Hi, I can see this is from 2019.
Just to say I’ve owned this car for nearly 3 years.
I’ve spent a fortune on it, but it’s finally in pretty good condition. It was quite tatty when I bought it.

Hello Phil,

Thank you for your reply.

I did manage to track it down in the end. Couldn’t agree on a price with the seller so had to walk away.

Glad to hear it’s still in good working order and you are enjoying it.

Owned it from new and went to Stuttgart to pick it up from the factory.

If you are ever looking to sell in the future I would love to have a conversation.

Many Thanks

Tom Scott

Hi Tom,

That must have been an experience going to Stuttgart! At some point I’m aiming to visit the factory in the car.

I’ve had to do a fair bit to it over the last 3 years, I’ve had a full suspension refresh, new brakes all round, the gearbox was rebuilt following an issue with a faulty ground strap, it needed a bit of bodywork tidying, wheels were re painted recently back to silver (they were black when I purchased), replaced lots of tatty bits of trim etc too. I also fitted the PCCM+, which makes it feel pretty modern now.

I only really get to drive it at the weekend, but I love every minute of it.

I’ve not really thought about selling, but if you were genuinely interested, I’d be happy to talk.

Thanks for replying,

Phil
