Due to historic nature of the vehicle it is . I believe there are only 200 left of these iconic cars in the UK. I have never seen another of this spec or type, at the many car shows I have attended over the years. There are lots of receipts from Banks, Spyder, etc for the parts from the build in 2010 and beyond. It has been regularly serviced by myself each year and it has only done a very limited mileage over my ownership.
I will be very sad to see it go as I never intended to ever sell it! Her indoors!!!!
