Looking for another R8

Hi guys.

Seriously missing my V10 coupe.

I've had a V8, it has to be a V10. I'm no sure if I want a coupe or spider, I love the idea of a spider, especially with a milltek! I had white before, but thinking Daytona grey?

Would be interested to hear from any owner who has had spider and coupe and your thoughts on both?

Also concerned about residuals with the new model due when?

Thanks

You should never has sold it!

Stick to coupe, Spyder is great but coupe is the daddy.

I missed the side blade, glass engine bay and general looks of the Coupe.

But, roof down + Capristosinging around the 'Ring and Spa and Donnington and Snetterton and Castle Combe are memories I don't regret!

Don't worry about residuals.

You know more than most, V10 residuals are rock solid and won't be dropping below £60k for a good few years.

There is a nice black one with ceramics and warranty and Larini exhaust on peeheads for £63k which with your battering skills can be had for less. That's a safer bet residual wise as there will ever be and if I wasn't buying a house right now I would have it.

The new model will be £120k+ so gonna be years before the used market is impacted.
