list price from £28475 :shock:

most I've ever paid for a vehicle was £4250 for the NaafiWagon, taxed, tested, insured and delivered from Germany, between 2 of us, and I thought that was expensive :rollin

how the other half live, what'll be the depreciation on that, 4k a year ?

I guess I should put my prices up :wink:

Judging by the video they are followed closely by helicopters with film crews aboard,
guess that could become annoying. :wink:

But verywhere they go there are no other cars or people to spoil it,
no gates to open or close, or irate farmers or even industrial estates in the distance.
Ok then I might be tempted, it would depend on what the owners forum was like :)

Correct. It will never be a 16" Westy but a 16" Westy cant cruise all day long at 200 kph or get 55 mpg. Not only that but it doesnt have an interior made of chipboard ...... and I can get parts for it should I need them!

Depreciation ..... yes but who cares, its a company car!

Cost ..... €42,000

Cost to me? Nothing! :mrgreen:

Jealous? Me? Dont think so .....

That's £35,000 so according to this thread a 16" Westy is worth more :wink:
