Well having now actually paid for him I feel it no longer inappropriate to claim him as mine so can come clean. I am, with many thanks to Andy, the new custodian of G650 PTT due to be picked up on Monday.
I will probably start another thread with numerous possibly inane questions, for example where can I get some 400 boot and sill decals to replace the 420 ones, as like the two previous owners, I think they need to be returned to standard spec.
Thanks
Nick

Well done. Enjoy your new Wedge. I too was in contact with the owner and was considering buying it. I already have one exactly the same colour except the inside is beige on yours, grey and red on mine. Click on my name to see the picture. I was going to buy it for my son as he drives mine at the moment and we share it. In all honesty, much as I like red, I would have prefered a different colour as we already have a bright red and it would have still looked as though we were sharing the same car. I am happy it has gone to a good home and an enthusiast and will be looked after well. Have fun.I will probably start another thread with numerous possibly inane questions, for example where can I get some 400 boot and sill decals to replace the 420 ones, as like the two previous owners, I think they need to be returned to standard spec.

Tony. TCB.
Tony thanks for the comments,
The owner said there was someone going to see it on the Saturday I was booked in for Sunday, to be honest though I think the odds / Gods were against you on this one.
1 The MOT runs out on my birthday what better birthday present than to have 12 months MOT on your car each year.
2 I am sure it has a Devon number plate PTT, and Devon garage as the original supplier on the number plate. I remember
my dad having a couple of PTT number plates on his cars in the 70's, and I am a Devonian exiled to the cold North.
3 The number plate PTT means I can name him Pete in memory of my dad.
4 You definitely need one a different colour to avoid confusion in your old age
So obviously this car was meant for me
although I consider myself very very lucky to get it.

Well done Nick,
i too would have taken a look at that when down in Essex next week, not necessarily to sell my 390 but purely because it looks a great price.
ps; I also got some decals from racegraphics.
Actually it is probably you I owe the biggest thanks to, as without this thread I may well have missed the car as I never thought of looking in the classics section for a wedge. i too would have taken a look at that when down in Essex next week, not necessarily to sell my 390 but purely because it looks a great price.

Everything fell into place in the end even the dealer I had my Griffith with to sell did a deal just before I went to see the car, although I took a bit of a hammering on it. When I say hammering I got what I paid for it 2 years ago, but prices have risen a couple of grand since then. Only I could moan at having an awesome car for 2 years and not loosing money on it.
Still think the wedges are really underrated, lot of car for the money, but this one is hopefully a keeper for now and to enjoy even more in my retirement. I have now saved enough money to retire and live in total luxury until I die, as long as that is next Thursday at 2pm.
