First Chelmsford, then Northampton, found one in Cardiff!

Well I'm sure Louise will give it a good look over and tell me whether it's worth my while travelling to take a look over the car myself.

As I said between the three of us we should find anything that looks dodgy.

Yes - no point in travelling all that way to view it if it isn't worth the journey.

I thought the advertised price was £1995 though, not £1500?

You're right Louise the price is £1995. Any chance that you can take a camera with you to take some photos so I get some unbiased photos? And give those rear wings a good poke

Are you still free to go take a look at the car on Sunday? If so what times?

Post by **LouiseM** » Fri Nov 13, 2009 11:49 pm

Camera battery already on charge and don't worry I'll be giving everything a good poke!

PM sent re: viewing.

I'll be giving everything a good poke!

I refuse to comment

I am on stress untill Louise News arrives.

Post by **LouiseM** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 1:14 pm

I'll try my best for you Carlos

Mind you the weather here at the moment is awful - gales and heavy rain - so it's not the best time to be viewing a car

Post by **MColes** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 1:42 pm

Phoned the seller to confirm the time for tomorrow and he dropped a bombshell... The car was on the back of his trailer outside his house and someone passing asked to view the car and bought it there and then

So thanks for the offer Louise but the car is gone now

Looking at another. Anyone in the Northampton?

It's actually a 1958 model, not sure why it says 1960

This looks a great car from the photos, it looks like a lot of elbow grease has gone into the polishing

Never mind Matt - the Chelmsford car obviously didn't have your name on it.

The Northampton car you're interested in is currently on e-bay with quite a few bids. The reserve hasn't been met yet but the auction ends tomorrow night so I suggest that anyone planning on having a look at it goes soon.

I think the price is a little hopefull, unless the car is absolutely solid and really is as nice as the pics (rarely the case) and I would stick my neck out and say it won't reach reserve on ebay (assuming it is close to the asking price). However, I do like it much more than the other one..

Post by **MColes** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 4:47 pm

Trawling Google for cars for sale I found one I really liked and guess what... it's in Wales... and I phoned the seller... and it's in Cardiff

It's looks pretty solid, tidy paintwork. But I've only seen it in photos,seeing it in the flesh will tell the truth. The seller says I can see it tomorrow or Monday (after he's taken it for an MOT). Fingers crossed

Good luck

Hope it turns out to be what you're looking for.

Post by **MColes** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 4:57 pm

It's not exactly what I was looking to get but I looked at the photos and liked it straight away

I'll send you a PM with the link so no one can get to it before me this time

Post by **d_harris** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 5:02 pm

Give us a clue, what is it?

Post by **MColes** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 5:04 pm

A car

Post by **pjh56** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 5:11 pm

That happened to me, trawled the South East of England and kept losing out to other buyers and then found one for sale 10 minutes from my front door it was perfect so I bought it.

Good luck Matt

Post by **MColes** » Sat Nov 14, 2009 7:23 pm

Well I got everything crossed. There's something about this car that I really like but I got try and not get to attached incase the car isn't solid underneath.
