Hi,

Notice that people are seeking Manuals and there are fears about a huge price slump once the current high price trend is over, but I am not particularly worried. For me, life is too short.

I just want to enjoy the car whilst I can.

you just missed a good one I think that came up a couple of day after I bought my 3.0i

this one came up on my auto trader search:

shame about the wood interior though. I can't imagine it came out of the factory like that.

Hi Bill, assume it’s a roadster you are after, not a coupe?

Cheers for the Ad, but I am not keen on the roof colour or wood dash/centre console

I agree, it looks terrible. However, I think it's stuck on. Looks like brushed aluminium is under the dash to me so with some effort you may be able to simply take it off and clean it up. I'm guessing - what do others think?

Also, dashboard and console trim comes up for sale on here and can be wrapped. Given your healthy budget, you could just change it to your requirements. Not sure how much a new or used black roof is.

I am afraid to say that I just do not want the hassle of Dashboard and Centre Console change especially with the budget. The roof does not suit my taste either - my preference is Black.

Nah, why ruin the look by sticking nasty aluminium on it.
That glorious natural wood looks great

Hi, Thanks for the tip, the car has sketchy service history - stamps in the book but no dates to match. Apparently it has not had service any stamps in the book for the last 5 years, although the dealer was informed by the owner, that it was serviced often - however no receipts etc. UMMH?

Perhaps I am too fussy these days.
