Great car. If I was in the market, but 6K is way outside my budget.
Love it though. One day.

For a low mileage, 2 owner genuine FE, in a 'non-marmite' colour combination, with a decent service history, I think that's a good price. I'd buy it in a second if I didn't have its twin already!

Then spend £150 or so on a proper gearbox flush and filter and you've got a 'keeper'.

Naturally you would think that the price was right Jim! But I do agree anyway. Its a lot of good car with low mileage. Best of luck with the sale.

For work reasons the car will not turn a wheel for 3-4mths, and I'd rather it didn't sit there gathering dust, therefore the price is negotiable within reason. But, as previously said this has to go by Monday at the latest.

Gents, I have made a boo boo. I am as genuine as they come and not once did I set out to mislead anyone. The car was sold to me by a neighbour of Prof. John Rex Beddington. It was advertised as a 1 owner car. When I went to view the car, the seller produced 2x logbooks. He told me the first 'owner' was the company called 'ZincDraw Ltd' - which is the company owned by John Rex Beddington. He therefore 'considered' it as a 1 owner car.

Like a numpty I had completely forgotten about this, and I had it in my head that it is a 1 owner car! For anyone interested I can produce all three logbooks; Mine, Prof John Rex Beddington, and ZincDraw.

I just Googled this, and the Beddington family does have some involvement in Zincdraw so I do believe the sellers story, however I just wanted to clarify the fact that the car does have 3 owners instead of 2.

I don't think it needs an explanation - the link is obvious. Doesn't change the credibility of how the advert reads.

Thanks to the guys who made decent offers, shame the logistics of the sale/collection couldn't be resolved. Not so much thanks to the chancers who made ridiculously low offers, obviously thinking I'm desperate to sell! The car is now under wraps until June/July when it will be on the market again.

This will be available again around the 1st July. Please message me if you would like to view the car. When it was for sale a few months ago I had two solid offers of £5200 which I did decide to accept, but due to bad timing and logistics the car never went, then I had to leave for work. One thing I've been pondering - is it worth me getting a gearbox service (Chester Transmissions) even though there's no faults with the gearbox, and is it worth me getting the minor bumper scuffs professionally painted prior to the sale, then up the price to cover the costs?
