I don't know the car or the owner.

Reg plate suggests a 'Severn Valley' (Worcester registry) car. And from late 2004, so you'll have some/most of the later enhancements. Check e.g. for a luggage cover 'thingy' and a glovebox that closes. The seats were changed around then, too. Air-con, if fitted, would probably have been a cost option, and it seems to be desirable for re-sale. Most of the rest of the improvements you cannot see...

Guess you'll have to consider how "minor" the stone chips are to the nose? I know that reflex paint is VERY expensive, what I don't know is whether it's possible to respray less than a complete car with it. If it's got armourfend, that would need removing before painting and will undoubtedly remove paint with it. Does look stunning, hope it's a great car!

Air con was a cost option in January 2005. Seat changes were mid 2005.

Mine has both A/C and the revised seats & it's a Sept 04.

Air con was available in 2004. If you have the revised seats I assume you mean Tuscan seats. If so, I strongly suggest they are retro fit...
