Yes, I think so, there are a lot of good parts on my TDV8 which will be worth removing and selling. The interior is mint and everything works. My plan is to slowly break it over a couple of months and remove all the bits I want for the 4.2SC when it comes, and then sell the rest either here on the forum and/or eBay. The first thing to sell will be the seats as a set, they are in great condition apart from the usual driver's side bolster which has a bit of wear.

Picked up my new 4.2SC today from a great small dealer in Nottingham - it's a 2009MY 58-plate 4.2SC Autobiography in Buckingham Blue with a Parchment leather interior. One owner from new, 85,000 miles with a FSH and most importantly, no significant rust! It's in lovely condition, just a few minor faults which will be rectified shortly:

It will be interesting to compare when I’ve had a bit more time in it, but the headline figures are:

Your new RR looks almost identical to my own 4.2SC Autobiography, barring I have cherry wood rather than Piano black!

Looks really nice that. Tell me, did you have the egr valves deleted and blanked on the 3.6 ?
