Does anyone know anything about the M12 for sale in Sevenoaks dealer? Silver, 9,500 miles, fNsh, warranty - £30k. Seems fair enough to me. Just wanted to check if anyone had any history?

Dont know anything about the car (except it looked fab to me last week,damn my sensible other half!!)but the guys that run the show,Dominic and Alister,are both good guys,sold them my old Porker last year got a good deal and no problems.(Adds:not connected in any way,but they do seem to stock/sell a lot of 'our'type of cars)To sum up,go see!

I had a little peek - thought it had a lot of stone chips so wondered if it might have been tracked. However, a friend of mine with a TVR advised me that they always look a bit chipped at the front because the paint doesn't adhere so well to composite bodies...or something like that. Dominic and Alistair both seemed like really nice guys.

Apparently it has had the ECU upgrade,i was told no track sump as it has never been used on a track.Don't know about paint quality but the car is so low (and lets face it quick!)that stone chips are the inevitable outcome.Still wish i could buy it!But i guess i am more mouse than man!!

The car has been in the window for at least 3 months....they should take a "reasonable" offer. My classic is same age and colour, used daily and not tracked...and I only have one or two stone chips (no more than on my more normal cars)

Been down and had chat - checked the paperwork - put down a deposit. I just couldn't resist any longer. £30k on the nose (it was up for £30,995). Probably not the cheapest ever but cheaper than I've seen in other dealers. Plus that price includes a full service which will be done this week at Mole Valley and 3 month warranty. I've rung Mole Valley and they've assured me that they'll go over it with a fine tooth comb. If anything is untoward, I get my deposit back. Ideal. Vroom vroom.

Cheers guys. I'll stick some pics up as soon as I've cleaned it this weekend (that's gonna be an experience in itself by the sounds of it - no more taking it through the local jet-wash).

welcome rich

you won't regret it

can't understand why you would want to clean it straight away though...website seems to indicate a full valet is included in the price...and it has looked pretty spotless every day I have passed it.

Must say I'm quite grateful somebody's finally taking it on, felt like I was driving something common - what with yours,and the one that keeps frequenting MY car park.

If you're in the immediate area we can maybe do a convoy sometime.

Aye, that's the one Mr.Noble. Gonna lose those blue straps, though. Nasty.
KentViking, I'm actually in North London, but I'm sure I'll be along to one of the gatherings, once I've tamed the beast.
(P.S. I'll be calling you by your nicknames until I can be arsed to check your profiles find out your real ones).

That's a damn fine colour combination IISSM.

Shows the lines off brilliantly, looks clean even when dirty a fine colour!
