Update...
It is with great regret that I am pulling out of the purchase of this fabulous car.
I have shared the full details with Paul, but I will share less detail here other than to say my partner’s father was told he has Terminal cancer yesterday and she is obviously devastated. It’s just not the right time now for us to be buying a toy car.
What I will say is that I looked at numerous cars before this one, and this is standout, head and shoulders, far better than any of the others I looked at.... by a country mile. It is in absolutely amazing condition.
I also HPI’d it and checked the service history with the MOT history and everything checks out 100%, you will not find a more immaculate, genuine car. Incidentally, I do this every time I buy a car, I didn’t have any doubts about the car I just check things meticulously.
If another forum member agrees a deal with Paul for the car then please feel free to email me and I’ll happily forward a copy of my HPI check... with Paul’s permission. I won’t just email this to anyone, for obvious reasons.
Thanks Paul for your understanding, you have been very gracious, whoever does buy this car is getting a cracker.
