First, congrats and welcome back.

With regard Cat D, I started looking at getting a Sag a few weeks ago.
Yes, it was going to be as an investment but it was still going to be driven as I do my Tuscan Convertible which is somewhere around 60k miles now and sat in a German airport car park waiting for me.

I checked out a T350 and that bright green Sag at Target Cars, Belgium. (Cat D)
The T350 was also a cat D (no comment) The Sag looks stunning. I was very surprised that I liked the colour in the flesh but it was amazing. Still not sure about the green interior though.




I'm told the repair was done correctly. They have an independent inspection cert for it.
I have also been told there are possibly one or two things that still needing doing.

Anyway, my plan was to use finance so that some of my monthly expendable gets spent on something interesting rather than just blown
Unfortunately no one gives finance on a Cat D.

Just take a personal loan with Sainsbury's for home improvement. And then improve your garage by giving it an awesome centre piece!

Have you seen pics of that car pre accident? I can send them to you tonight when I get back to my computer. I inquired about that car in mid 2012 and almost went to see it. I won't mention how much it was then as you'll very probably cry

Hi AOK, yes, I'd love to see the photo's.
Any info you have will be very welcome.

On the finance side, I've been using the same finance company in Manchester for nearly 25 years now.
When they said "bad idea", I stepped back a bit.
I still keep thinking about it because of how good it looks up close.

Cheers,
Tony

I offered them £34k for it in October 2012 - if I recall, it had just gone up from that price to about £37k a couple of weeks prior. They declined and said they were "not in a hurry to sell"....

I didn't make an offer when I visited as my original rreason for the visit was to look at a T350 they have, but when I asked to look at the Sag, the guy kept mentioning how the value keeps rising and so no hurry to sell.
Thanks for those numbers by the way.

Old fords are investments not ornaments. If I'd kept every old ford I'd had in the last 25yrs I'd be very rich! Frustratingly I now can't afford one even if I sold my Tuscan!!
Anyway I can't comment on others but Mole Valley sell some very high quality cars.

Tell me about it. Parts are getting stupid prices nowadays. Cars are too (good ones)

Anyways, deal done and signed. Car being serviced, taxed and MOT'd as we speak.

Picking up on Friday. Only 4 sleeps to go! lol

Well, done the deal and shaken on it. Left a deposit and ready in a couple of weeks for me. Very happy

Went for the Red Glow one. I'm happy with the deal, and that's all that matters really.

Very happy with Bespoke so far, very much went out of their way, even came in on a Sunday, moved the cars around to get it on a ramp for me at my request.

Alan

Finally someone bought it Respectable price, looks lovely. Just needs a bit of paintwork doing and a few other cosmetic elements and jobs a goodun! Bespoke are a good outfit, and Skip, Graham and Martin will look after you with the warranty

Yep. Looking around to find the front splitters and a rear cover now, fortunately I'm a painter so cosmetics are insignificant and will be painted completely soon anyway. Just waiting till find some at right price. If I tell the mrs I need to spend more I think I'll lose a nut lol

[T4NGO]

All mine Well, when I've paid for it lol

[ray von]

Nice one Alan. Been far yet? You picked the best colour

[Rib]

Looks gorgeous!

Done a few miles lol. Man, are these hard to fill up or what! Stood there at the pump for ages.
Also the steering lock on them sucks. 12 point turns in order.

But apart from that

[Legacywr]

Yes, they are a pain to fill up!

[T4NGO]

Well, I've had it a month now, so time for a change








I have a youtube clip, but dunno how to add it?

[T4NGO]

ps. its same car. just back on its boggo standard plate as bespoke had that back

[jr6yam]

Didn't go for the matte cascade Indigo then

Still trying to make a decent one. Cant get as vivid a colour shift as I want yet. So in meantime it was a choice of silver pearl over white or a variation of cobalt blue. Not seen a white sag before so went for that. Prob do the blue in a month or so lol. Unless I get success on the cascade indigo

Looks great, brave decision to change colour from factory There are about 3-4 white sags that I know of out there
