I'll not be using it for commuting. Bar the odd supermarket 2 miles each way it'll be 20 miles minimum on A roads.
Went to see it last night. Lovely interior, very few squeaks and rattles, engine sounds sweet. FULL service history, mostly main dealer. 3 previous owners, goes like stink and makes a lovely noise. Oh, and the aircon does work.
Downsides are a few parking dings and stone chips and the odd bubble that I can easily get after.
I'm giving him a deposit tonight!
Thanks all for the advice.

Well what reg is it?
If it has frosted headlights and the rub-strips down the sides are more square-edged then it's likely a phase 2 and will be Nile Blue. These stopped in 1998 I believe, so anything V-plate onwards should be China Blue (but stranger things have happened...)

FFS!!! Car stolen from outside vendor's house last night. Police recovered, vendor is collecting it now....
Mmmm very hard to steal without keys.No damage, found about 1/8 mile away with rear wheel removed...picked it up this lunchtime and it's pretty good. Couple of small things to be looked into but overall, I'm happy. Did 50 miles today of varying surfaces and road types, some urban ste, performed impeccably. Weird driving a manual after 2 years of autobox luxobarging.
Needs a proper clean and polish, but not bad looking either...

Looks like a china blue one, great colour when all clean and polished.

You'll be seeing it intimately soon, Carl. It was me who e-mailed you recently for a cambelt kit quote and there's a couple other things I want you to look at. Get paid on the 15th so I'll be in touch soon after. I passed your place today as it happens. Were you one of the bunch stood outside? (about 16.00)Carl
