I have noticed that some early V12V’s are in the 60-65k bracket, this one is the lowest I have seen so far:

Am I missing something, just natural de-valuation? Is there something bad about the earlier ones?

Not bothered about mileage particularly as long as the condition checks out.

In fairness I have a plan to buy in perhaps a year or so’s time, a wedding to get out the way first etc! Maybe that’s the wrong way round!!

Thanks guys, the CCB issues are definitely food for thought! Have any been converted to steel brakes?

I do prefer steel brakes in general in terms of feel and what can go wrong etc...

With regards to being a press car, if the condition checked out that wouldn’t bother me really, it would at 2 years old or so but not so much 10 years old if you get my drift.

Maybe they will dip into the late 50’s in a year or so? Really that seems to cheap for such a desirable model.

Quite aware that there will be running costs and risks etc, but somehow to me a V8V at 40k seems worse value than a V12V at 65k , the V8 is just not nearly as special.

I really want a manual V12 with good dynamics.

My previous lust was the Ferrari 550 Maranello but that is a different generation of car and has now gone out of reach towards the 100k point.

I guess it’s going to depends on how much the the UK and Global economy tanks or flatlines!!
