    Beautiful car!
    I was checking on this car every so often on DuPont Registry, mulling over the idea of purchasing it as a 2nd Speciale....but you took care of that for me!
    Enjoy!

    Thanks, it’s an unusual spec but beautiful and I love it. You might need to look around again as doubt I can see myself selling this anytime soon. Can’t wait for the lockdowns to end and start enjoying it!!

    Congratulations. Great colour combo as well. The prices for these in the UK seem to vary dramatically, is it all down to spec?

    Thanks to all for the congratulations.... just waiting for the weather to improve and the lockdown to end here in the UK so I can use it!!! We have some brilliant historic, classic and Supercar events here, and hopefully they go ahead in 2021.

    The car was purchased from Graypaul, Nottingham and although only 1800 miles, four previous owners so might have been sold by Prestige previous. Graypaul were fantastic throughout and even let my German Shepard dog into the showroom!

    Mileage and colour seem to make the biggest difference in prices with left hand drive cars being quite a bit cheaper for obvious reasons. The number of options doesn’t make too much difference to price though.

    I agree, I chose a dark gray since I am not a Red car kinda guy. I also wished mine had the front suspension raise feature. I am starting to think that these will hold their value a bit more being the last aspirated engine of the period. Everything else being made now are twin V6.
