Quote:One of the most exclusive performance supercars in the world is to star in a massive sale staged by Lex Autolease and BCA at the Bedford centre on Tuesday, 10th January at 10:30am. The Fisker Tramonto is the only right hand drive model in existence and is one of just 15 built and its original retail price was in excess of $250,000.

The Tramonto is based on the Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG and is coachbuilt by Fisker Coach Build of California – the company established by former Aston Martin head designer Henrik Fisker, who includes the DB9 and V8 Vantage on his CV. This car was first shown at the Top Marques show in Monaco and is painted in Titanium Quartz Metallic with two-tone Sand interior in finest Italian leather and finished with Aluminium and bare Carbon Fibre touches.

The sale will feature a fantastic selection of 400 end of lease cars direct from Lex Autolease - the UK’s largest contract hire company. There will be a diverse range of product on offer, with vehicles from most of the major manufacturers being represented. Age ranges from nearly new up to 5 years old with a huge variety of mileages should also ensure that there are prices to suit everyone's budget. The majority will also be presented with V5 and service history.

Other vehicles of special interest include a Hummer, Audi Q5 and Q7, Porsche Cayenne, BMW 650 Sport, Range Rover Sport and Jaguar XKR.

Full catalogue details will be available from the BCA website at british-car-auctions.co.uk and every car in the sale will be covered by the BCA Assured programme.

Robert Sturley Southern Area Auction Manager for Lex Autolease said: “Every indication suggests good quality stock is going to be in short supply throughout 2012, so we are delighted to be able to offer such a premium selection of cars so early in the year. We are sure the buyers will be out in force and with BCA’s marketing expertise behind the event we are looking forward to an exceptional turnout on the day.”

Alan Gupwell BCA Corporate Account Manager for Lex Autolease added “With demand typically rising sharply in January, this is an ideal time to stage this sale and it will create a superb opportunity for buyers looking for quality stock. The added attraction of the Fisker Tramonto turns it into an event that is not to be missed!

Holy cow, that's cheap! If I knew it was going to go that cheap, I would have bid on it.
