Very well maintained car that looks barely used

The Appeal

The return of the 6.75L V8 to the Arnage was a welcome moment for enthusiasts because, for the last time, it married the firm’s hand-crafted coachbuilding with a fully in-house designed engine. Heavily reworked for the purpose and turbocharged, it was good for 400bhp.

Just 752 Arnage Red Labels left the factory in RHD. This example is from the first year of production and was acquired by the current keeper as a present to himself. He clearly had taste as the silver metallic paintwork works well with the magnolia interior. Blue leather, piping and carpets plus dark walnut veneers complete the picture.

With only 40,000 miles from new, it has clearly been cherished and the exterior and interior is condition is quite remarkable. It looks like it has barely been sat in. Usual check areas like the alloys and driver’s seat look as if they just rolled out of the showroom.

The service history is similarly impressive. Together with the MOT records it verifies the mileage and shows very sparing use over the last five years. The car was last serviced at 39,000 miles in 2021. The advisory-free MOT runs to the end of February 2026. A really good example of these hand-built executive expresses.
