Perusing the market as you do, I've come across a cheap Vanquish. Has all the paperwork with it, but has a few bumps in the bodywork. It is however a very rare 'special' edition
So tell me why I shouldn't? Yeti will hate it as its Grey with a grey interior.

It has a 007 number plate. Is that a good enough reason not to buy it?

Jockman would be better off buying it - he will fit in comfortably smile

Looks dodgy. Do a full HPI check before parting with any cash.

Sadly... I doubt it.

Better to have a small child's legs peddling furiously than a rubber-band V8 groaning with the effort of turing it self over and melting its clutch as it doesn't have the torque to move the car.

Good point. As you may know I'm not right up to scratch on my cycling. What about Bradley whatever hes called with the sideburns?

Bradley - I know when I'm beat! He came flying past us last year. Top bloke, like a drink to.

Because some ebay sellers pedal cars with false service histories.

Ooh yes he likes a drink!
Read his book recently.
Apparently he used to have "A collection" of 400+ different belgian beers. IIRC the collection was severely damaged after winning his first Olympic medal

Well, for one thing, it's a pile of ste.

I think you'll find that argument convincing enough.
