Don't know the car but it looks lovely and a good price for a face lift. Always loved the face lift wheels to. Best wheel after the Stradale ones for me.

Seems cheap enough, probably due to the mileage.
Has the base wheels fitted which I am not a fan of but other than that I'd just check on the actual company. Have other people dealt with them with good experiences?

Looks like a nice car, but as the owner of a 2012, pre facelift car with 36k miles, it looks depressingly cheap to me...

This must mean my car is probably worth £40k’ish from a dealer, and more like £35k in a private sale.

Says Carbon Fiber front splitter. Can't see one myself, nor the mirrors for a car with supposedly a Carbon Pack on.
It's got carbon trim inside, but not the steering wheel.
As mentioned it's got the Astro wheels (personally can't stand them).

Looks like an MC Shift rather than Sport MC. The Sport MC's had a Gear knob didn't they?
Where's the car mats gone?

I know the company as it's near my parents. But know nothing about QCC myself.

I think you'd be better off speaking to Dickie Grace for your first GT. He know his stuff.
He's also go mine as well to sell. Though I'd better 'fess up that fact!

It’s got carbon mirrors, front split and rear spoiler (I viewed it briefly last week) looks fairly well kept inside. Full main dealer Service history (yet to actually see the paperwork as I wasn’t there long) I’d be very interested in anyone who could shed some light on this possibly being an MC shift (I’d prefer it I think)
I’m not to fussed about the wheels.
Got a test drive booked at 3

Thanks Geoff, your look beautiful although i have my heart set on the facelift. All the best with the sale and if this is a no goer I’ll give dicky a call.

Anyone got any good tips on convincing a wife who doesn’t like the look of them into thinking it’s a great idea, hoping the noise on test drive persuades her lol

Hi Contigo, are you saying you think this may be an MC shift ? Price doesn’t match if it is although they could just have made a huge error ?

Its definitely an MC Shift as no auto gearstick so well priced for a facelift car even with those miles on it. Appears even dealers get confused!

I've visited QCC in the past for a look around as I pass their Rayleigh/Wickford site regularly. Think they purchase px's from main dealers and they seem decent enough. Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think Mr Grace bought a silver GS from them in the past.

Send them to specsavers. I have genuinely never heard (until now) anyone say they don't like the look of the Granturismo, even the slightly less attractive sport variant.

More to the point.. It's an MC shift 100% as per the above comment, so include checking for a clutch replacement or test on the service history.
Also bare in mind the dealership, regardless of how well the big glass windows are polished & the furniture looks wont know f*ck all about these cars....

I would have Geoffs car over this with a nice few £K left over for a holiday & a road trip any-day. Then again, Who gives a f*ck what I would do..

Price matches I'm afraid, they are in the doldrums at the moment. Dealers are knocking these out cheap simply because there is a limited market and they can't shift them. The last facelift at silvercrest took one year to sell! Check the clutch wear as this car is at the mileage where it might need a clutch. You could buy Geoff's which has had a recent clutch and would give you a £10k saving on this car or mine even cheaper with recent clutch too but more mliles.
