Well what a day I've had !!! Drove 120 miles to look at black one and been painted on rear door and bald tyres and engine sounded abit loud so didn't go for that one so on my phone on auto trader see if there were any nearby I was in London and found a red one from stratos dealership looked ok when got there highly modded they said new turbo fmic injectors and air filter !!! Oh my god what a wreck it is smokes very bad blue on over run so turned straight back round on test drive and told him he can keep that . So rpthen on the off chance I had a quick look on ebay and to my luck a red one with 48000 miles on an hour away from we're I was so went there and well it's a minter very nice straight car so brought it  pick it up Saturday yeyyyy eventually got a good one at last , will get pics up when collect on Saturday

Wow! what a story. You were really bent on getting one weren't you . I did go through almost the same trouble whilst attempting to get mine. It was a white one with about 37000miles on it, lightly modified with the piano black interior. The day I was suppose to go see it and possibly buy it, he rang to say it was gone. Depressed I went back on google search. Found another one, my current one, at Doncaster a day or so later. It had 22700miles on it for £8500  Too much maybe but I bought it anyway! They are nice cars I can tell and you got the best colour too  Good job
