Congrats and good luck with it, Dave. Looks like a fabulous car. Lots of cool options and luxurious comfort. You got a STEAL imho! Steve

Great handle there Steve, was listening to The Stones earlier today.

It does look nice doesn't it - I just hope the sale continues to a successful conclusion.

Don't worry about that Doug, already got something sparkling and white to celebrate!

Steering wheel? What steering wheel? Perhaps it's just an NAS spec?

Yes facts are annoying!!

That's a very good price. Does it need any work? It looks very clean. We normally hear much higher prices.

Glad they’re coming down so more people can buy them.

Default Update - and disappointment !

Well guys, thanks for all your good wishes, but the purchase has gone tîts up !


For reasons that I don't want to go into on here, the owners have changed the ground rules so it now makes it unviable to purchase this car.

Gutted - YES. Annoyed - most definitely!

Except that it's probably going to want to travel down the wrong side of the road...

Went out for a blast in the current V8 to make me feel better. A few euros for petrol has got to be the best cure in the world for the Blues.

Twisty roads, 2nd and 3rd gear at 6000rpm - just can't be beat !!!!


Thanks very much guys for all your support and interest,


Dave

Sorry to hear this, Dave. Time to crank up the stereo and play Byrds "Feel A Whole Lot Better" while you're cruising those twisty roads. Music soothes the savage beast, as they say.
