I have that link copied to my clip board and was just about to post in parallel!

My god how hilarious! It’s a lovey car but that will be a very hard sell.

It’s certainly a rare (fairly-there are a few 960 extended wheel base out there).

If you look at the list of work done it could be that the seller has paid that sort of money out. But frankly he will be lucky to get half that figure.

It is a nice looking car, but looks to have suffered I have spent ££££ on it so its worth ££££.

If it was an all original, low mileage car with an interesting bit of history attached to it, the price wouldn't be so abnormal as that is the type of thing that would appeal to collectors BUT this has a good few miles on....does seem to have had a decent quality and level of work carried out but that's it, probably 10k over the mark but best of luck to them selling it

It's nice and the Royal models do carry a premium - i just don't think it's worth ~£10k on top of a normal S90, especially with 171k miles. If it had only had 71k miles it might have been different.

Only one registered in the UK... that's why there is one for sale for £4k right now on ebay and auto trader... they tried selling it for 5k but it didn't get a single bid obviously.

Sorry, they've decided to put the price back up to 5k, an interesting selling strategy shared by the 940 Wentworth on ebay that didn't sell for £2500 and didn't sell for £2000 so is now £3600

Considering the recent work the price looks very fair. Without the work done it would be a 5-10k car
