Looking at that Fiat again Stuart it seems crazy they won't repair your car :( however the offer is acceptable to you so this could even be seen as a opportunity to jump a few rungs while the market appears to be on the slide :) happy hunting , sure something will turn up that ticks your boxes :thumbsup:

I contacted Mr Wilks to ask if it was still available just after you bought it (thinking my dad might like it). I’m sure I recall him suggesting I should buy it from you when you moved on... Just to be clear, I don’t want it! :P
