It was one of my favourite 2 seaters. It was owned by someone on here for a short while. I think there is a for sale thread somewhere. That and the Victory Blue one that I believe Ewan knows where it is…View attachment 97995View attachment 97996

I think these pics are the Blu Victory example not the ex-Nuvola written off one? The Blu Victory was for sale not that long ago privately from the owner and may still be?

I chatted to someone recently that turned down a 2 seat Strad on the basis of a rumour it might need new brake discs. Now, I accept that the carbon discs are not cheap (!), but even so. Seemed a little strange to me, as these cars are hard to find, while brake discs are readily available and easy to change.
Dick Lovett recently sold a lovely low mileage black example in perfect condition. But it was nearly £80k from memory.

The Victory Blu car was advertised on Facebook a few months ago. The asking price was a little punchy given the mileage and it being a private sale. But it is unique.
Not sure whether or not it’s still available.

Also interesting given CC discs can now be refurbished by specialists for a fraction of the new price.

Who does that @MAF260 ? Rebrake in Munich used to but went bust. General consensus is that it’s not really doable or someone would be doing it in the U.K.

I was aware of a company in Germany, likely the one you mentioned. I didn’t know they’d gone bust. My fingers remain crossed that my carbon ceramics won’t need replacement during my ownership!

Be cheaper to buy a new Bentley and use the ceramics off that.

That car was sold as a trade deal yet it was still quite a good deal. It looked great with the cage and graphics
