Absolutely insane car for that money.

 

[MLB]

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

Company does exist with the guy on the website as director though - https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/15492496

Maybe he just decided car dealing isn't for him and is clearing the ones he has.

I'm hoping a CS baller steps in and buys it

 

[jenic]

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.

Recently setup company, dealing with C grade exotics, shutting down as quickly as it started?

Smells alot like money laundering.

 

[DaveL485]

Thats defo cheap. I was just looking at the Virage on copart as well! Hmmm. Clio V6 or swap up for a V12 Aston?

 

[MLB]

V12 Aston

 

[Advikaz]

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.

 

[BashRacing]

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.

Thats a much more sensible option because, despite the miles, I bet a lot of the big jobs have already been sorted

100k in service receipts and about 75k in fuel

 

[BashRacing]

Down to £13,900 now

Running engines make £10k, sell the engine and do a M57 swap then take it to AMOC events to see people's head explode

 

[R3k1355]

K-swap for the scene points.
