10,000 mile 1995 Turbo 'S'

Asking price £40,000
Looks a lovely example and should be for that price.
Individual arm rests and mirrors on the doors. My ideal spec.
What do you guys think. Way over priced. Lack of mileage a cause for concern.
I guess it depends if it has lived its life in a dehumidified garage.

It is a rare, lovely looking car but at a ridiculous price, by at least £10k, or possibly more, I'd say. For that money, and I know I'm not exactly comparing apples with apples, you could go and get a low mileage 2005 model Arnage. If you're not going to use it the value of it may be maintained but if you intend to do miles in it then the novelty of the mileage will be gone and so then will the value. You might be as well getting a 1996 model year car and save yourself a bundle of money.

From memory, these cars did have trouble with the engines, if I were you I'd do a bit of digging to see if that is the case and if this car has had them sorted or if it's likely to go wrong soon.

Very nice car, but at that price/mileage one for a collection rather than regular use. Other cars with circa 50,000 miles advertised at around GBP20,000...

I quite like this one: http://www.silverladyservices.co.uk/used/BENTLEY/T...

Judging by the number plate, looks like an import from Hong Kong so a buyer would need to check the spec (export model differences??) and more importantly the electrics as humidity causes problems on cars that have lived in Asia. Here in New Zealand, imported cars are always worth less because of this.

ghost motors have one with 66 k miles for a very low £14.995 ! Think I read before about there being problems getting parts for the 's' models ?? could be why they're hard to sell. silver lady and chelsea workshop hsve their cars for sale a long time.

I've previously read of some issues obtaining the Zytec ECU for the Turbo S, but the Ghost Motors car does seem priced very low compared to others.

If I remember correctly, it is the car that was offered on eBay by a private seller for quite some time.
