Looks great in the pictures, I hope you enjoy it for a lot longer than the last couple of owners.

I hope so, I'd keep it if I could. It's one of my favourite ever cars, but there comes a point where it needs to go to a good home who will cherish it; Robin is the right man for this.

I was about to call Dicky when I heard you bought it before it even arrived with him!

I therefore classify this car as being mine and would appreciate if you could deliver....

Well I missed out the last time it was for sale in May 2015, I called Dicky the same afternoon he put it on Facebook but it was already sold, so I didn't hang about this time.

Very nice, now sell me your Bora, pretty please???

The Spider came off the ramp today so I need another project.

Whether or not I keep the Bora long term (bearing in mind I have already owned it 17 years) I don't know but I do feel I want to enjoy it agin at least for a while when it is finished, so joking apart I will only part with it at this stage if it was an offer I can't refuse.

Love the car Robin, gorgeous red interior to contrast the Nero/Nero. Very jealous! Ever since I saw Myles's MCV, I've had car envy (something I don't get much anymore) and would love to, one day, own one.

Perhaps one day I'll be able to live the dream of owning an MCV and a Strad at the same time!

Congrats . Hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine. Be interested to know if you find the steering sharper than a normal GS as it feels that way in mine. I'd also recommend the larini sports cats and X pipe which have added a few bhp and decibels.

It's funny that, those pics were awesome but it's had a lot of work and TLC since then and is far better than back then.

I'm sure it is, you can see scuffs on the door cards in the ones on the original thread but the pain looks better, probably just some photo enhancement etc... Still a stunning car and easily the best looking of the 4200/GS cars.

Congratulations! I do really like that alcantara offsetting instead of plain black, and I have to be a fan of the red piping and carpets!

It is definitely a sharper drive than a standard GS. I transferred the Larini manifolds, cats and x pipe from my old GS onto the MCV so got a fair bit of extra go and decibels already :) I am sure I am going to enjoy it just looking forward to to some sunnier weather!

Was asked today would I have a Stradale or MC Victory didnt have to think MC forsure.
Look after one here and love it and thankfully because of my passion for most of that era I get these cars to work on.
