I was looking at this on my phone last night. Having just read the ad, I think I could like with that interior. Stunning looking car. I wanted a BF and spoke to a mate of this guys when I was looking....at the time, he didnt want to sell and reading the ad, it still sounds like he doenst really want to sell! :)

IIRC, It came from GrayPaul and he had some trouble with it early on.... looks spot on now.

Fabulous! If somebody had described it to me rather than showing me the pictures I would have asked for a bucket to puke in. Having seen it I think it would be an amazing car to own. Assuming all that red leather was an additional cost, I can't see why they would have specced it with technical cloth in a contrasting colour - and the steering wheel is hideous. Nothing a good retrimmer couldn't handle and would make it a very unique car. I would have the tech cloth replaced with matching red leather, change the steering wheel to a normal black version and change the dash top to black. That would be a proper head turner.

Here is a question, how much to get my car changed to Bianco Fuji ?

Proper full respray - £3-4k as I believe the paint costs a fortune and you would want glass out, all trim removed etc. All 3200s have black engine bays, not sure about 4200s, so that could run to more work/cost. Your other option is a wrap at less than half the price of a proper respray, but there are a lot of cowboys out there. The benefit of a wrap is that you can return the car to it's standard colour come resale time. A resprayed car IMO would be harder to shift.

Wow fast moving thread....

An unusual colour combo, brave owners only & not for me... I think I'd feel like I was driving round inside an oversized anatomical model of an internal organ!

We've always wanted red cars & bikes but never had any luck with them; stolen or crashed into or made redundent just after getting one as a company car....

Nice, congrats to the vendor. I wouldn't be too surprised to see it at an independent for £31995 soon......

If it was mine, knowing there's only three in the UK (according to the ad. There are actually 5), is have gone high to start.

I dont believe he has sold it, IMO i think the seller is seeing how much interest the car attracts. If he has sold it i have a feeling it has done to a trader.

That's just what he told me Adam.

I was about to get over to have a look this PM.

Cheers

As I said above, my guess is that it'll be at a trader. I think 20k miles and BF make it a nice saleable car. If its gone to a private buyer, I hope its someone off here!

Dem,

I did a LOT of digging.....there was the one you helped me with, and three others I "knew" about....only one of these was for sale (the one you pointed me towards). The fifth and final BF, I know nothing about other than its a 2005 car.

He sold it to someone local. I called him last night to go this am, which he couldn't do so we arranged for me to have first refusal and see it Thursday am. I received a rather apologetic guilty message from him saying he'd sold it even though he'd given me first refusal. Can understand his predicament. Bianco fuji are very rare but the interior IMO would need toning down by a good upholsterer. Hey-ho, win some lose some. Gutted to miss out but there's always something better round the corner in my experience. It would be amazing if another fuji turned up but I'm sure I'll find something!
