Sounds like potentially a great find, well done!

PMSL but seriously it could be a GLS still

Someone got a bargain then !!!!!


Bet the salesperson was proper sick after finding out how much they are really worth !!!




Doubt very much if this one is gonna be a 500 though, cant see any dealer giving away what was the absolute top of the range and hugely scarce most diserable model in its day !!!!

No way something like this could have been kept quiet for so long, somebody would have said something about it if it was a 500, you know what people are like.... " yeah i know where there's a delivery mileage 500 sitting in this old guys garage, never used...."

Not all of us can spend all day on forums! I do run 3 businesses as well!

OK ive spoken to the owner, bit of a case of chinese whispers, old style here Im afraid.

Its a Sapphire 2000E. Was part of a retirement package from Grays of Guildford. Done 300 miles from new. Owner fell Ill the christmas after getting it and has not used it since.

What an anticlimax.
