The guy bought it in Norfolk, took it all the way back to Edinburgh, changed the rear light clusters, registered as a member on OOF, posted some pics, then declared he was selling it and stuck it on ebay, all in the space of a few weeks...

Said it before, say it again... I smells a rat!  ::)

Me too... But I'd still be interested in buying it if it had the right wheels ::)

Why does it have the wooden effect ? Though the mv6 had silver trim around the sterio/gear knob/ doors? :-\

It would look great with my Irmy Stila's on... If it was black or dark blue, it wouldn't still be for sale!  ::) :-X

Colour did have a little impact. But, TBH, with expanding the business into another area (and another on the cards for the next 6 weeks or so!) I can't justify spending any non-urgent money on the car at the moment, hence why I ended up with a couple of "Rapid" tyres on the rear axle this morning to make it legal again :-[ ::)

Don't worry about it Paul.  With your 'assertive' driving style, they won't be on there for long...  ;) :-X

The guy I normally use for tyres said he's not had any complaints but also admitted that he doesn't know many people who are as demanding on tyres as I am ::)

TBH, they're probably good enough for the capabilities of the wallowy Elite suspension and should see me through until I have changed it over and bedded it in (I haven't forgotten BTW :-[ :-[)

Don't worry Paul, it's not a problem.  Told you before that if it gets to a point when it has to go, I'll let you know before I do anything.  You have my word on that.  :y

I mentioned the missing tailgate trim in a previous thread.  Either is wasn't spec'd when new, or it's been removed at some point.  Either way, the rear end doesn't look right without it.  :-\
