    5 years already?! Mate I remember those times like they were yesterday! What a journey. From the lava GT3RS, to this, to the best spec F12 the world has ever seen (and the other one which was already sensational with the diamond cut wheels that we like), the CGT, that mean black 992 Turbo S with black accents, to the classic Porsches… hats off mate. Thank you for the memories and have a wonderful Christmas with your family

    A fantastic car... Where do you find finance for a £140k car with £14k down at £900 per month? And typically how much would you need to earn personally or either through a business? I understand these things are variable... if you do buy through a business, how long does it usually have to be trading for via your finance firm?

  • @gideonbeintema8095

    I remember falling in love with the 720s velocity. Then actually got the change to ride along in one on the Nurburgring. It was was really wet on the track but even without pushing it the car just felt so awesome with the turbo sounds and everything. After all the fire incidents with McLaren i lost love for the brand. I am now starting to appreciate the brand more especially with those prices. Unfortunately here in the Netherlands there still well above 300k on the 2nd hand market. Still a beast of a car!!!

    @omg_atom ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you look at the performance compared to other cars on the market, a used 720 in general represents incredible value. You need to be spending well over £200k to be going faster! I bang on about it all the time but specialists like V-Engineering make ownership prospects way less daunting 😁👊
