I think you got a bargain to be fair, prob a little more that what the chap had been offered as trade.

Indeed - I put mine up at £6,500 simply to try and better the trade-in price I'd settled on. I had not planned to change the car when I did, so there was only a week to play with, so I deliberately went low to make the car as attractive as I could whilst still making a bit more money.
If I'd known I was going to trade it I'd have put it up for sale earlier because there would have been time to wait for more views etc. I would have looked to put it up at £7,500 with the hope of getting £7,000.
Yes, mine was the D2 but on the other hand it had quite a few more bells and whistles than yours, so in all honesty I do think you are setting your sights a little high - your price would be OK for a garage selling with a warranty, but I suspect too much for the private buyer with no comeback.
Good looking car though and best of luck with the sale!
