From the way the advert reads, it may have been a previous owner that upgraded the alloy wheels (not the current owner).

Not sure how long this has been for sale as only just noticed the advert but 13k for what is the best 4.2 model is just pennies and so much car for the money. Service history not listed so not sure if it is a good one or not but worth a look if you are after a standard 4.2 for this money. These rarely come up for sale these days. Sport GT S is the ultimate 4.2 for me.

4D NI plate screams chav maintained on pennies, whilst ad says full dealership history.

Alcantara and carbon fibre interior looks very nice though.

Could be a chap with money.

The last one I saw for sale was up for 23k (Although was priced too high) and that had some rust on it and was serviced last at Sports Italia. This looks very, very cheap and perhaps for a reason.

MOT history is reasonably decent although two stand out items for a one owner car. A nail in a tyre got picked up in the rear then by the time of the next test it had migrated to the front (same tyre?).

And in 2013, the OSF tyre had exposed ply or cords. Another case of swapping wheels from front to rear?

With a reg no like WIG 3951, I wonder if it one of Elton John's old Maseratis?

Front and rears are staggered so guess he was unlucky with the tyres. Ply/cords can happen quickly if the geo is out or running factory front set up.

Yes I did take a look. The fact the last one was a pass with no issue is encouraging.
