40,000 miles in a 720s

Another Thorney video, this time as per the title suggests.

Worth noting this is a 2017 car which I believe has the red swoosh/older software version:

I'm starting to crave ownership of a 720s, they do seem good value on the second hand market. Maybe after I've purchased an FF or Lusso, this will be next on the list.

Great video and further evidence that these cars like to be driven

Interesting vid, but it would be handy for prospective owners if they’d said what the total maintenance bill was over the 40k miles rather than just the bill to get it ready for sale. Having said that, I assume that it was only just out of warranty by a few months so maybe the 8k was the total!

I get the impression the video’s short length means it’s more of a myth buster, that these cars aren’t fragile, like all cars if looked after they relliable.

Yes you can’t deny there are issues with some cars but take your internet-exaggerating glasses off, look at facts and it’s not every car which is the impression some people have.

I’ve a target price in mind to switch to a 720 Spider from my 650 S, so am looking forward to the switch.

Not a bad idea. I had a 650 spider then 720 coupe so thought it might be time for another open top tourer. Here seen being loaded and taken for full PPF, should be ready to collect next week.

Wow, not seen many in silver - think the lighter colours suit the 720s as it shows the bodywork contours better. That looks fantastic.
