£50k Strad

[StuartW]

Has anyone seen this before?

An odd description & very odd second picture. It's on the register but no details about how that came about and what was involved

It does sound intriguing though

whats the catch?

Hum, bonnet doesn't fit so its not a great repair.

Still a nice car though at the right price.

 

[StuartW]

And is it even a Strad bonnet? I can't see any extra vents

Turned up at an old airfield instead of a racetrack

Vents at wheel arches but no bonnet vents, defo an MC not sure about Stradale.

I would say CAT D. I cant make out a bit of the plate on dash, E** EOY is plate, so might be able to do a search on it.

 

[StuartW]

There are so few photos of it too so you can't check the splitter, exhaust, interior etc. Maybe he'll add some more photos in the future if it hasn't sold at £50k?

100% a Stradale. The rev counter on right and center of the dash and gauge fonts are Stradale spec.

Whether the car is "the full shilling" well thats a "horse of a different colour". Loving cliche' today.

If the bonnet is wrong maybe it was a front ender and the Strad bonnet was too expensive and a used GTS bonnet was used instead?

I think only a fool would sell a non CAT 2011 strad with 30k odd @ £50k.

That car commands at least £65k

Looks that way. First glance it's a sh!tty repair. If the bonnet doesn't fit you've got to wonder what's so bent that it won't line up.

Could be something like a radiator mount or?

Needed shock bushes and tyres fairly recently FJ11 EOY

Are Stradales logged as "Gran Turismo" in the V5?

That's what I was thinking too

There is a Strad for sale with 30k on...or was and priced at a dealer at 74k......so private maybe 65k plus as you say......

This is a cat car and one that doesn't look like it has had a great repair so is 50k too much....Probably.........Always remember Loz giving great advice on Cat cars and he said it needed to be 40%/45% cheaper than a normal car to make it work...................Sure that's what he said....And lets face it he was the master of of this type of buy.

Sounds reasonable logic. If it's a Cat car, I would only entertain it if I knew the seller / garage that repaired it or was having the work done myself
