bks to it, I’m getting an Exige!!
I had two 4C’s and now have an Exige Sport 350...

Aside from the complete and utter ballache of getting in/out^, the Exige is better in every way as a driver’s car!

[will go get my tin hat!]

^ Oh, and also the crappy wing mirrors!!!

I’ve owned one 4C and driven a 350, 410 and 430 Cup and without a doubt the Exige is a better drivers car. But both elicit an equally broad smile.

Is it a 50th edition? Only ask as there is no plaque near the hand brake?

I went to look at this car at Beechdale in Derby. It’s a Leasys car owners by the dealership owner which is due to go back to Leasys at the end of the year. The car is fine albeit with a small crack on the passenger side area of the windscreen (no MOT fail mind). However a few things that put me off

  • All 50th edition cars came with carbon style bags - very rare. This one is missing as is the car cover.
  • All 50th edition cars came with the ‘50’ wing mirror covers, again this aren’t with the car although the plaque is but not attached.
  • The warranty offered is an RAC one which limits to £45/hour for labour charges which would like be halve of what is charged for working on a 4C
A nice car but missing a few vital bits imho

Given that most of the 50th Anniversary Spiders were leased cars I think you'd be extremely lucky to find one that's still got the bag.

I considered keeping my bag when I returned the car, but erred on the side of caution and returned it (it wasn't on the checklist for the pickup - the car cover and cleaning kit was though). I know for a fact that the person who bought the car from Auto100 didn't get the bag with it. No idea whether it's someone at Mannheim or someone at Auto100 or someone else who kept the bag

Poor but a sad reality of people’s respect of something that in essence isn’t their property.

Personally couldn't give two craps if my car came with the cover/bag etc, the car is for driving, the rest just sits in a cupboard somewhere taking up space in my house.

Where do you guys thing prices are going? Have they levelled out or is there more depreciation to come?
I'm tempted to sell my Griff and dive into a 4C, not many around at the moment making me think that peeps are keeping hold of them as investment potential.

They've bounced a bit from a bottom that happened around the first lockdown last year. I think they'll hold pretty steady at current prices, I don't see them going up a huge amount in the short term. I'm holding on to mine as I enjoy it. That it's holding its value is a huge bonus. I do think more of these have found long term owners but more for the enjoyment factor than investment factor.

I really think people have realised how special and rare they are. They are like a mini super car - the attention they get is amazing, the performance is pretty damn good and the running costs are very manageable.
