I remember looking at Legnum VR4's there 10 years ago when they were KTC, a single phone call was all it needed for me to not bother with them.

They have some really nice metal in there, this surprises me though - a £250k CGT? Really? Must have been bent in half for that money.

as does this, sure all the flashy Lambos and Fezzas will appeal to the core "clientele" for that type of car in that type of area, but they also have some proper "petrolhead" cars that you would think wouldn't appeal so much when you could just have another Gallardo?

The CGT is listed as sold too! Bet is was never there in the first place. List it, mark it as sold and leave it listed to give them impression they are in that territory.

Weird how it happens sometimes. Companies like this often attract real, genuine petrolheads. I remember being in a room where a fellow member on here mocked an infamous chap from Bradford to the point he picked up the phone and called Lamborghini to place an order. It wasn't long before the order was cancelled, but it does make you wonder how some of these chaps who simply aren't interested in cars other than as abject status symbols end up with some really fascinating cars. Incredibly wealthy people can be incredibly insecure.

Can you clock a McLaren 650s?

https://www.motor-hub.co.uk/used-cars/mclaren-650s...

Advertised with 5k on the clocks, MOT history for the same plate shows just under 15k last August.

Typo mistake, init? Although there's also an LP640 missing a big chunk of mileage too.

This is standard practice for them. As well as buying cars with undeclared accidents or stolen cars that have been cloned (both have happened to members on this forum as well as others). The one on this forum was a Gallardo that had a vinyl wrap covering some pretty horrific repair work and an undeclared history. From memory the stolen car was an R8?

Clincher will be what the clocks actually say, if it had 15 ish at the last MOT but now reads 5 then thats it being clocked, may just be a typo but I doubt it, 5 vs 15k doesnt sound much but on a supercar its a huge difference.

I look at used cars and one pops up that looks ok, then I see its them and click onwards,

That's a sweeping generalisation right there...

Proving perhaps that sometimes, even sweeping generalisations can be correct?
