The guy that owns the storage facility that the 928 and Jag are at has one and uses it a lot
It’s his second and has just sold it again to the original owner for an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Andy Bruce for those that might know him - he has a couple of nice cars…
£1.25m Carrera GT
The values of these really did stay quite ‘low’ for over a decade!
The death of the NA Manuel supercar has seen prices skyrocket though.
Iva and I spotted one on a Sunday out for a casual drive with a Singer and a few regular 911’s in Alford Surrey.
Regarding the mileage…..
It does seem criminal I agree. However, the owners of these cars nearly always have a collection of other similar supercars.
Some of them just don’t get driven much for any number of reasons.
There’s also a practice amongst super wealthy enthusiasts, of buying two of a model.
One gets a few mods and and weekend mileage, while the other lives in an air conditioned bubble.
If values go mad, they make a tidy sum. Then the driven one gets put back to standard also.
This happened with most/all the modded F40s out there. The coil overs, better brakes and bigger turbo kits all came off to return the value of a factory car.
All that being said, this one is now a museum piece!
It would take a very dedicated car enthusiast to buy one at that price and put a load of miles on it.
