Most of these have been on sale for a while now, don't seem to be moving. Has the market saturated, or have they sold but not removed from sale?

I think I've just sold mine. Priced a little under the market, car is excellent. Sold in less than two weeks if sale goes through. Very sad to see it go and may be making a mistake but decided to go for a Speciale and couldn't justify both in the garage - hope I don't regret it.
Best car I ever owned, although the 12C for different reasons is nearly as brilliant and passes the 'wife' test better. Very underrated.

No, sold SOR via official dealer and I didn't see them advertise it anywhere. My car is very similar to the Hamilton Grays car in both spec and mileage but I priced it a little behind that car to make sure it sold. Dealer had no idea where to price it given proximity to the end of year where nothing sells. In fact their first recommendation was about £10k behind where I eventually decided to price it. I wouldn't have sold it for that and would have waited until next year. In the end I was a little uncomfortable with the price I chose, but felt I should give it a chance to sell. It did. I suspect the buyer got a good deal but it shows me the market is definitely there. The buyer requested a discount but I refused.There's nothing wrong with any of the RHD cars that are a hanging about, the Hamilton Grays car was mine and is simply stunning mechanically and aesthetically.
The market demand has all been about LHD more recently, but as those prices are rising they are coming closer the the RHDs that are static, that may kick of RHD demand.
I think both have plateau'd somewhat though and can't see much more price movement at this end of the season.

Given the above I'm very surprised this car hasn't sold at £160k with that mileage. Seems best RHD car on market at sensible miles and price.The market demand has all been about LHD more recently, but as those prices are rising they are coming closer the the RHDs that are static, that may kick of RHD demand.

Can see it being worth £10k more by spring 2015. Looking to finalise a deal on a Scuderia this week but otherwise I may have been tempted with a cheeky bid on the car

End of silly season slowdown....hope the fun continues next Spring.
Oh I'm sure it will and dealer knows they can just sit on it until they get a price they are prepared to accept.Whilst most cars are depreciating and costing the dealer money on a monthly basis CS and Scuderia are great stock once you've made the initial capital outlay. How many have sat unsold only for their price to have gone up and then sold.
Okay a dealer has to sell cars and make a margin to exist but I'd bet he would rather have a CS or Scuderia in stock than a regular 458.
Personally I've bought a lot of cars going into winter and always been happy with the prices I've paid even moving some on the following summer for a small profit ( and that's effectively buying retail and selling at trade ).
If only I had another spare £160k and a 4th garage to put her in
