Do Shiltech warranty the car? When I spoke to them a few years ago about a car they didn’t warranty the cars they were selling and they didn’t consider themselves acting as a dealer, merely an agent introducing a seller and buyer. If this is still the case it might change the perceived value equation as it would effectively be a private sale.

Can't see how they can do that selling it from their trading premises but happy to be proved wrong.

I look for transparency when someone has a car up for sale. I like to run into open honesty, but if I have to discover things for myself - such as finding out a car has finance on it or it's on "brokerage" - then I get uncomfortable and would probably walk away. I like a traditional deal where the car is owned by the garage - so they actually have the legal right to sell it - and it comes with a meaningful warranty.

Technically they are able to if they aren’t handling the transaction or selling it as a dealer. They were acting as a shop window. May have now changed of course.

Is it due to the upgrade to double-clutch gearbox or other issues too ?
Build quality, progression through the years, gearbox hardware and software to name a few. Drive one, they’re light years apart. I told @Guy not to buy one as I’d driven an 05 with a clean bill of health from Ferrari, new clutch, belts, brakes etc. It was crashy, uninspiring, just not a pleasant place to be, after driving, he agreed. I then got an 07MY one in LHD that was well looked after and drove miles better than an 05. I had also the chance to drive a 1to1 2009 which was even better again. Guy came and drove the 07MY and couldn’t believe the improvement over the early car; so much so we managed to find a 2008 for him which he currently owns. Ask him, he knows his cars very well indeed, and loves his Scaglietti.

Might just be the light / reflection but the headlamps look off colour and the front bumper faded.

Yeah I noticed that too. If there's anything that you notice in a photograph then it must be really bad in the flesh.
