Facelift is 09MY; earliest are 2008/58, front DRL LED's and rear LED's too.
For a quick sale I'd pass my car on for the same price as the black one (£21995) as my other GTS arrives on Friday and I'd rather avoid the need to put my QP into long term storage over the winter. And unlike the black one, it was fully serviced last month and has only done about 2k miles on its full set of new tyres - so should need very little spend on it over the next couple of years.
Am I the only one who thinks that facelift QPV looks a lot better than pre-facelift? Just something about the front that is subtlety different but makes it look a lot better in my view.
I'm not going to post every car I'm interested in but any thoughts on this particular one, it's been on the market a while:

I'd agree with that & was part of what attracted me to my QP Exec GT.I think the chrome 4.2 QP Exec GT wire grill looks the best.

A black 4.7 GTS recently sold at under £30k, the goldy colour one (that still hasn't sold) is at £27,940. Those, any QP V, above £30k and higher are on sale for absolutely ages which is a direct result of the new model (and nowhere near as beautiful) hitting the thirties which is simply down to people generally always wanting "the new shape".Very rare to see a 4.7 GTS below £30k. Last three I've seen sold have all been around £35k, and the two others currently on Pistonheads are both up at about £38k. The ceiling price, if there is such as thing, is high thirties for a good low mileage QP V 4.7 GTS.
And yet really nice ones, such as your absolute stunner that's in a rare colour with an even rarer interior, and the ultra low mileage one at Boler's are still up for sale at £21,995.I've yet to see a nice 4.2 GTS sell for below £20k. There was a 100k mile example with a red interior that was advertised for less, but rightly so. I'd guess at a ceiling price of high twenties for a top quality low mileage 4.2 GTS.
The biggest problem as I see it is that there are so few visual differences between the "standard" and the "GTS" facelifts outside of the wheels and the exhaust tips that, with a tiny pool of potential owners in the first place, most buyers won't justify throwing the best part of £8-10,000 or more on one.Obviously things are somewhat different for non GTS versions. And there is definitely a price blur around the £20k mark, where both pre and post facelift cars are available.
