Hello - I’m new to this excellent forum, albeit reading its threads for some time. Currently looking for a RRFF 5.0 supercharged MY2010-on, with black leather (no 2-tone, cream etc - kids!), condition / maintenance / history important. Grateful to hear if anyone is selling or for any spots beyond the usual dealers. Thanks, Rob

Mine has just gone to Auction (in West Sussex) Black Autobiography black leather interior cream headlining - 2011 5.0 supercharged. 53K miles

Traded it in so worth looking at the auction sites as it will be sold this week I think.

I only just bought mine (2011 Stornoway Grey 5.0 S/C) last Thursday, and I'd been really struggling to find anything other than black - 90% of S/C's seem to be in black...

I still have some links saved at home that I can pull out tonight, but there's one in Poole at £23k (which I think is on Autotrader) that I did look at just as it was close to home, and I thought that was expensive for the age/condition/mileage. There were a couple of smaller garages towards Sandhurst/Surrey or similar that didn't seem to use Autotrader - will see if I can pull those out tonight.

Unless you're in a massive rush, I can't imagine finding one in good condition in black on black should be very hard. I've been looking that last 2-3 months, and that combination was always coming up!

Thanks for the replies so far, exactly what I'm looking for!

Black exterior is fine, although ideally would be another colour (Blue anyone?!); given 90% of them are black I can't be too specific!

Black leather interior is a must for us, also black wood; plenty enough about until we specify this!

Paul - do you know which auction house please? Your (old) car sounds like just the spec, shame it didn't go onto FFRR!

Simon - would really appreciate those links, I'm looking this week.

Thanks again
Rob

I wouldn't worry too much about the wood colour Rob. You can get whatever it comes with coloured however you want at places like Garnish in Exeter - there will be others nearer to you. So its just a cost to factor in to the deal. See topic http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic42403.html

One word of warning though if "kids" are an issue (pardon the pun) - piano black apparently scratches easily.... Mike - MPx

2007 4.2 V8 Supercharged Vogue SE Tonga Green (2012-2017)
2002 4.4 V8 Vogue Bonnatti Grey (2008-2012)

Mike - thanks. Looks like an option but still £500-1000 to get the wood sorted, plus the hassle.

Simon - think I've spotted your old one!

All - really v grateful for any other spots!

Thanks
Rob

I can only see this garage still in my saved links, which seems to hold a couple of L322's, including currently a two tone black one… : https://www.croftonhamondcarsales.co.uk/used-cars .

The Vogue Centre obviously turns over quite a few and has constantly changing stock, so worth checking there.

If you don't want a black exterior, they do/will come up in other colours as well - I spent probably 6-8 weeks seriously searching and in that time found at least 4 vehicles within 60 miles that I was interested enough in to phone, drive to visit and/or try to make an offer. Three sold before I could get there, and I picked up the fourth one last Thursday!

Don't be in a rush, or just take a black one to make it easy - the right vehicle will come up if you are seriously looking, and able to move quickly for a good one.

Rdk - sent you a pm. "On first name terms with my local Dealer......now."

Lovely - looks very similar to mine which I picked up only 4 weeks ago. albeit it I have the light Ivory interior.

I hope you enjoy the collection and first drive as much as I did!
