David Brown Automotive GT depreciation?
Discussion
The David Brown Automotive GT ex demonstrator has just sold today on Collecting Cars for £275,000 which is a big depreciation from the £600,000 plus for a new one. It was registered 2015/16 and has done just over 12k Miles with ownership only with the factory.
The advert said less than 50 have been built but I believe less than a handful have been registered in the UK.
It is only a Jaguar underneath I believe so a high price still for a Jaguar.

Believe Bradley Walsh had one built,as you say big depreciation but i think he can afford it ,he seems to be on everything at the moment,The advert said less than 50 have been built but I believe less than a handful have been registered in the UK.

mind you ,you won't lose a penny if it's a keeper.
Very illogical buy when you could have had the best MK 2 DB6 in the world with good amount of change
or a very nice DB5 for the same money,maybe the guy is soooo rich he already has one of each of them

The worst part is that a beautiful DB9 died to create this monstrosity!

Amazingly, Walsh created his own company/car called the Vantare GT, which somehow manages to look even worse than the DB Automotive GT.

Didn't realise there was two makers of these cars ,just assumed they were one of the same,should have twigged when the Jag mechanics were mentionedThe worst part is that a beautiful DB9 died to create this monstrosity!
as i was aware of the DB9 mechanics after reading about Bradleys car somewhere. Either way WHY ??, makes no sense at these prices.
Understand the GT40,Cobra ,D &C Type thing having owned all bar a GT40 replica's myself, built well they offer the sense of occasion of the real thing
at a fraction of the price of original turning a drive on any A road into the Mulsanne straight if that's your thing,
Give me a DB9 and the change and i can blow it on the above .

But they haven’t sold 50.
If you go onto How Many Left and look at David Brown you’ll see thousands registered up to 20 years ago but I’m presuming they are agricultural machines. Since 2012 there have been one or two registered a year up to 2019. I’m presuming they are this type of car. So they might have registered 5 or 6 in the UK.
This car being the demonstration car has been sold for what reason? It presumably still does a good job as a demonstrator so why sell it? Cash flow seems an obvious reason. No demand is another one.
Maybe people out there realise the really good cars that can be bought for £600k+. Plenty of genuine Astons in top condition or I’m sure that you can find a rare rhd Ferrari 330/365 from the 60s for that sort of money.

The “Sir David Brown” of agriculture machines and then legendary “DB” Aston Martin cars is not the same David Brown for this thing.

If you go onto How Many Left...
That won't tell you how many have been sold to overseas customers, which would probably be most of the production run.If you go onto How Many Left...

I very much doubt if that will buy it but that was the highest bid , don't do a lot for me but tempting at that sort of money
IMI A said:
About as tempting as CV19
Ha! Ha! yes you are probably right ,not one thing or the other ,could buy a very nice modern real Aston for a £110,000, Can't believe that what we assume to be intelligent people would buy one in the first place
at the price they were when you could have had the real deal for not that much more
PS estimate was £210K-£240K so puts it all in prospective anyway Collecting Cars did well to get their high bid on the one they auctioned recently
if at all it was a genuine bid.
