Problem is now Joe, if you do want to sell it every one knows what you paid for it and know one likes to pay more than someone has paid for something.

Good luck any way

Thing is, after this mess about I'm not sure If I want to go through with it even if it's offered to me???
If I do, I think an AA warranty is definitely on the cards though...

Hmmm sounds like time to walk away to me Joe... as difficult as that will be for you I know !!

The seller sounds like a right ing idiot to me !!

Hey ,You'd better get it before trying to move it on !!
That seller has an excellent feedback rating .....so seems that maybe he is just trying to do what he thinks is right

Just had a call from the registered owner.

He sounds like a top guy. I think it may be mine again I will know today apparantly.

What to do......

What a rollercoaster..

Have you planned to put 'standard' 156 headlights on it, as an ironic twist?

Still saving to get some 'modded' by that nice eBay chap....

I think I will just take out the headlights altogether

Well I've put a hold on new orders at the mo because I was literally flooded with requests! Ebay was very popular too.

I've got 6 orders in the UK and 2 for Ireland.


Update on the GTA sharade........ No change.

It is hard for the light to keep up with a GTA That's why their headlamps were special.

Fingers crossed everything goes the right way. Maybe the original bidder's been a lurking here and realised what I bargain he's missed out on.
He should've pulled the trigger straight away, to my mind it should be a done deal in your favour.
Scott.

Thanks for the support Scott.

Joe,

Try Autotrader insurance,they are doing some great deals at the moment,They were £60 cheaper to go with budget via them than budget direct figure that 1 out!!!!!

Is it a done deal then? What about the dubious reg. date - Any clarification.

Good man Ned sorting the HPI out for you.

First registered in Northern Ireland in 2002. Then registered in England on 8th Oct 2003. It's still not a confirmed deal, although it is 90% likely I will get the car. I am told.

Spoke to DVLA UK and all is ok.

Need to call DVLA Northern Ireland tomorrow as they are closed now.
