Interior with Poltrona Frau leather seats in great condition with the leather still very soft treated with leatherique regularly. Double glaze windows keep the cabin quiet.

This car is still on original clutch and in March 2020 at 43.5k miles the wear reading was showing just under 65%. In my opinion the best proof to the care that all previous owners have shown along with the service history.

Cheers guys! My wife and i planning to move houses and this is really an exercise to raise liquidity available for the move. Otherwise the car has been great and is ready to be enjoyed.

I do like the colour combination, especally the interior, white/cream leather with blue piping is up there in my favourites, It's so much nicer than black

Good luck!

That looks lovely, nice colour combo and great service history, 60% wear at 43k is good going a few more miles before that will need doing.

The car has been in operation and serviced regularly since new, so there is no deferred works. It is on the button. I drove it last year to Germany and was faultless. It was also very relaxing. Have done the same trip in two M3s, RS4 and 456GT and the QP was the nicest one to be for such a long drive.

Regarding the condition, according to Evo magazine "the owner should expect 20-25k miles from a clutch if driven sympathetically”. This car is still on original clutch and in March 2019 at 43k miles the wear reading was showing just under 60%. In my opinion the best proof to the care that all previous owners have shown.

Interior in great condition with the leather still very soft and with minimal wear.

Annual Tax £315 per year.

Private plate valued £840 included in the sale. HPI clear and no finance.

Looking for £13k OVNO.

If anyone needs a nudge or excuse here it is.
Last month I fitted a new set of front P-zeros and the ride improved significantly.
Also reducing the price to £12.5k.

Washed and polished this time in the garage as the weather was not doing any favours.

Is that the grimaces of resistance I hear.....it is futile you know.

It should be. It really should be (futile)

But I'd have to out the Jag and I really ought to find out what I'm doing for work next year.

Plus the real likelihood is as soon as work has a clear future, it'll be a GTS or a DB9. And then I'd need to out the QP.

But by god, what a load of car!

Hope I am wrong but I think;) you are a tad optimistic

I honestly feel that this example is great value as offered. Reasonably low miles, acceptable colour combo and good history. While in my garage in addition to the annual services it had new engine mounts fitted, had the subframes rust protected, and had a few cosmetic updates, e.g. fitted new wheel studs as the previous had corroded on the chrome surface. It really owes me a lot more than I am asking and if someone is geniunly interested in her I am sure we will figure out how to walk away with both parties happy.

I think it looks like a great car at a great price. It is just there are less buyers out there and lots of competing cars in this sector.

For someone looking for a QPV specifically it has to be a good option.

So sad that these cars just don't sell.....Another great example. You buy a QP now as a keeper unless you want to give it away it seems. Hope someone realises what a great car yours is and takes the plunge.

Agreed but these are.the times we are now living in. Great for buyers.

You can have a chuffing nice mini collection of usable interesting cars for 100k now. I'm living proof

If I can add some more garage space I'd love to add a few.more on the list.

As the subframe thread shows if the are kept well indoors the keep well. Keep them outside and not used and they suffer.

Plug the reg into WBAC and that is the price area people look at (I know), regardless of condition. If you are lucky someone may come along to assess the condition.
This is the consumer world we occupy unfortunately
