I have no idea what this is worth, that being said I would have expected it to be a lot more than that.

Amazing bit of kit

It's been for sale for a while. It was previously advertised at £235k

Considering what it is and it’s uniqueness, surprised it’s not double the price.

Beautiful bit of kit.

It is actually my car and I have owned her from new (2007).

Very small market for this type of car and they very rarely come up for sale.

The factory has been through some turbulent times over the years but they are still manufacturing cars but in very limited numbers.

Yes, there have been cars advertised for sale but these have been priced anywhere from £350k to £500k by unrealistic dealers.

My car is the only one to have ever been UK registered and has gone through a £56k refurb to get her registered and sale ready.

Nothing else comes close to the performance of the Apollo and this will be a bargain for someone!

This is somewhat off the mark:

"Started at £190k I think."

I owned the UK rights to sell the cars back in 2007 (just before the global economic crash!) and the base model started at around € 300k + taxes.

My own car was priced at just under €400k + vat when new.

How does it compare to other supercars? I imagine it’s very race car like ie uncomfortable and completely impractical.

You would be surprised as she is actually very easy to drive.

Rear visibility is not the greatest but the suspension (KW designed and built the dampers and springs) is actually very supple for this type of car.

I have driven the car to London & back a few years ago and it was no problem at all.

The only thing that I can't live with is LHD as I have never been able to adapt to it - must be me!

wow, not many cars as rare and dramatic at that price point. Good luck with the sale.

"were any RHD UK registered ?"

No other cars have been UK registered in either RHD or LHD.

It was only possible to register my car once it was 10 years old (no IVA test needed) as I had tried (and failed) to get the car through the IVA test on 2 separate occasions in the past.

The car is an absolute steal at £200k and is probably priced too cheaply if I am honest.

At the time I bought the car (2007), I could have got 2 x F40's for the same money!

Dooh. I wouldn't dwell on that thought.
1 F40 would be my dream and the 1st car I would buy if I won the Euro millions

I agree about the price, if the timing was right I'd have it
