Yes it was the one with no shown reg plate. I bought it from a very reluctant seller Brendan. Hopefully i will care for it as much as he and his wife did. The one thing about buying from a non dealer, is you get much more of the flavour of the previous owners. I saw the Silver blue one near Halifax as well. Again a really lovely guy and very very honest.

Agree! I bought mine privately from a lovely chap in deep south Wales called Bob (78 yrs old). He was adamant the price was non negotiable so as not to waist anybody's time. I bought the car, he then gave me 2 brand new OEM rear tyres (saying they were no good to him now!). As we were leaving he shoved £100 of the money I paid him down my cleavage and said "You will need this to get you home". He rang me a few days later to see if I was enjoying her, I mentioned that the window mechanism had failed but this was just one of those things as this could go at anytime...............Three days later a cheque arrived in the post for £350!!! I told him it was not necessary but he insisted on it to clear his conscience!!!
I am still to this day in contact with him, he went on to buy a GranTurismo as the clutch was starting to become a bit harder for him to use!

Hard to get people like that you know! The art of being kind and courteous has been diminished somewhat!

yes the W8 is a great engine. I like the sleeper aspect of the car when you leave most things on the road standing. doen about 200,000 miles in mine
