Service history records are intermittent from 2003 onwards. The vehicle has since been serviced by my Uncle and local independent garages.

The car is in fair condition for its age, I can't see any corrosion to the bodywork and unmodified examples of the VR6 are rare. It could be used as a daily driver, but it would be better seen as a very good basis for a light restoration project. The car is a future classic and this is a reluctant sale.

Since posting this advert a week ago, I have been overwhelmed by the response, with in excess of 70 individual enquiries. This has of course been helped by the added interest generated by the ‘Shed of the week’ article.

I have attempted to keep track of all emails sent to me to date, but I’ve struggled to keep on top of all of the questions. If you haven’t received a reply from me, please accept my apologies.

After much consideration, it has become apparent that I have clearly undervalued the car at the asking price of just £1000.

In the interest of getting a fair price for the car, and in fairness to those wishing to view, I have decided that it would be best to hold viewings this coming weekend, and invite interested parties to make an offer for the car.

I would kindly request that sensible ‘best offers’ be made (over £1000) after inspecting the car in person. Once all of the viewings have taken place, I’ll consider all of the offers that have been made.

If you would be interested in viewing the car at the weekend, please email me with your details and availability, and I’ll confirm appointments accordingly. I regret that viewings cannot be held during the week.

Thanks again for your interest.
