I remember nearly buying this one! I remember the plate & saw it advertised on Car & Classic. One of the first I enquired about from a chap called Andrew if memory serves me correct. I have all the old email correspondence.

Should I email him? I wasn't aware this was the pistol one. I we put off when my brother HPI'd it and it showed up as black on his checks but was clearly blue. The owner had no idea and was quite offended by my suggestion.

He seemed like a decent nice enough chap and retired maybe older. He seemed to have no idea.

Was the pistol one a write off or something then? Or just poor example?

It had forklift truck marks underneath and the chassis was bent. I paid for an inspection on it as a private purchase before I was in business.

(OK I know this is a 3200 but still shocking after several years!)

The owner told me I wouldn't be happy with it as it wasn't perfect & he detected a smidge of my desire for things to be right. He said at some point someone had hit a speed bump or something.

He either knew about it all or knew about some damage but not what or why.
