Where is she now?

So one Saturday around Jul/Aug time last year, I went to view a beautiful Red GranTurismo, 4.7 (MC Shift) at a garage called Dovehouse Motor Company in Rushden, Northants. They were local to me and it was a bit of a last minute, speculative thing as the ad had caught my eye in Autotrader that week.

Unfortunately due to my own lack of organisation/planning I arrived about half an hour before they closed so although I got a good look at the car and heard it running, (what a sound!), I didn’t take her for a test drive.

I believe the car was either 2008 or 2009 and although I can’t recall the mileage I felt at the time that the asking price of £33k (ish) was a tad on the high side.

The vehicle belonged to one of Dovehouse’s customers and they were selling it on their behalf. Although it was several months before the ad disappeared from AT, I regrettably never went back.

I was wondering if anyone on here knows her, or even owns her now? A long shot I know, especially as I don’t have the reg no. but thought I’d give it a try and see what comes up.

Have you tried ringing the Dovehouse? They’re proper petrolheads - the boss has a Mclaren F1 GTR which he uses on the road.

You would also find the listing by putting numbers at the end of this URL:
https://www.dovehousecars.com/car/1450
As cars before about 1450 are sold.

Ah yes! I'd have never managed to get there, thank you so much.

It was this one:
Not sure what I'd do with the info if I got it though, as I'm not trying to persuade someone to sell her. I just wondered if she'd found a home with a forum member?

It's a bit like when you wonder what happened to an old girlfriend. You don't want to get back with her necessarily, you just wonder where she is and how she's doing.
