One for Maff

[Alfie]

If I recall a short while back, didnt Maff say he wanted one of these?

Edit: sorry Maff, just noticed its limited to just 199mph. You wouldnt be interested in it then I guess.

Oh but I'm sure tht limiter could be removed . Same eng as the SLR? Safety Car in front on 1 of the pics - taken @ a GP? 2 of them together! Don't see that evry day...

Damn, and my birthdays coming up too, bet that will go for abour £155k if it gets that high on ebay.

£155k is cheap. Unless you mean ex-VAT.

Funny how he's had his car "Since August 2005", and yet there are no pictures of it....

If his really is RHD, then it's rarer than he claims, as I think they've only made 40-odd like that

The fact that he's apparently not driven his, suggest he bought it for investment. If so, then why the heck is he selling it on Ebay? Put it in the hands of broker, and you'll do far better.

I'd sooner buy one from a reputable source, where you have some comeback if it turns out to have been stuffed or something.

There's a black one around somewhere for £175k....

Totally agree. I'd never buy a car like that from Ebay.

Tom Hartley has a RHD version on his site - its a bit more expensive but if you can pay that for a car with limited usage potential (in that its not really an everyday car unless you live in Dubai) then I should think cost isn't a major concern.
