Need a pretty big set of balls and equally big wallet for that.

Mentions unique colour, pictures taken in a dark garage.

Full service history and last serviced at 84572 miles. Compare to mot history, that was in 2021.

No mention of any other servicing, at that mileage a suspension refresh would probably be needed, just a set of dampers is £2000+.

Glorious v12 sounds just don't come this cheap.

Bit of a dodgy one, domain was only bought in Feb - purevehicles.co.uk

All their cars have that blurb about selling stock, they only have 3 cars, and only 2 extra when you include sold cars.

Also reductions were very fast:

Probably because the mot was coming up and it failed today 😂

The owner set up a car leasing business at the end of last year. I wonder if it just didn't work out and this is him clearing stock, still seems a really odd way to do it. Can be sure if this is legit that the warranty is completely worthless as there will be no company soon.

Still nothing explains that green rascal they have, but I do like it 🤣

They're not that costly to maintain as long as you can do it yourself, they're just awkward as f**k to work on so the big service bills are mostly labour,

the engines rarely give much problems and the gearbox is just a 6HP from BMW etc of that era, rear diff's s**t themselves occasionally buts that's about it.

10 MPG gets boring quite quickly though.

Early Gen DB9's can be troublesome as well (death rattle).

But yes, a lot of car for the money.

The Vantages drives a lot better though.

As long as the pcv valves are changed on the spark plug service and the oil level regularly checked there reliable

Engine tick is a known issue. Wearing bores oblong. I've seen numerous.
Door Modules.
Corrosion on subframe.
Cat ingestion (rare).
Random electrical gremlins, often due to low battery voltage tbh.

But as you say. They're generally reliable.
