Just before Xmas I offered him £19K cash and he turned me down.............that's with me knowing it needed the Cam-Belt/Water-Pump etc.
Thinking about it, so glad he turned me down as it's just too much, regardless how rare the colour.
If someone buys then the very best of luck to them as it's a great looking car.

My thoughts exacly. I too was offered this car, then he called and said it wasn't for sale, and after it was taken off eBay first time around, he dropped me an email saying that he had decided to sell the car after all, but I wasn't going to pay £19K for a Vee still on its original cam belt and no opportunity to see the car running/being driven.
As such, I am surprised that he relisted it without at least having the cam belt done. With the lack of attention to detail one needs to take into account the car's mechanical health and how it has been maintained over the years, especially since one cannot see/hear/feel it running properly when viewing it. However, if there were a folder full of receipts covering all its maintenance then it would be a different story, but, given that the cam belt has not been replaced in 8 years one wonders how the other maintenance schedules have been adhered to.
When I purchased #314, even though it was SORN'ed and had no MOT, Andrew still took me out for a test drive so I knew the car ran and behaved as one would expect a new one should.

I was told I could have it for 19k but declined due to cambelt etc.
I have emailed him with my original offer & will take it from there.
As stated above I would not pay 20k unless it was A1 with sub 10k miles.

Speaks wonders when a previouse vee owner is stepping up to the mark to buy another at this price. After seeing Carls car in France, its my favorite colour by a mile on a ph2 and if I really wanted an Acid the I'd prepare myself to pay a good wack more than the usual illiad, liquid and mars cars.
I guess I'm in the minority but I don't get on with this colour at all. Whenever I see one I reminded of Colemans mustard that's been left so long it separates and the nasty pus coloured stuff that rises to the top should be called 'Acid yellow'.
Ray Charles loves his though...

If it was A1 with cambelt change then I would pay 19k as it is though that's another issue.
Such a shame I had to sell my original one due to redundancy
IIRC I paid best part of 19k for my first one 5 years ago lol.
My next Vee won't be bought to make a profit as I will not be selling..... EVER!
Fair enough mate, it must have been painful having to let your last one go and also to witness what happened to it afterwards.
You clearly have a connection to the car / colour so if it's what you want then definitely worth going for.
We all keep moaning about the prices being too low so we shouldn't be critical if a fellow member wants to be pay what is still reasonable money for a rare example
