From the review links the real plate is HN14HFT, the private plate on the pictures would appear to be on a G63 now.

Ad says Todmorden. God it looks gloomy in the pics. I'd much prefer that RR over a G63 any day of the week unless maybe if I lived in Todmorden.

Any ideas to its use? Just a bonkers 1st owner?

Weddings etc?

It's got taxi miles so it's likely the posh uber thing in London. Not many cars like that do it so it probably had almost constant customers. Hell I'd choose that thing in London for a laugh.

It won't have done those miles in a city. That's pounding the motorways stuff.

Surely it's massively over priced too?

[ruggedscotty]

Offt that rolla....

whats the new price for it and how much has each of those miles cost the owner.... yikes... lol

My guess is its worth that much broken for bits?

The next cheapest 2014 (facelift) is up for £100k on 69k miles.

But what constant use would it have had to do those miles if not a taxi?

Those companies that let you hire these cars put low mileage limits on them, so I doubt it's that. Wedding companies carry the cars to near the location.

Someone that doesn’t like to fly but travels for business?

That makes the most sense to me: although it seems a lot of money, compared to running an exec jet may well work out less - especially if that first owner got a good deal on an ex press fleet car.

Wasn't there a German E63 AMG or something similar earlier in the thread that had done like 300k km in two years used by some german business man who preferred being chauffeured across Europe by car than private jet? could be a similar setup here?

My mate lives in London and worked in Brussels for a few months. He said the train was quicker and more pleasant too.

OK, so not many miles in the grand scheme of things, but what a mental car to do them in! Any sane person's idea of a sensible long distance commuting barge has 900ps.

I wonder how many super cars have higher top speeds that are in production today? Not many

Sitting at 6,500rpm in this v12 the turbos blasting but utter silence inside the cabin.
Likely quicker point to point (with autobahn) than flying & if comparing to first class miles cheaper too. Bliss.

Would love to know what sort of person owned this and managed the miles on it.

Some sort of captain of industry over seeing their industrial empire sites that did the maths vs flying first / business class I would have thought.

As above...

Private jets arent that comfy unless your in the big ones. I have flown as a guest on a few of them now and wouldnt spend my own money to fly on one of them over first class on a regular flight, the real game changer is the fact you can fly obscure routes and leave on your own schedule. You hire them on a cost per hour of like $8k a hour or something crazy.

The little 8 seater things like the one I was on in this picture are actually quite a rough flight and would not recommend.



Cost to run the jet in the above picture works out at $2350 per hour (200 yearly hours) not including buying the damn thing.

I remember posting the Brabus but that's not the car that we're thinking of. It's done 100k KM (still for sale!) so it's not off the scale mileage, just high for a €700k car with 900 bhp. The car I think we're referring to was a debadged S63 sold in Germany with more than 300k km in 2 years but unfortunately the pics have gone.

That S63 has spent its life doing exactly what it was built for.

Love to see cars like that being used for masses of miles. I bet it's in fine fettle too.

Totally agree, it's glorious just imagining Herr Businessman clocking up those KMs :P

And of course it is completely de-badged as well, perfect.

Also the "German business man preferring to drive than fly" was thread speculation - there was no story behind it, just a car for sale at a dealer.

Agree on this, once got to fly on one and the only posh thing was maybe the legroom and booze on offer - but it was so rough in the skies I felt sick and just wanted it to end. I can see why someone might want to be driven in a roller thinking about it!

To be honest if I lived a life without time constraints I’d probably never fly within Europe again (in anything).
