Hi guys - as most are aware I have been looking for a year or so. Inquired or expressed an interest in some cars while finding my feet etc etc. Well I finally put my size 7's in.
I got an email on Tuesday from Dicky along the lines of below( I have kept in touch and he had an idea what I was looking for)
Dave,
I've a Facelift 4200 which I'm currently having checked and serviced at Autoshield.
2006MY (55 plate)
33000 miles
Blu Mediterraneo
Blu Scuro interior
Heated seats
Xenons
Rev sensors
Nav
The interior is a full Gransport interior which I've never seen before but there are apparently two others in the UK. It's got a full factory carbon fibre pack too (door trims, whole of the centre console, steering wheel, £3500 option). Poltrona Frau perforated leather upgrade to the Gransport bucket seats. It's been serviced by Autoshield for 6 years and is absolutely faultless to drive. Clutch has 66% remaining measured today. Let me know your thoughts or give me a bell if you wish. Sorry I've no pics as yet.
So after a bit of research regarding colour etc I expressed a positive interest and request for some pics, which hopefully I have attached (plus a couple I took today)
After receiving the pics I text SWMBO and laid the law down - If it drives as good as Dicky says then I am having it. Test drove it today and it was as sweet as a nut. No rattles, shakes etc, revs to high heaven and clutch pulls like a cart horse on steroids..
I am chuffed - you might be able to tell - My patience has been rewarded and I must point out Dicky has been great for well over a year with advice etc and I have to say the buying experience has been totally painless.
After the test drive he said - I will give you 2 a bit of time for a think - My reply - No need - Sold, Signed and delivered.
