Things are a bit different in the UK post brexit though! Not really a relevant comparison. Look at the price of old Boxsters in the UK vs Europe Sent from my SM-S928B using Tapatalk

No comparison with JLR. I ran two XKR's, similar big coupes. A vast network of specialists who know the usual issues and vast availability of parts for reasonable cost. It is the parts costs on Maserati and high cost of general maintenance that make them trickier to own. Sent from my SM-S908B...

The US economy is in very different shape to the UK. Classic car and supercar prices are very strong in the US. Very different to our situation Sent from my SM-S908B using Tapatalk

Naim in 2012 Bentley GT. With double glazed windows and a quiet interior it was a phenomenal experience. Sent from my SM-S908B using Tapatalk

I know one of his Dad's mates. Insanely wealthy family, he can afford not to blink an eye. His wealth is generational, nothing to do with youtube Sent from my SM-S908B using Tapatalk

They really haven't to be honest. I've had three. My first was in 2001 at two years old I paid £80k. 2nd in 2007 at £55k, third in 2013 at £45k. Today average ones are still in the £50k range. 360's have pretty much been static. If you keep one for five years you'll spend more in maintenance...

Bentley were not allowed to state previous ownership when selling on her Mulsanne a couple of years ago. The most that could be said was one elderly lady owner from Central London :)

That's a shame. I'm guessing it would be prohibitive cost to change it back? Friend bought a Gallardo from new, had the Murcielago (as it was then) door conversion done and found the car impossible to sell three years later. Sent from my SM-G988B using Tapatalk

They are bailing out of Ferraris and Bentleys trying to sell them back to HR Owen! Sent from my SM-G988B using Tapatalk

I bought an E46 M3 ex press fleet years ago and it had a ton of niggles undoubtedly related to having had a very hard life. That was 20 years ago though but I'd rather a car that hasn't been revved close to the red repeatedly. A subsequent M3 of the same era was perfect, night and day...

Select sell cars that are not up to standard or Graypaul would be selling it. Sent from my SM-G988B using Tapatalk

Thats Westfield Shepherds Bush. Nuvola used to be based there. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

Exactly mate and no reflection on you but I was under no illusions that a 2 year service on a Maser with 100k miles can easily turn into a 3-4k bill! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

I spoke to Jake about this, very nice chap indeed but it hadn't been serviced since 2018 which put me off a bit at the miles. Will be interesting to see if it sticks or shifts. I ended up buying a different car. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
