I am looking for a GT to join my GS here in the Cotswolds.

It must have;
  • Light coloured interior
  • Sub 35k miles
  • Auto or MC, but the later must have no more than 15% wear
  • Full recorded SH with receipts
  • No more than 3 previous owners
  • Post engine mod for the variators
  • Not White
  • Preferably oval exhaust model
My budget is mid £30s.

Please DM me should you wish to discuss.

Possibly a very very small window where the mileage requirement and clutch wear rate may be close to what you want. 30k miles would probably be around 25 to 60% worn clutch depending on driving style , journey type, software used to read the clutch wear and possibly even the day of the week and how close to dinner time it is ;)

Hopefully something will crop up that fits the criteria. Enjoy the search.

Why not dump the GS and get one of the last of line Granturismos? I wish I had bought one. My 2011 4.7 auto is just about to go through 60,000 miles and whilst it still drives very well (largely due to nothing suspension wise on it being from 2011 apart from the shocks) the last of line cars do look very nice and correct (IMHO) the awful front end treatment of the Sport.

It is a thought, and like you I am not keen on the MK2 facelift... but I have spent a small fortune on getting the GS to a 'perfect' level so would like to keep.

If I did sell it I would probably move onto to Aston or Ferrari as a late GT is still a 10 year old model and the depreciation will be horrific compared to an early GT.

I had a look at some late DB9s last year and realised that they offered little that my GranTurismo did not have. I've not fully bought into the look of the two 'new' Aston coupes but they seem to have sold a few. I presume you mean a front engined Ferrari as a mid engined car is very different in what is offered?

26500 miles, new Pilot Sports all round, newly refurbished Neptunes, dropped off today for its service, Warrantywise Platinum warranty until Dec 2023 (transferable because my claim for the wheel bearing is less than the cost of the remaining warranty)
PS. It even has a light interior.
Why am I selling? Because I'm taking a job without a company car.
I think you may well have had a result here, I'm due to drop it off at Nuvola after its service and he will charge more and the warranty won't be as long and he only just got the Platinum warranty last time so the warranty won't be at the same level.

That is my preferred spec... shame about the main-dealler price.
Feels like a 35k or less being a 2011 car Pete. Although that is very, very low miles. The price they are asking gets you a facelift car with 34 to 45k on the clock. There is a lovely rare silver private sale face lift car for sale at 39995 that is the starting point before negotiations.
