Good price?

How much do we think dealer paid?

With his p/exd profit it might have cost him 50/60% to put the Sc on his forecourt at that price 🤔 …….. wrong season to be selling a convertible …… and a motor home !

But the dealer has to live 😇

Low miles, excellent service history 2006 example. Grey.

Tempting and only 5 miles away. Black interior though.

I might find it 'tempting' if the person trying to sell had the first clue how to present it to us.

On the face of it looks worth a look to me.

That is a beautiful looking example and seems well presented, the black leather can be a blessing as it’s always looks immaculate.

I’m now on my 3rd cream leather example and need to attend to it with some leather dye, if suffers easy from jeans and other clothing marking it .

 All I can find on a free history check with this grey one is mileage discrepancy in 2010.

lts got to be worth a look that close to you 👍🏻

It looks like an mot tester typo.

Has no bearing today as is still a low miler and cam belt just done apparently.

Might have a peek later.

Having been looking for around a year before I bought mine last month, this price seems very good..sadly higher roadtax but I swallowed that with mine as the price was right .

[Bob King]

Boot trim has been out ..caps missing from roller cover .

[Mossypossy]

What would necessitate this? Also boot seal seems unduly worn lower left side?

Fired off some questions to seller.

Could be as simple as rear shock absorbers have been replaced, the trim had to come out to do that.
     Audio amp and dvd drive also live under the floor area .

[Mossypossy]

Does state two shocks have been done. No mention which.

[Mossypossy]

First major hurdle over. Wife is not completely against me having a new toy....😇

[Malc1]

with the hood collapsed back into the boot space you do realise there's not quite enough room for a pack of sandwiches don't you 🤫

[Mossypossy]

I am aware of this aspect. Not even a box of matches if I got a spare wheel!

There is loads of space on the back seat for a jam sandwich or two.

[Mossypossy]

However......this gives me some hope.

I'm not sure there's room for a picnic on the rear seat of mine but the SC will carry far more than most give it credit for.  

Posted this before in the build thread - SC430 on tour.  

[Mossypossy]

You know you can get a spare wheel cover?

[Malc1]

That’s a spacesaver wheel ?

Yes - the covers are rare to find and yes. 🙂

The space-saver fits into a 'vertical well' and there is a hole for a bracket and bolt to hold it in place. 

My full size rears are 275s fronts are 255, none of those are fitting so it has to be a space-saver or the roof stays on. Don't tell anyone but I prefer to drive it with the roof on even when it's sunny and hot.

[Mossypossy]

Seems I am too late. Someone appears to have bought it for £8k. Vendor will let me know if it falls through.
