Sorry if this makes anyone else miserable - but I think that nice yellow one is the one that was flagged up a while ago and sold at Brightwells auction last month for £7,000 (presumably plus buyer's premium).

Are you sure it was Brightwells? If so it must have been more than 31 days ago. I do seem to recall seeing it somewhere though.

 

If it did go for £7K, even with the premium say 20%, I think a good deal was had by someone.

 

Here's one that costs a little more:

The VAT amounts to more than £70K

WOW - just looking at those floor mats of the Brabus 800, I now appreciate one does need carpet slippers to just sit in the vehicle.

Carpet slippers.....ahem.....are you mad.....only forensic overshoes will do for that trucksmiley

 

Not too struck of the internal colour, but as Brabus offerings go, I quite like it. But I won't be emptying my piggy bank, I just couldn't live with that gear-stickwink
