The 765 is getting a huge amount of praise recently. I haven't driven one but really like the way they look.
I am new to the brand but am absolutely smitten with the 675.
Tomorrow, I am going for an early morning drive here in Spain, excited is an understatement.
There is a full gloss carbon car that has been up for sale for a long time at £439k. I wonder what these are realisticly worth.
AB has just listed this.I am new to the brand but am absolutely smitten with the 675.

I think the red accents are hurting the value
Proper batmobile stuff!I love carbon on a car, but in moderation; this would not be for me.
I seen this in the flesh when Parks owned it; how the carbon weaves continued onto each panel flawlessly was very impressive.
Couldn't figure out why they sold it; it was in good company with their full carbon P1 and full carbon Speedtail; don't think their Senna was carbon though.
All had around 400miles.
The mind boggles that a version of my car is being discussed as cheap at £360k!

So you would put another 300k into a car similar to what you already have because it had a carbon Fibre body? I get it might be slightly undervalued of course...more power to you if you can just park the cash!
Yeah I think it would be a good investment TBHIf the 675 ever becomes a proper collectors car the carbon ones will be worth a fortune. Imagine the value of a 1/25 full CF CGT VS Normal CGT Values

I was thinking the same. Buy the carbon car and then sell my 675 LTS. It is a big price jump but the car is very special and rare.

I was thinking more of just buying it as an investment but drive the normal LTS even more.If the 675 ever becomes a proper collectors car the carbon ones will be worth a fortune. Imagine the value of a 1/25 full CF CGT VS Normal CGT Values

Appreciation on carbon car would far outweigh depreciation of higher mileage on normal car.
Otherwise you would always fear putting too many miles on the 1 carbon car and harming its value.
Been there before with a mint low mileage ferrari 430 scuderia and found it quite frustrating and sold it in the end
Interesting these carbon cars, I had a good look around the one with the multispokes in the 'sold' section on A.B website when it was in hatfield for a service a few months ago.
Certainly impresive when you are standing within 10 feet, looking at the carbon weave etc, but from any other distance, the car looks a dull black / grey. Buying one of these is a long term investment gamble, You could win big and it might be highly valuable in the future, but they are not an easy or quick car to sell.
If the market turned, and you needed the funds, you would lose a big chunk.
Certainly you would need this as part of a collection as a 4th plus car, as too milage sensitive.
Also the current price that sold at, is very close to the 765lt spyder that was auctioned recently.
Due to rarity alone, I think that purchase at that price was a wise one.
Well done to the new owner!

Having a car like that and not being able to drive it properly due to the implications on its value would be pure torture tbh...if it was sitting in a collection and you had other cars to use then fair enough.
Nicely specced 675s are currently trading above £300k. 20% more for a full carbon car is good value and wouldn't put me off driving it.BrntRubber said:

I lost 3 transactions because they had sold 5 minutes after going online.
