    With considerable regret, I am putting my Maranello up for sale, to fund another purchase. I have arranged for it to go to DD Classics, from whom I am buying its replacement, on SOR, as soon as my new acquisition is ready for collection, but if anyone is interested in doing a quick purchase at a discount to what they will be asking, then please get in touch ASAP.

    It is available to view near Cirencester.

    I have owned it since 2012 and it is now showing 42,556 miles, just over 7,000 of which were covered in my ownership. It has been maintained by Carrs of Exeter, who have serviced it annually, although it has not had its 2010 service yet due to covid issues and the low mileage (668 miles) covered since its last service in December 2019.

    History as follows:

    It is finished in Rosso Corsa, with beige and black interior (retrimmed when I bought it in 2012, purely for aesthetic reasons - I hate black interiors).

    John, that’s a beautifully spec’ed car. Did you mean to say it hasn’t had its 2020 service yet?

    Please tell us what you’re acquiring. You have great automotive taste.

    Jack.

    Thanks, Jack, flattery will get you everywhere - £74,995 to you!:D

    Ah, yes, I see the typo! Yes, that should be 2020. I usually have it serviced and MoT'd in Exeter in November / December, but it's in my garage up in GLOS., so, with the Covid issues, I had it MoT'd locally and decided to leave the service until the Spring when back in Exeter, but now events have overtaken me.

    This is the new arrival, due in a couple of weeks - https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/147724759/

    That’s beautiful and a completely different driving experience. You'll be wafting around “the West” in the future....

    Thankyou! Not the best time to be selling, but the Bentley coming along when it did, set the timetable for me. If I don't find a buyer in the next couple of weeks, I'll let DD see what they can do.

    If it was on this side of the pond, I'd be all over it. Seller's remorse might be a problem ;)

    There's no "might" about it - it's a racing certainty!:(

    Now I feel cheated. That looks like a nice honest car.

    I have just started the search for such a car today.

    Unfortunately I dont think I could swallow the DD mark up. I just dont see the value of a dealer “warranty” on a 20 year old car when I would be at the other end of the country.

    Anyway the quest begins.
