Ah yes.. now I remember Mine was too expensive also.
Well, it sold and I bought it back a second time, only to foolishly sell again (for an even higher price.)
I know mine is now in a collection ‘tomb’ and the owner wouldn’t sell - even for £150k
Theses type of cars only come up for sale one in a blue moon. If it’s available the price becomes very much secondary..
If only you had bought mine Jonny - you would have 2/3rds of the market under control !

RB is indeed a fabulous colour.
Here’s my Exige in it.
Sold as didn’t gel with it.


One of my Astons was also similar colour - Elwood Blue.
Think I’ve done with blue now though.

This was mine - specced and owned from new.
Jonny’s came from a friend of his who bought from new I think and iirc Phil’s was bought and then sold and brought again by him.
I bought Phil's car from him, kept it for 5.5 years & sold it back to him during the first lockdown.

There was also one local to me in Horsham Sussex a few years ago. The chap owns a few RUF 911s too. Sold the RB 997 3 years ago but not sure who to.

Pretty sure it wasn't that car. AIUI, there are 4 Riviera cars; 2 steel & 2 PCCB - mine was a steel car and the press cars are usually PCCB.

ETA: Originally supplied by mid-Sussex on 9/10/10. First service stamp in the book was 9/1/12 @ 10,710 at OPC Swindon, so definitely not the press car I'd say.

You'd have to be crackers to pay that but each to their own.

I love it, but if there’s 4 it’s twice as exclusive as I originally thought. I’ll keep my white one that was priced considerably less and superb history😃

I would be Viewing if I didn’t already have mine. It’s not a huge premium for something so exclusive.

Looks a beauty. Something about the earlier 911 gt cars in Carrara white, it shows the lines perfectly.
