Possibly even Robert needed another one. Even I was thinking about it and I don't want either a series 2 or another car at present.

I surprised that Robert hasn't mentioned that this one now lives in Co. Down, N. Ireland, as I've just spotted a BXC thread which shows a photo of V454 FGC which is now owned by (Roger Porter) !

Here's what it looked like when it was advertised damaged :-



I wonder if Roger bought it directly from the E-bay seller or from some trader after it was repaired ?

Nice to see that's its back on the road !

Damaged/scruffy/scrapped, is the way to buy them.

Whoops... Naughty me...

Just after the sale I drove up to somewhere very rural just north of Shrewsbury to meet the new owner.
Was scrapping a S reg silver estate at the time so took up a bonnet and other bits.
He had just driven down from Scotland in a green N reg 2.5 estate with some bits for me.
We looked over a gate at a SORN green 2.5 estate with a cracked windscreen I was thinking of buying.
That car determined the swap spot.
He went west for the Holyhead ferry and I did eventually decline the estate due to the problems of getting it home.

LOL.

It certainly looks tidy now.

Hi Robert,
So are you saying that it was you that bought it from Nigels (Endorfin) post/spot or was it Roger, as the 'Aye,Aye' doesn't come across to folk as if was you ?

If it was you,you keep that very quiet !

We though we would wait and see how long it took to get noticed that Robert had bought the car.
Never expected it to be nearly two years.
A very early and a very late XM both low mileage were expected to made a very nice pair of long term keepers.
But Robert uses his cars and found he could not justify keeping both.
Difficult decision when you have put a lot of work in returning the cars to near original.
Pleased to see the Mk2 car has found a new owner that will cherish it.
