Hi all, just wanted to share a new purchase. Been looking for a manual car for a while and saw a couple of Z06s and Shelbys. Purchased this nice 2009 example just before Christmas and still had the balance of the 4 year Caddy service and warranty package. Manual box with full Liberty history on the dot. Had a great couple of weeks driving her, it has low gears but has immense torque particularly in second and third (the rear wheels still twitch in third when you gun it)!

The only moan is that the exhaust sounds a bit timid.

Very thirsty on super unleaded but for smiles per mile, it is hard to beat! 6.2 litre supercharged engine with 556bhhp.

It swallows two sets of golf clubs and takes 4 adults easy. Has all the toys as well, navigation, a/c seats, hard drive, recaros and a new set of Pilot Sports all round. Not many of these around so do wave if you see me around! I will have my PH sticker on the windscreen this weekend!

Hope you like the pics!
