Typical though they have it for sale for 18 months and then two people want it at the same time! If Andy doesn't buy it I will go and take a look next week. Andy do you mind sharing what your offer was? Completely understand if you want to keep it confidential. Kind regards, Robert Thanks Martin I will contact you once I've seen it Andy

r Group: Forum Member Posts: 8, Visits: 40	Hi Andy / Martin, Martin after we spoke last week I saw Andy's post that he was going to view it on Friday. I didn't want to get into a two horse race with a fellow member as this only benefits the dealer! I thought I'd wait to see if Andy buys it first. Andy would you mind sharing what you offered? Completely understand if you want to keep it confidential, but it would help me to gauge the current market value when I'm looking at others. Please can you post here if you get it or not. Martin hopefully your beloved car might find a new home soon! Kind regards Robert

a Group: Forum Member Posts: 5, Visits: 10	Hi Robert I made them a silly offer of £6k to see how they would react. They seem very reluctant to reduce the car much He said £8400 would get the car, I suspect they would accept an off of £8k Before I go any further on this carI am going to look at the one at Junction 59 classics So feel free to bid on it Andy
