Just browsing for a Rapide after considering a DBX to get 4 seats. Still not sure on the performance SUV concept, so thought hey, what about those old Rapides, 4 seats ( I only need occasional rear seats, but for adults), hatchback boot to get luggage in, comfortable and look gorgeous.

Wow, there are so few available (30), and the S seems to be holding its price well. The AMR is doing very well at £125k+.

So are people holding on to them because they are unique and probably never be repeated now the "4 door" is an SUV.

They look even better than I remember now. I can see prices holding and maybe increasing as the last V12 saloon option other than the quite different Bentley.

I think the only issue is £2 a gallon of Vpower.

I noticed the same for the Vanquish S recently too.

Yes, that's the one that prompted my wider search. There are 30 for sale in the UK from what I can see, it will be interesting to see what this goes for, currently £40k but the reserve not met yet. Add in some commission and it looks like £50k is where these are at privately, mid £50 for dealers. Couple at Aston Bristol that look nice, but probably getting too old for the Aston network now.

Good luck with that. Was about that in 1985.
