GT56 RRR - Collecting Cars

[Darranu]

Hi, just seen this about to be listed on CC. Does anyone know any history regarding the car?

I know its a fairly close community so hoping there may be some knowledge regarding build, previous owners and the all important, what do we think it will make?

Its lovely isn't it.

Im trying to sell my Mclaren currently but this would definitely be something I would love to own next. They don't often come up for sale, especially in this spec.

It is indeed, Ironically I'm potentially on the search for a Mclaren currently but that means selling my 996 X50 so I keep toying with keeping the 996 and adding something like the ult or Exige etc.

Really need to make my mind up and stop dithering

My choices were Ultima, Exige 430 or a Cobra, my requirements are for a manual occasional use toy so it can be raw and analogue.

The red Ultima ticks pretty much every box for me.

I dig the rear bulkhead cover in carbon. That looks like it was probably an expensive fistfight. Fine work!

I am curious to know why the factory replaced the body only 2 years after it was built though... Looks great!

... I'm wondering how they fair on a driveway, ungaraged?.

Realistically I would be garaging or at least putting in some sort of storage (carcoon or similar)

Extended time outside in all weather would take its toll IMHO

Really curious to see where the value of this ends up. They're stunning but also only appeal to a small audience, couple that to a hard stop when selling via auction I really wouldn't like to guess the final bid.

Will make interesting watching

Any idea when its due to be auctioned? Must be £65k at least.

[UltimaRS2020]

Being auctioned now, ends Sunday at 7:50pm according to the info in the top left of the webpage.

Went for £50,001

[TR3B]

It says £54,001 for me. That's 75K US. Somebody got a smoking deal on that one.

[CoolHands]

What a beauty.

Plus a buyers premium of 6% so more than that in reality. Still a good price but the car doesn’t have aircon and it’s not a trivial matter to retrofit it.
