It was daft, they promoted the car as a road legal version of 'The car that won Le Mans' and then they came up with something very different so many of the advance purchasers tried to back out.  And IMHO it has looks similar to other Jags and Astons:  just look heavy.

Last service cost 62 k........... eeek: eeek: eeek: Shocked:  WTF ..

Left hooker... ::)

Missed that .. redface:  My service with 2 new "boots" ...400 snotters ... Shocked:

In fairness knew would be high ..got purchase price down for new bits .. Thumbs:
My service costs that with no new tyres, you were lucky

 eeek:  at main "stealer" tho... rubschin:
I could get it serviced at about half that at the wonderful Kemps garage but I'd save ~ £1k over 5 years and maybe lose twice that on its value as main service dealer records make a difference.

Which brings up another point.  Did about 500 miles in it the last year.  So should I see that as £1k insurance + servicing wasted or £1k in petrol and tyres saved?   rubschin:

What an ugly heap.

Anyway just looked at the App and seems I've done 13,180 miles in mine.  Thanks to lockdown it hasn't turned a wheel for 17 days when it did a whole 7.3 miles.   What a waste of a seriously fast motor  cry:
