Car has been into GD to get the vertical 'flange' visible inside the bonnet scoop cut-back & gel-coated. GD have made a really nice job with this - was untidy & drew the eye - and better fully open than covering with mesh imo.

Will post a couple of new pictures on my gallery in the next day or so.

Price should read with ono.

Cheers

Price reduced to £20,950.

Car has an occaisonal/intermittent knock from rear near-side suspension when on uneven road surface - assumed to be one of the AVO coilovers - investigations by myself and GD have failed to find any other possible cause. Car to be booked back into GD for replacement shocker(s) and suspension set-up which is included in the above price.

If you're happy to take it as-is, the price is £19,950.

Thats a steal!!!!

If only I had a spare 20K lying around, but its all tied up at the moment.

[dingocooke]

yes I agree; thats a real snip, but Im intrigued why you won't accept cash; wouldnt want you to put of a potential buyer! (Ive paid for two of my 3 cobs with cash; nobody complained)

Bankers drafts are prime for forging.
The bank Teller might say it is OK and you let the car go, then you get a letter from the bank 3 weeks later telling you that it was fake and they have withdrawn the money from your account. And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Google should pull up some instances of this.

Cash is king.

Bankers drafts I thought were a safe guaranteed method of payment - also, wouldn't fancy handling or having that much cash about. Would however consider cash payment if we wandered down to the local branch and paid it direct into the bank however.
