The carbon bits are a matter of preference and next to irrelevant in terms of value. Mine had some, but I’d have preferred it without.
As for the exhaust, there are numerous options so you can go as loud as you like.
With so few ever for sale, trying to pick a car on its carbon trim options or exhaust is not practical. You can easily add or delete bits as you see fit - just be sure to start with a decent car in the first place.

Hey guys, newbie here. I went to see this one and it looked and drove really nicely and I didn't notice any lack of carbon until stumbling across this comment! Are these difficult to shift without any carbon options? As I'm only really looking to buy something for a European trip this year, although will possibly keep it if I really like it.

Also while the exhaust sounds great from the outside, I was a little disappointed with the sound from the inside even in race mode, there was a distinct lack of induction noise. Is there anything which could remedy this?

Try running in race mode for 4hrs straight or at 100 and you will be glad it is not too noisy.

On the upside, its low miles, so unlikely to have many signs of wear and tear. But it’s the later 4 seater and white, which as Strads go, is the most common version. Maybe £60k as a private sale? Sounds like it’ll make a jolly lovely car for the right buyer.

Richard Grace had a Rosso Centennial which lasted less than 24 hours before being sold. He sells Stradales whereas others have them for months---or years.!..

My former German car import business partner told me today a Rosso Centennial like mine in LHD is currently fetching 130E somewhere approaching £112,000 ! ------Quite a leap from 70-75 in UK ...........and other Strads about 20% lower.

It’s the same for all cars pretty much. We complain about this and that in the U.K. but we are blessed with mega cheap insurance, stupidly low car tax and stupidly low car prices. My 2013 GTS Sport F1 would be well over EUR75k in Germany or Switzerland, while a few of my LHD Porsches would be well north of EUR100k too…

Opposite for boats. I saw adverts for two very similar boats yesterday (same make, model, age, etc). In Spain, £130k. Here, £220k. Crazy.

Business opportunity there.
I'm thinking of getting another car or two from Spain and selling them in France as I've had a couple of people chasing me for my XJ6.
French administration and holidays I've still not got her immatriculated yet but she's in the system.
