2019 - Moto Guzzi V7 III Stone, Full Trofeo Body Kit
Calling out to our true bike lovers with this one and all things Italian with the gorgeous Moto Guzzi V7. This 2019 V7 Stone model has been given a very unique full ‘Trofeo Clan’ body kit which includes tank, removable rear seat cowl, trim, nose cone and shield etc at almost £2k in cost and creating a very tidy cafe racer look.



It's also been fitted with a set of MIVV exhausts with removable baffles (£400) and let us tell you this Italian twin makes a fantastic noise creating music to the ears as you rally through the gears effortlessly on the country roads. The V7 is a very well built bike and rides superbly well, a great bike for any rider of all levels and being a Moto Guzzi all you need is a pair of jeans and a leather jacket and some sun to feel true motorcycle history as you enjoy that V twin engine.



Fitted with an AF1 Fender eliminator (cost of £225), also now fitted with smaller mirrors and with only 3400 miles on the clock and presented in immaculate condition with a brand new MOT and ready to go.

I've bagged a couple on this. The reason being is I miss a convertible and i'll try and convince the wife it's better than her current Mini. I dont think I've much chance of winning, or convincing her if I do, but Fortune favours the bold! :thumbup:

My brain is weird, if that was a fiver a ticket I'd have 3 or 4, but I'll be buggered if I'm wasting close to 9 quid a ticket :silent: so I've had 3 on the mini, although I'll have a devil of a time keeping it from the daughter if I win.

I don't tend to buy revcomp tickets much anymore. I use the 99p a ticket sites, even though the odds are much longer I don't feel i'm wasting so much money! :wtf:

You’re not alone there, I don’t like how RevComps have gone for more souped up stuff and some of their daily’s are higher mileage than before.
Bridge Classics have some nice old motors, or the cheap ticket stuff, always worth a try, someone has to win!!

Ferrari & £5k or £120k. 99p a ticket. I've bought 3! :thumbup:

Ferrari 488 GTB Atelier


The Ferrari 488 is the first mid-engine Ferrari to use a turbocharged V8 since the legendary F40.

The 488 GTB is powered by a 3.9L twin turbo V8 engine, smaller in displacement but generating a higher power output than the previous 458's naturally aspirated engines.

The 3.9L twin turbo V8 engine is capable of producing just under 660bhp & around 760nm of torque. Meaning the Ferrari 488 GTB can shift from 0-62mph in as little as 3.0seconds!

If a regular 488 GTB wasn't impressive enough, this example has an individual specification created by Atelier - the Ferrari Personalization Programme. The triple layer, Rosso Fuoco paintwork alone was a £15,000 optional extra!

We're giving you the chance to own this beautiful example of a Ferrari 488 GTB for as little as 99p! You do not want to miss this!
2017 Model
Only 20k Miles

3.9L Twin Turbo V8 Engine - 7 Speed Dual-Clutch Gearbox
Rosso Fuoco Triple Layer Paintwork (£15,000 Optional Extra!)

Is the sensible approach. :thumbup:

I think because i've won before, I don't really expect to again, so its a bit of financial damage limitation! :?

Aston Martin Vantage F1 Edition :wub:


The modern day Aston Martin Vantage is already incredibly capable & impressive.

With the addition of the F1 Edition, the Vantage has really sprung into life & the package creates far more than just an extreme & expensive newer version of the Vantage.

Everyone already knows and loves the modern Vantage, but with the with improvements attached to the F1 Edition, the performance, handling and tweaks to the interior make it feel more special than ever.

The 4.0L V8 Twin Turbo engine fitted to the Vantage F1 Edition is capable of producing just under 530bhp (almost 30bhp more than standard) & 685nm of torque. Meaning 0-62mhp can be achieved in as little as 3.6seconds!

I entered a draw for a Tag Monaco this week, cost me 11p cause I'd got a few loyalty points :lol:

Not even entirely sure I like the Monaco, I blow hot and cold on it. But for 11p I don't have to make up my mind really.
