Hello from Oxfordshire

[Mango]

Hello to everyone

Looking to make my first venture into either QP or 4200 ownership and I am sure I will have a few questions along the way

 

[npaskin]

Welcome to the forum, you will find lots of advice here - many questions may have been covered so a quick search is always useful.

QP myself, also Oxfordshire.

Hi Mango
Had my giallo granturismo 4200 for over 3 years and she has never missed a beat. Love her to bits, but don't be fooled by the reasonable purchase price, they still need the proper care and attention that any supercar demands, which does cost. Not to mention the 18mpg!!
Happy motoring

80p? Eeee lad, 'twere 30p a gallon when I started driving (and it were all green fields round here, etc etc): “You were lucky….But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.†(c) Monty Python...

If you are interested, there's a table of prices here:
