Deal Done.
I'll leave it to the lucky winner to announce who he is, but Doris will be speeding her way to a new home tomorrow some time. Met up yesterday and shook hands on it, contingent on clearing it with she-who-must-be-obeyed, and all went well.
Money's being transferred tonight, so I guess a last quick midnight dash round the welsh hills or across the peak district is a no-no, but I've done them both a few times so no regrets.
She's staying in the forum and the new owner is enthusiastic and trusted (well, about as far as you can throw him) so all is well.
My favourite part of the whole sale was the phrase "I buy my cars mostly on what they sound like" so I guess he won't be taking the new exhaust off too quickly.
It's been a blast, and hopefully just the first chapter!
