Hi All,
Have been a member on here for a little while now (although i need to renew my forum membership!).
I bought Will's (bill1) old vee from here at the beginning of last year and unfortunately had to sell the car shortly after due to needing some cash to fund another interest of mine (I own a small sailing yacht with my other half and unfortuntely we encountered a snapped mast.... costly replacement to say the least).
Anyway, I sold the car last year to a chap called Ben who lives relitively locally. A week or so ago I got in contact with him to see how he was and ask if he was enjoying the car. As it turns out, my timing was perfect as Ben was beginning to have thoughts of selling the vee to fund another purchase.... so I i immediately arranged to see him to discuss a price to buy the vee back.
To cut the long story short, we shook hands and I have agreed to buy it back. Have left him with a deposit and due to pick the car up next month (cant pick up sooner as going away on holiday for 3 weeks soon so would rather wait until i get back).
I really am chuffed and look forward to enjoying her again, even if it is through the winter! To my amasement the vee has only covered 1,100 miles since i sold her, and has even been treated to a full cambelt change which included a major service and some tasty new rubber
. She was due her second belt change this year anyway but glad to see Ben got it all done on time.
Will post some pictures when i pick her up next month!
Thanks
Nick
