First saw the Vector when Andre Agassi was posing with one for a lifestyle magazine, I think he had one for a period. Finally saw one in person at a Supercar Sunday event in LA.

Andre had a few hours of ownership with a W8. He purchased car 005 which internally was later referred to as 014A after it was repaired.
He and his brother had a infamous run in the car which was not finished (had a 2 core shop radiator in it while waiting for the production part).
We provided a refund and he never took delivery of the car after it was finished. The current owner loves the car and he is in Florida. The car is Black.
012 the Yellow car with Ostrich skin leather was originally spec'ed and delivered to a pharmaceutical giant in Texas, Later sold to Wayne S. in Florida, who did some very strange things to the car. It was then sold to Tony T. In California who did a whole bunch more to it taking it even further from original. He then sold it to a Gentleman in Italy. The car is now being slowly restored by him back to its original glory.

Nice one. Well spotted. Seems moderately priced when you consider some of its competitors of the era!https://youtu.be/tLOdXr1g2IQ
Good price achieved for 009. Does not surprise me as this is such a lovely example.

How much were they new?
In 1992 the base car $448,000.00There were many factory options that could add significantly to that base price depending on what the owner wanted.
Thats a huge amount in 92 when an F40 was listed at £170,000 (though they were selling for more I believe on the resale market) and a 959 was a bargain at £150,000 many would stick to the 'safe' option rather than risk it on an 'unknown' with no 'cache'.
Shame really, they certainly look good now (mind you, so does an F40
