Test drive done, (Pleasnt little car to drive) deal sealed with a handshake. The car has done 56k and he has agreed to fit a new timing belt kit as it is due at 60 and is still on the original. The body comes in rather a nice white.
It turns out I vaguely know the previous owner, he is a gardener / handyman ay a care home I deliver too. I've often admired the car as it is always immaculate, I don't think I've ever seen a streak of dirt on it.
Here's hoping, I think this is the most I've ever paid for a used car. My last however many have been in the 1 - 1.5k bracket, but finding a decent old motor for those prices seems next to impossible at the moment.
