And a lovely example it is too, I saw this 'in the flesh' a few months ago when I was doing a few jobs for the owner, someone will be very pleased with this car.

It may be well looked after, but that's a lot of money for that mileage.

A nice car, 75 always look pretty special in black.

I love the Midsommer cars. Would love one. Alas funds will never allow. This looks a cracker.

I should have read the full and very detailed information on exactly what has been done to fully refurbish this car - the headline does not do it justice. The work done to it probably renders it better than new!

Beautiful car but I’m going to stick my neck out here and say attention to detail is lacking, take a look at the door shuts, they are filthy so that makes me ask what else is missed?

I don't always have time to clean in great detail but I try to keep the mechanics spot on. Maybe this person is the same?

Can’t deny that Dawn but the car is gleaming so why stop short on doing a proper job to make it even more desirable when selling. I’ve seen loads of shiny cars on Facebook all nice and shiny with painted callipers etc and I’m shocked when I see the underneath, some of them being absolutely rotten. This is the point I’m making. If I saw a car for sale where they’d not paid attention to detail at such a crucial thing as presenting it properly what else has been missed
