On the hunt

[macdeb]

Hi, I'm possibly looking for a V8 Vantage coupe 4.7 up to 30k mileage and up to £50k max spend. Preferably in; Grigorio Titanio,Tungsten, Meteorite Silver or Tempest Blue. No Black or bright colours. Manual or Sportshift. No rush and want right car to keep. May be looking at a couple of cars advertised and just wondered if anyone here knows of any other that may suit.
Cheers,

Certainly a good idea to ask here occasionally. Sometimes there will be an owner thinking about changing.

As you have decided on an outline spec. (Coupe or Roadster), being patient is important, but luck may well help you.
I had to wait about a year, but it was worth it eventually.

For GrigioTitanio 4.7, there are only about 7 coupes and 6 roadsters in the UK.
Three were sold recently, and at least one of the others is a keeper.
Tungsten is a very similar colour, and there may be more of those around.

I have not looked at the Dealer Used list for a while, but was surprised to find the number listed has come down to 51.
It used to be around 80.

Have you left your name with a few dealers? They obviously know about incoming cars before they are advertised.
Keep in touch, so they realise you are serious.

Keep looking and best of luck.

Thanks David, edited for coupe. Missed out on last Grigorio as wasn't in a position to buy at the time. Been lurking for a while

Grigio Titanio is a fantastic colour but as I have recently found out, there are at least 3 different shades, including one which closely matches a Saab-spec colour, never mind Ferrari!.
Even with the latest camera analysis technology (apparently) I am still waiting for a good colour match for some "embellishments" to be painted up.
Maybe the titanium silver is easier to match.
