Hello,

Been lurking for a while whilst I have been persuading myself to jump into a FFRR.

The car I’m looking at is CN12 GKY. Does anyone know this car?

Thanks in advance.

Looks nice, needs a thorough checking over. BMW i3 Electric Car
2012 Full Fat RR 4.4 TDV8 (now gone)
2006 VW Touareg 3.0 TDi V6

When you say needs a good checking over, is that just in general for an l322?

Bought my L322** from them with a brand new MOT - no advisories & when next MOT due it failed with serious corrosion underneath - did not seem possible for tin worm to progress that extensively in only 12 months - just saying...........

** Now scrapped but I do still have the wheels.

Interesting to know. The reviews are pretty solid!

Deffo something I’ll be checking!

Never bought a car this old so it is somewhat of a learning curve!

MOT history isn’t bad neither is the price really. Being a LR ‘specialist’ he should know it’s not Stornaway grey but Orkney grey…….says he trying very hard to be a smart arse. 🤣 Stornaway was the 3.6 tdv8 colour? Egg on face if I’m wrong.
If you’re going to check her out, look for the obvious rust issues that ‘can’ be present on a ‘12 plate vehicle. Tyres are a good gauge to see what the previous owner wants to spend on maintenance.
Go have a look, you won’t know until you see her…….keep us informed. 2012 Orkney Grey Westminster 4.4TDV8 with Ivory interior.........nice!
Alfa Romeo Giulietta
Just one Montesa now, 349 White Wonder
Austin A40 Farina MK2
1975 Morris Marina 1.8TC

Cheers for the advise.

Also, good to know about the colour, haha.

Going to see it at the end of the week. Trying to stay level headed, but I hope it’s the one haha.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I have a 2011 model year 4.4 TdV8 Vogue in...........Stornoway grey! Sorry about that!  Drives:

2010 FFRR TdV8 Vogue SE - Zermatt Silver

Having said that, the one being advertised looks more like Orkney than it does Stornoway. Stornoway is a greener tint.

Looking at the pictures I think you're correct. There seems to be signs of rust inside both rear arches so definitely something to be checking when looking the car over. It might even be worth asking the dealer to send some close-ups before trekking along for a viewing. These photos are crops from the dealers set shown and I think you can see rust starting inside both arches.
