I am getting the drift of this now Wattie. :)
I am out to see another QP DS tomorrow. Will see how it goes. Very excited..again. It's like a Viagra induced *******. Won't go away...not that I have taken some ...ever.

Sommi, good luck with the viewing today....

Hi All I have put a deposit on a lovely QP and this time I am dealing with a true gentleman. I love the car and feel lucky to have been able to have it as mine.
It will take a fortnight to complete the purchase and then I will update with all details and pictures.
It has been a little rollercoaster of a buying process but I have found exactly what I wanted!
I thank you all for your very valuable advise, sympathy and support. No doubt, I shall meet some or all of you in time to come. Looking forward to that and to get MY MAS :)

Excellent! You could say it was all 'meant to be'. So glad you have got the right car and I will look forward to seeing the pictures. What spec and what colour?

Well done, auto or DS? It's always easier when you are face to face with someone to strike up a relationship.

****...that was quick...I'm still waiting, 11 months since I started looking.....tbf, there are very few Gransports for sale compared to the 100's of choices for QP's...

Hi All. Thanks a bunch. I now realize how time slows down between finding one and getting it home!
The car is Nettuno Blue DS and has been kept as a pampered child.

Hi All
Just a quick update. I have sold my existing car over the weekend. Was on ebay for less than 4 days and snapped up by first one to see it.:alan4:
Now the drive way is clear and I just need to get the MAS!
It is 2004 54 Reg QP DS in Blue Nettuno in very good condition and complete history at Graypaul and Grimaldi. Along with that it has had a complete Larini System fitted by Grimaldi earlier this year and it does sound out of this world for a standard QP. I was visibly shaken just on the start up. It also has had the FD DBW fitted a few years ago which does wonders to the gear change in Manual mode.
All in all it is very quick and the colour is absolutely fascinating.
Pictures soon!

Sounds great & a couple of very good and far from cheap mods that have been done too.
Looking forward to seeing pictures

Thanks. I'll get the pictures soon. I dont know what the cost of the FD DBW is but the current owner has shown the invoice for the Larini at £ 5500!! Thats just the system. Installation cost at Grimaldi is extra on top!
I wonder what this will do to the insurance. But I am willing to sell my body parts as long as I am getting this experience and sound.
