Brabus Rocket! Only RHD in the World!

Keighley Sports & Performance : MERCEDES-BENZ CLS 6.3 SV12-R BI TURBO 750 BRABUS ROCKET ONLY 1 IN UK

What incredible depreciation!!!

Edit: Not sure that for £400K I'd not be a bit disappointed by the bog standard interior...

That's been up for sale for quite a long time.

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Was at Greenoaks for about 2 years before Keighley had it.

As has been said, it's been for sale for a VERY long time - must be going on 3 years now.

MB Brooklands for £195k. Sold, then reappeared a few months later for the dropped price of £175k.
Dropped again to this price, then moved to Greenoaks.
Then Keighley has had it themselves for a while.

Not sure why it didn't sell when it was with official MB Dealers

Rumour has it, the original owner was the infamous internet forum poster "btops" - he was sent to prison for being a very naughty boy!
(Although I can't varify this ownership.)

I'm not surprised Keighly haven't sold - Just Google them and you'll find all sorts of negative feedback. Such a shame to end up there, as it's a cracking rare car!

What or who was btops and what did they do ?

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

I had been watching it for 12 months plus at Greenoaks. When Mrs D came round to my way of thinking it had disappeared from their website, only to reappear at , which put me off. I'm guessing Greenoaks let it go for £60k ish.

 

[mercboiuk]

What or who was btops and what did they do ?

He was gentleman who imported & sold addictive substances.
Well known on a few big car forums for his "Twins" (matching Ferrari 599s) and his two Veyrons among his extensive car collection, most of which was siezed by the authorities.

Just a side note - I mentioned it as a possible negative to buying the car. IF, and I'm not 100%, it was owned, then siezed, it may show up on car checks.
That may be an explanation for changing MB dealers?

I have to admit, it wouldn't put me off and I was really after a one off vehicle, I would be tempted to over see Keighley's internet reports.

Needs the proper grill & black wheels.

Just read some of their reviews............
one went a bit like this.......They buy sh** cars, roll them in glitter and sell them on.

Trade centre in their title I think hits the nail on the head.

That said, I dare say they have happy buyers too - they're just harder to find then the fed up ones!

Re the Greenoakes ownership.....I saw the car when it was in the show room down at Reading. Belonged at the time to one of the owners of Greenoakes.

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Still for sale. Such a shame that a car as special as this is only being enjoyed by the people who dust it and test pilots

[Charles Morgan]

The body text says £380k and the top bit says £285k. A price drop of £95k seems a touch on the large side.

 

[E55K]

I guess £95k is just loose change if you can afford £300k+ on a car!

 

[Conquistador]

They've had it for about 4 years now I think! And will be holing on to it for a lot longer if their recent customer service review are to be believed

 

[whizzkid11]

Keighley provide all the footballers and WAGS with their cars, as well as rental - so don't think their clientele are petrol heads - just a bunch of posers with money to show and photos to have taken.

I was actually up there a couple of months to see a car I was interested in and the attitude is not particularly about customer service - that said he did just hand over the keys to a XFR.

imagine phoning the insurance company up and saying you want to insure it ..... "whats one of those "....

I was there in Keighley a year ago looking for a 4x4 for the wife, they wouldn't drop £500 on a £14995 RR

Something doesn't seem quite right. 5 Asian Gangsta types milling about with over £4mill worth of vehicles sat inside and out and no one seems to give a ****

Bit of a front some something me thinks

The Rocket was there all nicely polished up, shame as it is a cracking looking car

I'd be careful making statements like that, I believe they are on here too. I wouldn't mess with Asian Gangsta types myself even if you have a "Beast"

Its certainly a company I would avoid, a quick Google check,
