No but I know someone who wants one.
I've had a response now from the seller so should be seeing it in the next 48 hours.

I think that will depend on what the car is like in the metal but probably not if the condition and history check out and if it drives as it should.

I see another has turned up new to the market. 66k on the clocks and in a difficult colour (even in the 1970 kodak film finish) £23k no xenons...prices all over the place?!?

I agree with that. When looking, I really didn't fancy a Grigio Touring GS, but every time I see one, I think they look superb.

Right been to see it.
The good points are
The service history checks out
Clutch wear was at 24% 3000 miles ago
As we already know the black car with magnolia and the black tech cloth actually works really well
The bad points are
The passenger seat is more than just a stain, the seller tried to remove it using a heat gun and melted the tech cloth
The leather on the seats needs connolising
It needs two new tyres
The lacquer on the carbon real lip spoiler is delaminating
The windows do not align properly when the windows are closed
As a result of the above the carpets are wet
It has cheap (under£400) 'sport' back boxes with no valves that frankly sound little different from standard
Paint is very swirly in places, next doors cat has been on it and scratched the paintwork and their are areas of orange peel so it would need a paint correction detail
The tax expired 28/02/2014
It is due a service next month
There are a few other little bits and bobs but nothing that would be a deal breaker at the right price
It IS a pretty car and bought cheaply enough I am sure it could be brought up to scratch. My friend will make a bid but it will be low and I doubt the seller will accept.
Any other questions please ask.

On the other hand, it's a car and none of those things actually *matter* in the grand scheme of things, apart from the service.

The wet carpets would be my main concern followed by service and lack of it. I don't see the point in buying it when you could pay 3k more and have a well sorted one.
Hopefully the bid will be accepted and someone will get a cheap car to fix up. 18k would be a fair bid.
