    I was gonna buy this car, but then I decided to buy a 512tr.
    The guy who owns it posts on fcars.
    I've been in it, and it drives solid and its got mainly Graypaul history!

    Well there must be a good reason why it is so inexpensive ?

    I think it had about 36k, when I saw it back in March.
    If it's gonna be fully serviced, then you should have no problems, especially if its coming from Verdis!

    It does seem very cheap but maybe this is realistic pricing for a quick sale of a car that has 'higher' mileage (than the cars priced above 30k).
    A little while back Steve f said that the cheapest he had seen one go for was 23 or 24k, if I remember correctly.

    The car actually belongs to me.

    The price is not worringly cheap but has been priced to sell.

    Please bear in mind that it does not come serviced-the ad. was wrong.

    Give Verdi's a ring and only speak to Karl and he will answer any questions.

    I am off to the beach right now but will post the history of the car later.

    After adding a grand for an annual service it still looks like good value IMO.

    Yes the car came from Graypaul in 2004 when they were in Loughborough.The car was originally supplied to the first owner by Fox & co. in Torquay.

    According to the service dept. the previous owner was very well known to them and had umpteen different sports exhausts fitted trying to get the optimum sound but in the end went back to the stock exhaust.Was this you ?

    If this car was yours then you had a very lucky escape.Within six months and four thousand miles the car had in excess of £15 k spent on it.Graypaul must have lost their shirt on this car ! Am i bothered ?

    Warranty work included:-
    New diff. (uprated 512 fitted) - engine out job
    New drive shaft seals
    New rubber door seals
    New odometer
    New engine sub frame carrier - engine out job ( 2nd time)
    Repair to fuel tanks -slight leak

    The car has since been driven a least four times a week and drives better than ever.No other car including my current 355 spyder and previous 355 berlinetta has given me so much pleasure.The day i collected it from Graypaul and drove back to London will be etched on my memory forever.

    Sounds like mine,tryed 3 different exhausts,either too loud or too quiet
    swapped it back for a 355 after 2 months(and got £3k more than i paid!)
    It was in fantastic condition,but drove like a dinasour
