IIRC services are due at 12k miles or annually so the service intervals look ok. Next service is due this November as it's only done 2k miles since the last one.

Looks nice but 30k is now L405 money so it seems really expensive despite the low mileage. |

What do you think it’s worth? |

Realistically they seem to be up for between 15 - 22k.

Oh really! I thought the Overfinch would be more desirable? Does it devalue the car being an Overfinch? |

Maybe devalue is the wrong word. More it's a very limited market, ie you want an Overfinch and not a more "normal" L322. I'm not a fan I must add, but we all like different things. |

Depending on service history and the state once you get up close (does everything work, state of the paint etc), in my opinion that is a £25k - £27k car

You could buy it for £25k-£27k and try to sell it a year later and get £13k- £15k as has been said L405 around £30k this year who knows next year? |

I had problems with two Overfinch 22 inch wheels cracking on the inner rim, resulting in slow deflation. Was not happy to have them repaired myself, so replaced the entire set with standard 20 inch wheels. |

Personally the issue with Overfinch now is that they only do body mods of a slightly dubious nature rather than the full engine/body/interior mods of the past. I wouldn't put any extra money into a car with an OF badge on the front unless I really liked what had been done. The chances are the next person won't like it. To me the last proper OF was the 580s and that's 15 years old now. There is one on eBay but no surprise it has a dodgy engine and they can't sell it. |

Thanks guys for all your comments... ![]() I went to see the car yesterday and its in lovely condition, well looked after the last two services were carried out by independent garage PO or PQ online? The last service 2000 miles ago was a big one, all four tyres were replaced along with glow plugs etc 2,500GBP As I said its in lovely condition somebody has really looked after it inside and out. Few age related small markets on the paint and a small stone dent on the front of the bonnet. The wheels were all in very good condition I pressed every button and everything worked although I couldn’t feel any air coming through the seats? They felt hot alright but I couldn’t feel this hot/cold air coming through? I didn’t spend too much time playing with them as I wanted to drive it. On start up the engine sounded nice, once I’d adjusted the seat visibility around the car was good it all felt comfortable not like a big car that it is. I pulled off the garage forecourt and down the country lane it has a lovely smooth power supply from the V8. I used the paddles to drop a few gears and it took off really well with a lovely V8 burble and no engine rattle - very impressive. I couldn’t help feeling that it felt a bit dated in terms of quality and ride compared with my 12 plate sport which was disappointing, I wanted more in terms of comfort levels. It rattled a bit and bounced a bit but I’m guessing those 22’s wasn’t helping? I loved the note of the engine, the power, the space inside and all the buttons! I absolutely love the way it looks from all angles I love the full black trim inside but as I said compared to my 12 plate (facelift) sport it just felt dated inside and ride quality too. To part-ex with mine I’d lose (since Christmas when I purchased my sport) 5k plus I’d need to put 16k towards it. It didn’t have a night heater which I just fitted to my sport so I’d have to do that. it didn’t have power tail gate which mine has. It’s got no Blue tooth audio connection. So it would cost me 21k plus anything else I wanted to do it like install night heater to swap over for a car that has a slightly more dated feel to my car and less in terms of up to date equipment. I think its very strong on the price at 30k. I’d buy it for around 21k outright and keep my sport just to own it because I like it but in truth I don’t think I’d be happy to swap my sport for it. Ps the picture above of my good lady all 4ft 9” of her standing next to it. She liked it but felt the same as me about it being dated. However she could reach the peddles and felt comfortable in the driving seat |

For me that's simply over-priced for not a lot of extras against a decent AB or even Vogue SE
