Love the Khamsin, it looks better by the day.

When I was in Milan with some other Alfisti I visited a private car collection called the Blue Team collection.

They had this Khamsin which has clearly left an impression on the wall!

I wonder what that would look like on a new Audi S3 with fake quad exhausts :p

Probably a little black spec on one side

Being sold by a Cardiff dealer with a very memorable style of taking photos.

Dreamspec trades from premises with a long and chequered history. If it has ended up here, it doesn't bode well.

Andrew Williams previously featured on Rogue Traders for dodgy SOR deals.

BBC One - Watchdog - Company response

Car dealer caught on camera lying to his customers

Was Williams Motor Co, then The Orion Solution, now Dreamspec. Andrew incorporated this latest iteration in Jan 2021, then he resigned 3 days later whilst Richard Williams (son or nephew?) takes over as sole director for 11 months before it returned to Andrew again. I would be very wary of dealing with this chap.

Typical BBC bias of portraying a hardworking car dealer trying to have an extravagant lifestyle at the expense of others as some sort of criminal...grr!

This Gransport looks like it could be quite good value for someone(?). Very good service history and quite a clean MOT history. Coming out of longterm ownership. The front sub frame has just been replaced. The paintwork needs a little bit of tidying up and I'd at least budget for new clutch as that was last done 10 years ago ...

How much is a clutch change these days @conaero and @marios kriticos ?

This blue is a great colour really makes the GS pop, interior is probably more of an acquired taste for some maybe. Clutch was changes 10 years ago but has only covered around 15k so assuming no issues with the clutch plate tangs should be OK for quite a few miles but sound advice to put the cost in the war chest just in case.

All depends on hammer price plus the commission 6% plus VAT assuming it meets reserve

Yeah ... it looks like a £20-23K car at forecourt price. However, sold as seen at auction I think it would be prudent to put £8-10K in the war chest bringing it down to circa £12.5K incl. commission(?) Not sure about that interior though, I think it reduces its value further. I suspect it will not hit reserve.

Actually for me, personally, the horrific bit is the grey. If the tech cloth went with something a bit more funky/interesting, it would be cool.

The blue and grey reminds me of an OAP’s legs, varicose veins and all…
