Will give them a call tomorrow. Only about 25 mins from where I live. Could be just what i'm after.
Did originally think it was too cheap. However, it's all about the condition.
Gave the seller a call. He is a chap who does car trading on the side (full time accountant now, apparently). The car will be available to view at his house, I think.
He told me the car was owned by an Indian doctor who was working in the uk for a few years. He has now left the country, so doesn't need the car.
Has a folder full of bills and recently was MOT'd. Seller said it drives brilliantly.
Only thing is I can't get to see it until Saturday. Could possibly do tomorrow night, but it will be late and dark. Oh well, if it's still there then I'll head over for a test drive.

Have you got a mate good at teeth sucking?
I'd suggest taking £450 in a roll and finding a reason to only offer that much (low tread on tyres? Rusty suspension? (one local to me has been failing/advisories on front subframe mounts)), then having 3 more lots of £50 in other pockets to add if necessary.
Or, go with my usual tactics "it's fine, here's all the money you wanted, take it, take it all!"

I can do the teeth sucking. I'd suggest taking £450 in a roll and finding a reason to only offer that much (low tread on tyres? Rusty suspension? (one local to me has been failing/advisories on front subframe mounts)), then having 3 more lots of £50 in other pockets to add if necessary.

Viewing moved to Saturday now so I can see the thing in daylight.
