I have bought the 2007 Gran Sport LE at Richard Grace Cars. Its Grigio Nuvolari with full leather beige interior. Only 25k miles. Take delivery next week. Its on his website "gallery" page 8 I think. But as people will ask for photos, here is the link:

Thank you very much to all the members who chipped in and gave me a lot of advice to understand these cars.
I decided after a lot of careful consideration to go for the GS LE. I felt that looking for a 4200 with CambioCorsa would give 90% of the GS LE at a (big) saving in price, but just decided at the end of the day to push the boat out and go for the very best example after I saw this one at his premises when I went to have a chat with him last week about Maserati.
It has had a full inspection at Autoshield and a new clutch. I test drove it and the CC box needs some getting used to alongside the 6-speed manual on the Turbo and the 5-speed torque converter tiptronic auto on the Mercedes. I now have an Italian stable mate for the Porsche Turbo.
I asked around a few other contacts (not on this forum) and the general advice was a recommendation for the GS because of the fewer numbers and that rarity is likely to make them more attractive in the future come re-sale time. That combined with the fact that there are not so many GS or 4200 available rather limits the choice and begs the question - how long to wait?
Anyway, fingers crossed its reliable as the Porsche albeit a different driving experience in terms of speed agility and noise.
