Yes it is. I know the current owner and have seen this car in the metal - it looks amazing.

All I see up to this point is the sellers mates bidding it up, 4 instances of 2 bidders bidding themselves up when no-one else has bid!! very suspect, just makes you not trust the auction site. I know it goes on but this is just blatant upping the price.

What is its value? I would have said tops £155-160k at auction

2013 cars are retailing from late 140's to early 150's not ideal spec and colour combo is bit marmite and very personal. No Warranty or dealer facility.

Interesting, coincidence perhaps, Number of bids from jcee and ZEDCEE bidding against themselves. Fuoco is spot on - surely bids against yourself must be spotted by the site for credibility if nothing else?

£6k buyers premium to add also.

Looking strangely expensive.

Its definitely the way to go if you are selling. Imagine going into a dealer to trade it in .. probably would be offered £125K.

Thank you RogGT-R, in fact I am aware that he is friends with the owner of CC and am certain that prospective buyers are not getting an impartial deal even though the fee paying customer is the buyer!

Well the colour caught my eye haha - am looking at the Fuoco F12 at JCT600 currently. Never seen it in the flesh.

It just seems a bit blatant unless I have utterly misinterpreted and these people really want the car. I am sure it’s been beautifully done but isn’t to my taste. Wonder what it sells for in the end. ZEDCEE has also just bid on the Zagato Shooting brake - slightly different type of car. Maybe a dealer?

No dealer warranty or service pack I wouldn’t see anything above £150K being a decent deal in current climate, unless someone really loves it of course.

I bet your right. It's now not a cheap car or a good deal imo.

I think there is a danger people get carried away as with any auction. You set your heart on a car and you end up getting carried away with it all. It would be good for a middle ground where its good for the seller and the buyer .. cutting out the evil dealers mark up. However on a £150k car thats £9K to collectorcars, not quite main dealer margins but then again they don't have their overheads.

Has been up for sale for ages at circa £185k
If you’re Swedish this is a great car and spec.
Compared to the Dubai lemon which had no history according to owner and CC.
Strangely Ferrari database revealed full history and a mileage higher in Dubai than 3 years later in the uk.
CC is running out of puff.
