Thanks Paul, from what I can gather Zermatt is a slightly darker shade, Zambezi looks a brighter /whiter colour almost in bright light, whereas Zermatt is a slightly grey/silver.
Obviously silver in bright light, but in flat light it looks 8)

These always make me laugh, the seller of my car also used it as a selling point.
If you're intending to spend this kind of money on a motor, are happy to suffer circa 26mpg but considering a car with a cheaper tax band over another then you're over-strecthing yourself D3 incl. genuine glass windscreen, front bi-focal headlights, full width rear bumper, self levelling washer bottle contents and audible 'tick tock' indicator stalk
911 GT3 had one [never]
R8 V12 just gone [past me]

I know, I was asked the question via pm, so I thought I better answer it
When I had my Evo X Rs I didn't even know the tax was £410 until taxing time, as it wasn't relevant when buying the car, costs what it costs to have fun Procrastination is the thief of time!!

In my job i see many stories like this .Recently i had a guy come in with a landrover series 2 swb V8,he told me he wanted it rebuilding/rechassising as he was planning on selling his discovery( a very tidy late 300tdi) because the tax on the disco was £205 per year and the 88 was tax exempt
When i suggested that the car tax would cost him less than £4 a week and he would be paying at least double for his fuel he finally saw the bigger picture
Talked myself out of a job though

Guy's-I was interested to know about the FRL liability on this-very nice-car...although it's only a couple of hundred quid a year difference between the higher and lower bands I tend to keep my cars longer than 5 years (my last disco for 13 years) so at least a grand potential difference over ownership period. Not a big deal compared to fuel,depreciation and other running costs etc but to a question worth knowing the answer to - guess there won't really be many of us who when given the choice between two otherwise very similar vehicles would choose the one with higher overall cost of ownership. Just my two bobs worth etc

Thanks fort the real world input steve Some out of principle would rather not putmore in the governments coffers just because the same vehicle fell the wrong side of some made up line to generate more income for them not to actually spend where it matters
forgot to put, it also has front and rear PDC, ( parking sensors)
thanks, Nick. Procrastination is the thief of time!!

Well of course it does, it is not remotely deficient in any other way. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you'd also forgotten the 007 Aston Martin kit pack addition it has with the hidden compartments full of guns, armoured glass, portable defib, laser of some description - I think you get the idea

Sorry, I thought some did and some didn't , so I thought I better mention mine had them (if people hadn't noticed my nipples on the bumpers )
I actually opted for for the 007 leisure pack , Drinks cabinet, pole dancing platform, a couple of fluffers, and last but not least, a hungry toothless dog and a jar of Nutella

With regards the various interested parties, all I can do is say that the first to actually give me a deposit or come and buy it , gets it.
Sorry , but having been messed around and let down many times in the past, I can't I'm afraid assume that someone saying they want it will actually follow it through and buy it.
Its too stressful and time-consuming getting the car ready to be picked up, only to find the buyer never actually turns up for one reason or another, then the vehicle needs readvertising, other interested parties have gone elsewhere etc.
Obviously I wouldn't arrange for multiple viewings on the same day....that wastes others time as well.
I can't think of a fair way to do it, so basically it's first come first served so to speak..
Thanks , Nick Procrastination is the thief of time!!

I would love to buy it but sadly i have to sell my car, then wait for some extra dollar in February. If you still have it in a few weeks, i will be up in a flash, but i doubt that this kind of car will be hanging around for long. It looks a fantastic buy and i wish you all the luck in selling it.
