Nice Low-Mileage GTS

Not sure how accurate this is but is a list of colours of 09-13 QP 4.7 GTS registered in the uk from new. Green appears to be the most unicornish of colours if true!

That's a really interesting site, and colour breakdown ! I'm a bit surprised there aren't more green ones. And presumably 'red' could be Rosso or Bordeaux?

It's a pity they don't track interior colours as well - that's probably more important to me. It bugs me that interior colour isn't a filter on Autotrader or eBay!

I love the colours and wood on 'knob'. A gentleman's express!

If KN07OBB was 2011-2013 with 30,000 miles I would consider buying it and putting it right.

Who would want a Black or Grey GTS... common as muck!! ;)

I do recall seeing that Green GTS come up a few years ago... think it had a brown interior, someone from here when to see it, and it didn't work out for one reason or another.

Me too, I don’t recall actually seeing it in the flesh but photos look great.

Amazed the plate hasn’t been changed, it’s not exactly a market the car needs to “stand out” in!

Ok GTS hunters, another 4.7 has appeared on autotrader. You know how quick the last 2 low mileage ones went, and the latest one only has 13k miles on and 1 owner!

A potentially marmite spec but at least the pictures are up this time!

Grigio Alfieri suits it beautifully... and whilst I do actually like wood and red leather within a car interior), I am firmly of the belief that their co-existence in the same car should be forbidden (I think the other example is that Red GTS on Millenium Heroes?). That said, 1 owner and uber low mileage...

Piano black trim would have looked much better alongside the red leather, in my opinion :)

Yes, I think titantex would match the exterior better. Plus black for the door tops and dash top.
Grey with dark red is fine I think in an Italian car. Like a Ferrari 550.

Good low miles, but you would want to know if that was a nice steady 1,300 miles a year, or 10,000 in the first year and then 8 years in a lock-up.

I could not live with so much red interior!

Correct; it was a very dark green which looked almost black until the sun hit it, and then the colour just popped. Wifey liked the brown interior, I didn't although I could have lived with it, but there clearly wasn't going to be a meeting of the minds with the dealer which was a shame.

Well, I like it.
I'd have a deposit down on that (subject to a subframe, variator check and a discussion with Marios). It would then be a keeper with all wood stripped out and trim re-wrapped in carbon.
Possible gun metal grey wheel re-spray too.
Perfect.

It's amazing what dealers allow punters to order. I was looking at a GranTurismo online and it was in the same Blu Oceano that I have but the 'metal' trim in the car was in blue and it ruined it IMHO.

That QPV with black dash top, door car tops and carpets would look great.

I love the red personally - blu oceano would just set that off nicely. Deposit taken according to autotrader ad.

How much were the ones that sold really quickly?
Same ballpark as this one with similar miles?

Just trying to Guage prices. I know it’s not easy with so few around but I guess I saw this and the white one as mid 20k cars?

You won’t be getting a low mileage one for mid 20’s from a dealer. Well not one you’d want to buy!
I would imagine the dealer has to pay around that based on the recent sales of 30k ish. There was a nice black one fairly recently that was miles in the 40’s up for 29k that sold too.

You only need glance at some of the newer Rolls Royce's and how they've been specified by their owners to get a sense of automotive 'bad taste'... the Kim Kardashian crowd etc.
