Lots of owners unfortunately and one of them decided to cover it in some kind of red plastic stuff so no idea what that might be hiding - but it is RHD and has a BIG engine.

Ah - is that why it doesn't seem to be a perfect fit?

If so, a bit much on a £60,000 motor.

I think quite a few people replace the command unit with a new one as technology changes so fast now. The command is a standard size so it's easy to find aftermarket stuff that fits.

Don't let that put you off buying it :)

No, Indeed. It's just that the seller seemed to be focusing a lot on that rather than including some pictures of the engine and other, more relevant parts, as I think most would not be buying it for the satnav.

Oh dear - definitely couldn't live with that colour interior (not sure that really is Mystic Red though, is it?).

Anyway, I'd be interested to hear what more knowledgeable contributors feel about it only having had 3 services in 9 years, even though it's done very low mileage?

The seat colour may be a bit bright, but nice leatherwork.

Personally, I would not be bothered about the long interval between servicing. Probably belonged to some Non-Dom, who visited the UK infrequently and the car spent most of its life in storage (wishful thinking).

The plus side is that that particular G was registered just before 23 March 2006, the date after which you'd pay over £500 a year on road tax.

That dealer has some other interesting cars too:
