Quite honestly it's not really worth anything. These are such an enormous money pit taking it on is almost an act of charity.
The prices of components for these cars make grown me weep and with the V12 engine, everything is doubled as there's two of them required.
Maintainance on this car is similar to a Gulfstream jet in terms of cost.

Major peice of car to take on.
My brother had one 3/4 years ago and he had a £4k bill for a service.
People are blinded by the spec and initial 'value' of the car, and buy them for a bit of luxury thinking they'll be like a Mondeo to run.
It's still a £100k in running terms and will spunk your wallet dry, even if it doesn't break - which it will!

Great engine - just that the sensible thing to do is to ditch the problematic LH system and throttle bodies and fit Mega squirt with Mustang throttle bodies.
Extract more bhp and have reliability with a simple system - and fitting a mega squirt system from scratch can be done for about 1500 gbp.
This is what i'm doing with my M120 fitment in the Brabus w126 SEL....keeps things simple with more power.

It's been relisted a good 5 or so times, never reaching the reserve...
