Lovely car. Have these wheels been resprayed silver (or is it my poor sight) as I thought GS wheels came in anthracite (not sure the correct colour name) as standard? Please correct me if I'm wrong ;-)

You are indeed wrong :)

Mercury grey was popular, particularly with the later cars. I believe (though not certain) that grey or silver were no cost options. You could also have ball polished finish which I think was a cost option but these are pretty rare.

To the OP, this has been for sale for a long time. I dont get why? Looks nice, sensible miles, sensible price..... Has it got poor SH or something, I wonder?

May just be the time of year. I don't think January-March is a great period for car sales ... post Xmas and all that.

My 3200 was Nettuno blue, lovely colour.

Yes, I got quite close to buying this car 8 weeks ago, but it's not an LE, the service history isn't perfect, clutch wear was a bit of an unknown quantity, there are a few minor body marks, and there was no real movement on price, so I bought elsewhere.........

On my phone that link takes me to some random menu screen that tries to get me to install an app instead of just showing me the car...so I closed the browser and ignored them. Some companies don't get the internet still...

Sorry, thread-jack rant over.

With you on that.

Mine are black Simon! Although the were mercury grey. I can't remember who owned the rare Rame Ghibli car (it's a kind of orange) but i'm sure it had ball burnished alloys.

Thats correct. That was Pat's car (Maser Sod) and I believe it now owned by Grinzz.

Interesting its not an LE on an 07, I wonder when it was made. What's it lacking? Xenons? Rear parking?

Isnt Graypaul a part of Sytner? If it was a nice example, Id have thought they'd have been better retailing it through the main dealer.

Pretty sure Grinzzz is looking to sell..Or he was when he let me drive it around Llandow in October......He was thinking of an Evora S I believe...His Gransport is stunning mind you in that colour.
