Wow you didn't even clean it.

Nope. Ran out of time.

Not sure it would have been a good move. They look it over for dings, pretty superficially, although giving some areas a wipe, and just enter ratings into a computer. Seems like there is almost no subjective judgement. So if your car is perfect, it's probably good to wash it to show that, but if your car is a little bit dinged, it's probably better to hope some things are hidden by the dirt.

Exactly that. A bit of dirt hides a multitude of dings and scrapes. Good move.

Hope they did not pull your pants down with the price... it was low enough already.

Did they check your dodgy handle issue or was the WD40 pong gone?

Very superficial look round. Door happened to already be open. Got a few quid under what I told myself was my absolute minimum, but clearly wasn't really.

Result. Our cars are a pig to sell. Looking forward to seeing it pop up for sale in a couple of weeks with someone posting to see if anyone knows its history.

Glad you have found one Mark. Not easy hunting down a good QP S nowadays, I’ve not found one for years.

Great to see the new wheels and that you stuck with the brand.

Looking forward to seeing you around the 'edge'
