Hello all - it's me that's selling the Nightfall Blue S.
Thanks for empathy of last poster - that was spot-on.
I've owned Elises and Exiges before, the last one ten years ago - since then I've had a bunch of surgeries on my left hip which haven't caused a problem with the automatics I've been driving since - I thought I was going to be OK with a manual Evora but anything over an hour leaves me limping and reaching for the painkillers - that's middle-aged and a tough paper-round catching up with me!
The car is perfect in every was, not a single blemish or fault. In a perfect world someone else would have an identical car with IPS to swap! I've never bought a car from a dealer before but it was Will's reputation for scrupulous sourcing that swung me.
Fair comment about the photos for a nice day to wash it - shiny new ones should be on AT shortly...

Hi Ed,

So sorry to hear that was the circumstance. frown The only consolation I can offer is that, having driven both, the IPS is just as epic a drive, with it's auto blip downshifts. Also no £3k clutch replacement or gearbox worries!

I would love to take the blue one off you but it's above my price range unfortunately. (With prices on the rise, seems all the good ones are.)

Will is great, really good to deal with. He sold my launch edition for me last year.
Looking forward to seeing the new pics!

Where I am down in Devon the roads are more cow-pat than tarmac so a car never stays clean for long

Sadly I can't do a deal on yours but my IPS is up for sale if it's of interest?

Could you please DM me your car?

It will probably be out of my price range, but I'd be interested.

Thanks

How much did it go for if you don't mind me asking? I'd buy from Will this year if he had a Launch Edition I could afford.

Don’t mind at all. It sold for 28500 iirc. 40k aspen white cr box 19/20 400 wheels with new ps4. The day Will came to collect he noticed the ac compressor had failed (common apparently?) which took 600 out of the deal for me! Rule of thumb for Will’s fees is about 10% (am I allowed to say that?).

Didn’t fancy cleaning the interior? Sorry, I’m a fussy tt. It’s a great car but the pics are, well...meh. Just my opinion, please don’t be offended!

White in cow pat strewn lanes - I would pass

Beginning to think I sold my IPS sports racer S a bit cheap in August

I'm more interested in "How long until the £40k 400" in all honesty laugh

New ad from Will Blackham of a nice red SR with only 9K miles.

https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11425001

Prices continuing to move upwards, though with this low mileage it's probably justified here. I fear this particular car will be destined for a collector to shelve.
