<div class="bbWrapper">Whilst walking the hound today I passed a local used car dealer , I pass it at least twice a day and normally have a look at what they have on offer. They normally have some interesting vehicles within the £6 -&gt; £30k price range but today they had this beauty on display :<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.srmotorcompany.co.uk/used-cars/mercedes-benz-amg-gt-4-0-v8-biturbo-gpf-c-roadster-spds-dct-ss-2dr-glasgow-201905218176224" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Used Mercedes-benz Amg Gt Convertible 4.0 V8 Biturbo Gpf C Roadster Spds Dct (S/s) 2dr in Glasgow, Hillington | SR Motor Company Limited</a><br /> <br /> It got me wondering how a car of such value and age would end up ,so soon, in what is essentially back street garage and who would part with a six figure sum at such a place ?<br /> <br /> K</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Possibly the garage owners car? Similar valuable ones crop up at some of the small dealers in Elgin which are reported to belong to the owners</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I once went to see a £40k E63 on a muddy back lot in Newbury that was 10x the price of everything else on the yard. Indeed it was the owner’s car.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Or, they have been asked/paid to sell it on behalf of someone...</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Call me old-fashioned, but,whilst that is a stunning-looking piece of machinery all-in-all, I'm not sure how I'd feel spending six figures on a car when the everyday experience behind the wheel would be using identical switchgear to a 2-litre diesel E-class.</div>

SOR very likely.</div>

Regardless of the technical wizardry, the whole car doesn't look like £120k. If I were spending that kind of money on a car, I'd want every trip to feel like a sense of occasion.<br /> <br /> The Alfa Spider in the original advert has more style about it.</div>
