Had a few emails/WhatsApps over the weekend asking if the white one for sale at the Elms Collection is my old car. Sadly it is. This car had been a big part of my life and truly loved but it is now time to move on and put my past life, and things I had in it, behind me.

To answer some of the questions, car is UK supplied, RHD, never exported, non-rental, full dealer service history and immaculate. I’m no longer the owner.

Think it’s on here in the classifieds for sale but waiting on pictures. For now you can indulge in the one in my profile! wink

The advert was on PH but with no pictures.

The advert has now gone and is posted as Sold. That was quick! Being 1 of only 3 believed UK market white cars no doubt helped.
Meanwhile the 3 RHD grey SL1s plus the Cat D grey car remain advertised.

Is anyone on here the new owner?

Advert went live, I messaged Dion within 15 minutes of receiving the alert..........he messaged back..........I asked a couple of questions.......response came back saying that he'd sold the car already having had 4 enquiries within about half an hour.....

I literally couldn't have moved any quicker, only been waiting for ten years!!! weeping

Wow. I have one of the other white ones. Got to admit as having had lots of nice toys including a split new gt3rs. The mk1 SL is awesome. Compared to a scuderia at almost double the price they are good value. Hope y have something fabulous coming. Scott

Ten years? There have definitely been other excellent examples up for sale in that time wink

I almost laughed out of my home office chair.

The car you mention missed 1 service in 10 years from approx 8 years ago, since then it had full main dealer service on the button with no expense spared.

Not my definition of patchy.

Evidently. The right car for you probably isn't out there though sadly.

A non Grey or Black car initially. Black doesn't do it for me and I really, really want to like the Grey but just can't.

Even if Eric Clapton owned it!

I know of a member with a yellow one.......there is an orange one too but thats been used as a track car all over Europe, last seen at Portimao I think. Waiting for one of those to come up could take a lifetime.......so, I'd buy a white one if it came up and ticked all the boxes.......I've had alerts set up for years waiting for the right car, but apparently you have to move quicker than 30 minutes after the advert goes live!

I'd probably buy a RHD import if one came up..........

High rear wing is a must also..............
