]

As far as I can understand the Terms & Conditions they just act as an Auction Site, all contracts are between buyer and seller.
That is a very nice car though, any idea where the service history wallet is from?

[phumy]

No they give nothing, they are the mechanism to bring buyer and seller together, after that it buyer beware

Seems to show a collection of various stamps from David Applerby, AM Bristol, AM Works so a bit of a muddle, presumably through more than one previous owner.

what was the asking price?

[AdamV12V]

That was an older 2014 V12VS SSIII I think if we’re talking about the same car.

It was a Private sale, lightweights buckets in Tan, 4200 miles for £90k. Was listed on facebook too.


EDIT : Corrected my mistaken first posting suggesting this was a 6spd manual, when in fact it was a V12VS SSIII

Not sure if you accidentially duplicated this post but Ive jist answered that above.

Or maybe it was this 7spd V12VS but this is a different green, albeit similar.

delusional private seller at £172k

Its certainly bold pricing especially in a cooling market. He had it up for £190k I believe though a few months ago when the market was at its peak so he has come down a fair bit already.

Still it has a lot going for it, 2017 spec, 7spd manual, lightweight seats, AMR powerkit, 4000 miles, but yes its still priced at the top end. Id say £145-150k would be more realistic for it to actually sell.
