I am sorry. Anyone buying a RR sport for over 100k who isn’t a premier league footballer is either 1) nuts or ...2) . a jolly nice bloke who doesn’t mind losing ** loads of money even though he has worked hard for it.

WBAC never give the amount they estimate online for a car. They use the online estimate to reel you in and then expect that on the day you turn up you will take whatever the revised offer is.
I put my old Alfa 166 in a few years back for a laugh which I think I paid 2.5k for - it was probs 2008, car was a 2001 and I was brutally honest about it - listed every fault and was offered £75 I kid you not.

Sold the QPV at WBAC a few months ago... 55 plate, full history, excellent condition 59k miles.
Any guesses what I got for it?

5200 GBPs - realisation that life's to short so was clearing everything as quick as possible to buy a motorhome and tour Europe for a while.
2 months in already and not regretting anything

Good for you.....life is indeed too short and sometimes a bird in the hand.....means a trip round Europe in a motorhome

James, that’s pretty pimp. Bruv. I do like the SVR, though.

Jon, nice! What’s the real world price of this, if you don’t mind me asking? I can’t believe that Rangies sell without a big discount on list.

I hope you’re right Adam! I actually don’t know the answer, but I did the fantasy build to be able to show exactly what I’m looking for, in an ideal world...

I suspect the reality is that there will need to be compromises made, either in terms of spec or in not being brand new... however, my version of Man Maths tells me that if the wife is happy, and if she is driving a car that is way flashier than mine, then there is a significantly reduced likelihood of her moaning when I want to upgrade mine!…

This is the closest I can find used on AT

Your man maths is sound.

As Mrs Crud isn’t a car person (not even close, can’t see the point, waste of money etc) I need to factor in the cost of a new bathroom. And half a dozen sash windows.

That’s a lot of money to pose next to in your pyjamas at the school gate.

There’s a few of the school mums I’d like to see in pyjamas.... however, there are many more where I’d rather stare into Medusah’s eyes...
