Yes I'm still looking but didn't fancy matt black. Both looked good..

Also the metallic black, 1 owner S SR, 15k miles car that was at Sytners with warranty etc dropped to £40k at the weekend but now disappeared so assume sold..

I'll keep searching for the right spec as not in a mad rush and will try to be patient.., ( not easy! )

Just bear in mind - your exact spec might not even exist - these are limited numbers vehicles not VWs 

[AdeMorton]

@Edmundo2 At the price it is, if its a sound car I might be tempted to wrap it in a colour that you like?

[jerzybondov]

How much would a nice metallic grey wrap cost? 🤔

[internets]

I had a quote to ‘colour change’ wrap my 944 and from memory it was around £2.8k or just over £3k to include the door jambs, that was around 2 years ago.

And another one for sale, these Evora's are like buses.

If you can get that car for 30k,I might wrap it twice, just for the fun of it.

The matt black car is now listed as SOLD.  Pity as I was trying to get to see it tomorrow.....

The search continues

Looked at my saved search from when I was looking 5 years ago 

there was 62 cars on autotrader today there’s 31 

I would struggle to buy an Evora today given my budget I had set myself which would have frustrated & depressed me in equal measures

The £30k looks like great value but I'm not one for wraps really, ( seen a few )..

I understand the low build numbers will mean limited choice but at this time of year/current landscape I'm OK with waiting..

Cheers, Ed

How long was the 30k matt black car on the market? A day, or two? Does suggest it was somewhat under market price!

[internets]

FWIW After some digging it appears your car@mmhexeter is the B&C car based on the wheels.Also was the car that appeared in the Discovery how it was made video. 

The car mentioned by @eddietiv was owned by @snoboardr and named Dexter

That's really interesting... Thanks v much for the info. It's genuinely fascinating to see this 'documented' history of it!

You just have to go for it when you see one, especially one that is so underpriced/undervalued. If you're not ready to move, forget it, you've missed it.

I can speak from experence.... a lovely Europa S that WillB had about 7 years ago and, more recently during lockdown, a lovely Evora from PJS which had 7 prospective buyers, 2 of whom offered £2k over price 🤔

The message is for anyone in the market, blink or deliberate too long, and its gone.

[Rambo]

How about this one? Down by £11,450 😲 IPS though.

I found the advert on PH just before midday yesterday, tried several times to make contact with seller and was only successful at 7 pm by which time someone (who was local) had already arranged to visit and was expected imminently.  Apparently phone had been on meltdown during the day....so yes, the price was particularly attractive - a reflection of the "marmite" nature of the colour?

[Rambo]

I saw the same "Marmite" colour on a Ferrari in the summer and it also looked a bit odd. A bit like a pair of unpolished shoes.

Both matt black cars were listed at about £5k below what you’d normally expect for a generic saleable colour (Stratton 2015 11k mile car at £40k I think?).

If you like matt black, however - then given that there were only 2(?) made from the factory then either of these were spectacular bargains. Hence quick sales - especially of the £30k car. When was the last time an 2012-on S was listed sub £30k? 🤔

[Rambo]

When something sounds like it is too good to be true it usually is 🤔

[jerzybondov]

I think the question is whether the ‘gotcha’ is the colour or not

[eddietiv]

Well you would think a true enthusiast would research the value of the car they are selling, perhaps these cars need a few k spending on them to reach their true value, true bargains are once in a blue moon, i live on the classifieds searching for that unicorn bargain car, and here i am still whiling away the hour's.

New owner has posted on Pistonheads Evora forum, they've been after on of several years so sounds like it's gone to a new home and we won't see it back on the market for a while.

[TdM]

That 30k one was bats**t crazy pricing. They must have been under pressure to sell quickly or just hadn't been paying attention to values. Whoever got that bagged a bargain.

 

The one above reduced by 11k, that must be a game to try to get interest. No slight on the car or the seller but near 60k for that? unlikely in the opposite direction to the black one.

[Rambo]

Probably needed a new clutch, A/C compressor, gearbox, tyres, major service LOL 🤣

Oh me of little faith 🤔
