Suprisingly affordable? The suprise for me was to find one in my budget then having a further suprise that I can barely afford to run it after the purchase. 2nd Cerbera later I'm getting quite used to it, and in hindsight it's still the best car I have had and almost certainly will be.

Thats until 25 years time I can pick up a smokey Veyron with shopping trolly dents in the door and no MOT. Lovely!

Where can you get a 4.2 for 10k anyway? :P

If you're lucky, you can get a 4.2 for 9.5k! I did smile

Fair enough I'd say - what always get to me is steering people to the very cheapest examples of each car they find online to get a nice sensational headline, then in some cases telling them about the probability of facing huge bills (and keep schtum about it in other cases - I'd only buy that '£1,450' Jag XJR fully expecting to spend a multitude of that in the first year - either to get it up to scratch or, worse, out of necessity...).

And whats more, I've had no major problems (touch wood wink) it came with a set of 18" RL7s (along with the standard 16" wheels) and it's got Nitrons smile

You can have mine for less wink

Just seen Doug Valley have a cat-D cerb for £6000... really worth it? Mind you, I've bought from them before and would recommend going elsewhere.

I couldnt find a cheaper v8 the other month so I just opted for a good deal on another sp6. I guess stick with what you know. I may flog and get a v8 as its gonna have a 12 month mot in the next week or so
