thats the one!!

sorry getting the names mixed up with the Audi i have - Brilliant Black.. that said there really isnt much brilliant about it.

does anyone know if its just a flat red? id imagine its got a pearl or fleck to it, I could see it on the colour wall at the dealers.

im not keep on the torro red, it looks like dry blood. sorry to anyone that owns it. just looks more like a brown in anything other than direct sun light.
Not true, I can't say it ever looked brown unless you are looking at a poor photo? I had a Toro V8V and everytime someone talked about it, it was always "is yours the nice coloured one in the car park?"

I loved that colour and Magma Red also, I have to say they do not look as good on the page as they do in the flesh.

I was shown around one at the dealers, that was my 1st impression, just wansnt the red i was expecting, maybe it was a particularly poor example, it did however put me off as it was quite high on my list.

Perhaps i need to see a more cherished example as it was covered in swirls and fine scratches.

+1, never seen anything remotely brown about it. Not to everyone's taste, sure, but brown? Nope.

I wouldn't get to hung up about it having Nav...smile

Most have, but for the life of me I'll never understand how a supposedly intelligent person, could be talked into parting with £1700 quid for itroflrofl

Can always get a wrap? That wouldn't give you the red stitching inside though

i can't believe how much in the last 2 weeks even the price has dropped,

previously on the AM used car locator there was only a couple sub 40k cars. now there are loads.

To the OP,

I watched the prices of early V8V's very closely over the last winter and into the spring before buying my car in May. From what I could see the number of sub 40k cars hit a peak around feb/march but the best deals to be had were in December. There were some absolutely amazing cars for around the 38k region which I would have thought would have gone for 5k more in the summer. Also unsurprisingly very few cars were moving around this time so I can image in you can barter this price further still.

So as long as you don't have to sell a similar type of car at the same time, if it where me I would buy myself a Christmas or New Years present this winter wink
