OWNERSHIP DETAILS
This car has had
a total of one former
keeper and been in the same ownership since it was one year old.
Specifically, this car was purchased on a full maintenance lease
which means that all repairs and servicing did not cost its keeper anything,
therefore there would have been absolutely no motivation for its owner to have
not had any faulty items attended to irrespective of cost.
DOCUMENTATION
As you will have already seen from the above links all the
necessary legal documentation is present as follows;
·
The full current style registration document (V5 or ‘Log
Book’)
·
HPI certificate
·
The service history book
·
Full original driver’s pack and instruction manuals
·
Both electronic keys
·
Please note that this car is not due its first MOT until
July 2011
BACKGROUND TO THIS MODEL
This is the current model 5.5 388 BHP vehicle and with the obvious exception of the significantly
greater price and waiting time, there are no tangible differences (both in
appearance and condition) between the vehicle we have here for sale and the one
you would receive if you purchased a new example from your local main dealer
today.
Needless to say that with a private number plate it would simply
look like a new car as its condition would not lead anyone to suspect any
different.
If you are looking for minimal cost,
basic motoring then this vehicle is simply not aimed at you however if
performance, style and exclusivity are more of a priority, as well as fantastic
value for money (now that someone else has paid for all the early depreciation)
then this model offers the best combination of these attributes in the market
place.
Specifically, if you have been waiting
for one of the very best of these models then we would encourage you to take
the time to read this listing and study the 120+ photographs as this vehicle is
in truly exceptional condition.

COSMETIC
CONDITION
As you will have already seen through the above links the condition
of this car is very different from the vast majority of examples you will find
at almost any age in that both the interior and exterior have remained quite
untouched by the passage of time and mileage (these are wealthy peoples cars
and this group of individuals are not always the most careful with their
possessions).
Furthermore it has not suffered the regular and often extensive
‘wear-and-tear’ so often afflicted by children during the ‘school run’ – basically its owner did not use this car to
carry, DIY projects, children or pets.
The interior and upholstery is exceptionally clean being totally
devoid of any trace of wear, stains or other types of general abuse and being a
non-smokers car (the cigar lighter is even unused) there are obviously no burns
or lingering smells and the ash tray has only ever been used to store coins
etc…
Moving on to the outside this very much reflects the condition of
the interior in that it basically looks much the same as it did when it left
the factory. It is completely free of any trace or suggestion of damage, bad
paintwork, rust or poor maintenance; if you look very closely at the pictures
you will for example see that even the backs of the mirrors are without any
scratches and the AMG alloys are in perfect ‘as new’ condition.
HOW CAN YOU BE SURE THIS IS A GOOD CAR?
It is very hard to accurately represent a vehicles condition
simply through words and pictures however as experienced car dealers with over 80
years of combined experience within the company there are a number of things we
have learnt to look for that give a good gauge of a cars history. This is the
reason that we include so many pictures of things that you are probably not
used to seeing in a car advert; specifically we include these pictures for the
following reasons.
1.
Door & body
shuts - so that you can inspect for yourself that there is no rust in
the seams, evidence of replacement door skins, ‘over-spray’ from previous
repairs or other signs of a ‘very bad car’ à The car you are
viewing has no rust or overspray on any door or body shuts and has not had any
replacement door skins
2.
Wing bolt heads - the front wings of most cars are fixed
to the chassis by a set of small bolts that are painted at the same time as the
body when the car is new. If a car has been in an accident these bolts will
have had this factory paint coating damaged as a result of them having to be
un-bolted or adjusted à The car you are
viewing has never had its wing bolts undone or adjusted and as such they are
complete with their factory paint coating
3.
Panel gaps - individual manufactures vary, however
they generally expend a great deal of effort insuring their vehicles leave the
factory with even panel gaps as it is an inference of both the quality of the
car, and their manufacturing process. Unless a car has been in an accident
these gaps should be the same as when they left the factory à The car you are viewing has all the
correct panel gaps and its shuts and closures fit as they should
4.
Factory
stickers - when a car is made the factory apply a number of stickers (both
on the glass and in the shuts) that cover various information or warning
messages. These ‘factory stickers’ are always missing from cars that have had accident
repair because they are virtually impossible to obtain outside of the
manufactures factory environment à The car you are
viewing is complete with all its original factory stickers
5.
Supplying
dealer number plates - if a car has both the original front and rear number
plates as fitted when the car was new (rather than an accident repair centre)
this is significant because it indicates that it is unlikely to ever have had
even the kind of light ‘bump’ that would shatter the original plates à The car you are viewing has both its
original dealer supplied number plates
6.
Keys - if both
original keys are present and they each work in all the locks it is a strong
indication that it has not had any locks changed, which would have happened if
it had been broken into or stolen at any point in its life à The car you are viewing has both
original keys and they work in all the locks
7.
Glass - all the
glass on an accident free car (with the exception of maybe the windscreen) should
have the correct factory insignia and originate from the same factory date as
if a car is in a big accident invariably it all gets broken and when it is
replaced the date stamps will be different à The glass on the
car you are viewing has the correct insignia and originates from the same
factory date
8.
A full service
history – apart from corroborating the vehicles mileage cars with a full
service history will have had any recalls and other work carried out as soon as
they were appropriate as well as having had all the minor (for want of a better
term) ‘bits and pieces’ attended to. Additionally a full and regular service
history indicates that the cars owner had the money and motivation to properly
look after it and we have traditionally found that this provides a good
inference on their approach to taking care of, and maintaining the vehicle in
general à The car you are viewing has a
full service history
9.
HPI Clear – the HPI
register or “hit list” as it is sometimes know is the national database for all
accidents, finance and theft records that relate to a vehicle. A car’s HPI
certificate will show each category and report any applicable data and for a
car to be ‘HPI clear’ it must report “NOT RECORDED” after every category which
means that the vehicle has not been involved in any insurance payouts,
write-offs or theft and also that it has no un-cleared finance still owing à The car you are viewing is HPI CLEAR and
is supplied with an original copy HPI certificate
MECHANICAL CONDITION
As you would expect of a car with this mileage and after viewing
all the above photographs, there is absolutely
nothing wrong with this car in terms of its mechanical condition. Most
certainly if you have not driven one of these before you will be very surprised
at how nice they are to drive. The roads around London are always full of
incredibly expensive new cars but I can never really work out how people ever
manage to rationalise the cost or what their owners could possibly be getting
that a car like this does not offer, except maybe a large monthly finance bill
and the guarantee of savage depreciation in just two years and a handful of
miles (as can be evidenced in the price of the vehicle you are looking at).
Specifically, it runs just as it should, does not leak or use any
oil or water and is a real
pleasure to drive. Additionally as you would expect of a full service history
vehicle, the antifreeze and brake fluid is clean being free of contamination,
as is the oil.
TYRES
This car has a full set of factory specification tyres and the all
tools are all present and correct. In respect of individual tyre treads they
are all excellent just as you see them in the pictures at the beginning of this
listing.

with their purchases.
POINTS OF NOTE;
·
As is the case with every car of this mileage that has not
needed to have had a re-spray after an accident there are some very small stone
chips on the vehicle but nothing of any concern and certainly nothing requiring
any attention or that would ever be noticed by anyone but its owner.
That is it! – Just so there is no confusion
there is nothing else of any material note or potential concern regarding the
cosmetic or mechanical condition of this car. When assessing this vehicle in
respect to others being offered for sale, please bear in mind that we have
explicitly stated whether all the mechanical and electrical items work or not,
and have described in detail as well as shown in close up everything of
possible interest.
