2013 V8 VantageS Coupe with Bamford Rose upgrade

[nw28840]

Does anyone know this car :

It has the BR power upgrade, they said it's still under manufacturers warranty until June 2016.

The power upgrade doesn't invalidate the warranty then ?

Thx,
Nick

It was the previous car that had the accident not this one

[michael gould]

ahhh ok ....couldn't remember

So are you saying this was their car ? The one they replaced the damaged car with and subsequently moved on to get into the GT3 ?

I spoke to the garage as it's local to me , they told me it's a 1 owner car , in that case it's been for sale a while i guess ?

Indeed. The 'S' was not the accident car. However, Rob >did< drive it.......

All that money spent and then unsaleable.

Thank you, I knew they had named the car , couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called though ! I do remember there was some kind of acrimonious parting of ways with BR at the time the car was sold. Just wondering if this was "due to mechanical issues" and a reason not to look at this car further ? If you can shed some light on this please PM me.

The car is for sale very local to me, I looked at the car and spoke to the dealer this morning and did think it must be owned by PH'er once i saw the spec sheet.

Thoughts on price ?

Thanks,
Nick

I'm not particularly aware of current V8 prices but it seems like a lot of car for the money !

Maybe call BR about the car for piece of mind or mechanical concerns?

Think someone said this car was on sale at Harwoods for a while.

Indeed, but a lot of mileage too

It's 19,000 miles on a 22 month old car - did Rob/Molly drive it that hard then - actually i don't think i want to know

But prepare yourself when you hear about my car then - It's a 2008 V8 Vantage Roadster and has done 65,300 miles.

I'm guessing it'll be worth less than £30k in the trade , so would look to sell privately and quickly if i move on "PEARL".
Mine has full AM Service History with HWM in Walton On Thames, next service due June 15 and warranty renewal also at this time.
It's a manual car, clear rear lights, premium stereo, tungsten grey with obsidian black interior and black roof.
Wheels are mint, new brakes and tyres about 1500 miles ago, front grill recently painted black. Couple of very small paint scratches on both the drivers and passengers door though.

How much would you say it's worth me advertising it for in the classifieds ?

What I'm alluding to is the age of the car versus the mileage versus the length of time it has been on sale. Unlike your car, the bulk of mileage may have been done in a short time

Makes sense, I can't remember when they sold the car, I'm sure it was a far while ago (+- 6 months i think) - so looks like at least 3 dealerships have had a tough time selling the car.
