Midnight Blue car is back on sale at DK Engineering having sold very quickly in Jan. Be interesting to see how quickly it sells this time...

I know a lot has changed since that sold but it’s still a surprise it’s back up. Unless it was returned? Is there something undesirable about the car that isn’t obvious?

I think that might be a car bought by one of the youtube brigade...not entirely sure, I only watch Harry Metcakf and Henry Catchpole these days.

If you mean TGE TV, that one was black.

On the Carfection channel. He still does class leading video work.

My favourite car vid by far is the greatest drive series filmed under EVO, with the Vantage N430 in the Scottish Highlands. The dream sequence at 11:06 is par excellence.

Ok, I’ll say it, obviously there is a story to this car.
To my eyes it’s the beat looking of them all...the colour is incredible, the condition looks great. Really reputable dealer. Now I appreciate there is more to buying a car than that, most especially a supercar. So it was sold, and the new owners handed it back, gave it back, didn’t like it, or something popped up that they hadn’t noticed. Again buying a car like this if it was something merely mechanical surely the owner would have the means to put it right ?
There have been a few comments on here alluding to something odd. Just wondering what it is?

Obviously not much of a concern as it has already sold again!

Maybe an offer the owner couldn’t refuse?

CGT’s are going through the roof I tell you! smile

Excellent video from Jay Leno. Didn’t know he had a CGT; he’s had it for 17 years!

I never knew the secret compartment at the door nerd



In the video Jay talked about his high speed spin, and was very humble about it. Sure there’s a lot of luck, but I reckon he demonstrated a lot of skills there too.

Video of the spin:
