A sad day

CatmanV2 · May 30, 2019

For the first time in 6 years, I am Maserless.

I made a call based on some feedback from work that I needed to be more miles on the road, and adding 12500 miles in a year to a 102k car was not what I wanted to do.

So a deal was done this evening in Derbyshire. The new owner has an absolute bargain and I believe he'll look after her as it's going to be weekend toy.

OTOH I am feeling rather sad, still: Onwards and upwards

Cheers

PS Can I still post?

For now, probably a Jag XF per the motorway mile munchers thread.

Cheap, simple, comfy. I hope. Testing one tomorrow

Oh and per tradition, I shall invite the new owner to make the new post!

Sad to hear but you'll undoubtedly be back in one at some point!

Next year is the plan, but there's definitely an emptiness

Oh no! A sad day indeed mate. But I am sure there will be others when the circumstances allow. As for posting, I do lol

Fingers crossed. There are at least two other members that I have been talking to that enjoy theirs. Got my eye on a 3l V6

I am the new owner!

She will he looked after don’t worry

People may have seen my post a few times regarding wanting one of these amazing cars!

I went for this car because I genuinely believe it has been looked after and after weeks and weeks and weeks of speaking to Chris we met up tonight and I fell in love! As I knew I would!

Thank you Chris and I hope she brings me many miles of smiles and laughter!

Good luck with your search for a workhorse

Agreed Jon.
You're gonna miss that Maser Catman- XF is a very nice place to be....the XF Sport shifts a bit too.

Hopefully brisk enough to engage cruise at 80....

Jake - welcome and good choice! Buying a car from a true enthusiast is a really good decision. I remember your thread about whether you should stretch for a 4.7 and think you made the right choice. Hope you enjoy it...

For sure and its nice to see someone buying something other than an Aston.......common as muck nowadays

Welcome to the fold Jake. Normally we'd ask a new owners for pictures but we know the car. So it's a bit pointless. Enjoy the car and may you have many more happy miles in it. It's proof indeed that a well-(hand-) built engine that's been looked after will last a long time.
