Only real issue I've had on mine was knocking rear shocks at 11k, replaced under warranty. Had the Prodrive rear box swapped for a new one at 35months due to some surface rust spots, other than that, just tyres, brakes and regular servicing, including an oil change between services.

S70,

That looks Sweet as my friend!

What colour is that? Is it silver or the same Blue as i'm getting??
Please give me some more pitures of your ride, she looks Beautifully prepared!

What year is she? She really looks a minter. Do you polish and wax yourself or do you get the Detailers in?

If your interested you could have this for eight grand:-

It would come with a full service and six months tax. The mileage is now at 33,000

Check for knocking front shocks also, when you go round right hand corners and drive off the kirb slowly and listen.

From the pic, it looks as though the underseal has been pressure washed away from the wheel arche and the black plastic trim from the rear of the arch is missing. Might be worth enquiring into....

I can't believe you wont travel for half a day to take a look at this one...

If I had the cash, I would personally take the guy's hand off for that price.
