Looked a really nice example from the small pictures provided. I liked the alcantara dash, must have cost a pretty penny to get all that covered :)

Hope it goes well, be interested to hear about the experience as heard good and bad about Collecting Cars - such as pressure to lower reserve etc.

A friend recently sold their TME on Collecting Cars and mentioned being put under a bit of pressure on the last day to lower the reserve. Infact he said they were on his case all day!! He also had to use their photographer and pay him directly. Think he got just over £45k, had set the reserve at £50k and was hoping for closer to £60k

I used them to sell the Exige. Yes they pressure you at the last minute to lower reserve but you can just decline. That’s what I did. If it hadn’t sold then I’d have just kept it a bit longer.

I used their photographer as they want a lot of photos. He was very good to be fair and not overly expensive I didn’t think.

I'm tempted to use them to offload the vantage but prices seem to be down for most things on their auctions right now. Probably just a sign of the times but one similar to mine failed to sell yesterday for 24K :|

I am just dissapointed you did not get a watch and cigar shot into your sale photo's.

Must admit was tempted to bid but Sandra did not want to go back to an S1 😥
