If only it was LHD and registered in France as cars here ain't such good value when your buying.

I literally cannot believe the price of these cars now. Ok- it’s not a great time to buy weather wise- but how much can you lose on this type of car now? They still make you feel much more special than they should at the price and they are very rare on the road. I don’t buy this ‘I just can’t stretch argument’. It’s false economy- safe 3k and get a car less well looked after or even dropping to a 4.2.

Some people can’t stretch, they’re already stretching to buy one. I agree that it’s silly to buy a £30k 4.2 when a little more buys an S. I think it’s best to save a little more if the extra can’t be found at the present time.

Athol, I hear that the lights dim in Glasgow when you power up your man-maths calculator. Is that true?

Handily my good friend Dr Emmett Brown has helped me attain some rare unobtainium from his Iranian friends for another project he's been working on.

Life's too short to think "Oh shall I do this?", do it, you never know what's round the corner and are a long time dead. Get it, drive it, enjoy it and worry about bills if/when they come. A sorted car like this should be trouble free for a couple of years at least.

Gary looks good in a wig. Just be careful that his rare unobtainium doesn't make your man-maths calculator over-confident. Mine sometimes gets really enthusiastic.

If that wasn't black on black I'd be seriously thinking about upgrading my man-maths calculator.

Black is best! It's not quite black on black anyway, the wheels are a lovely shade of grey :cool:

I went to see this car, what a great, honest, genuine owner (and car). I have decided against stretching up past what I really want to spend, but not because of the car. It's a great example, someone is going to be very lucky, it's got a great, full history, and looks the dogs nuts. It starts on the button from cold, no unusual noises apart from the fact it has a cross pipe fitted, I bet his neighbours love him! If you are thinking about buying one of these, go and look at this one, you won't be disappointed.

Thank you and pleasure to meet you. Yes the neighbours are very nice folks which helps :) !

What a beautifully presented car and great ad. If I didn't already have one on the driveway I'd be sorely tempted.

Best of luck with the sale.

GTS at the bottom of their curve. Criminally cheap for a sorted car. Stop dropping the price MGT!

Ignor this comment MGT :p
I tried to stay off the radar on the phone so I could insult you with an offer and not get banned from the site lol. Pleasure chatting with you on the phone and will be back in touch when I've broached the subject with her in doors.
