I've Got One!

MickF · September 17, 2013

At long last after trawling the adds for over 6 months I have acquired my SC430.

The criteria was always low mileage (20k) with a FLSH. I had a secondary preference for 2006 model to get the upgrades (but before 23rd March 2006 to avoid high tax band), preferred colour (Montrose blue) with Rutland cream leather. I wanted to avoid run flats (2001/02) and the harsh suspension.

Well I got my first choice and willingly compromised on every thing else. It was simply to rare a car to let go.

2001 with 14,096 verified miles from new! The colour is Scarlatti Red with Helmsdale black leather which was not on the wish list but to be fair genuinely makes the SC stand out even more. The car was SORN and stored in the winter months and used very sparingly in the summer months.

It simply has to be one of the very best low mileage models out there however don't take my word, please check out the pictures. Glad to be now a fully fledged member of the SC Club.

Welcome to the LOC.

Wow what a find! It looks like a fresh factory model.

Where was that hiding then?

Just make sure the cambelt has been replaced on based on age rather than mileage.

Hi and welcome, What a little beauty, well done you for searching so patiently for all those months. Mike

Your patience has been rewarded,what a great- looking car! It's certainly looks pristine for its age, -and I would venture the opinion,that it would give most Porsche 911's a run for their money,like the colour also, kind of jumps out at you, nice.
