Nick

[Steve and his 244]

I'll just add to this ad, Nick has over the past few years done an absolutely top job on restoring this beauty of a car, I spent a week with him a year or so back and we spent a week working on the car, everything Nick does is top notch work, he doesnt cut corners and is a top bloke with a passion for quality of finish.

The car has had truly obsessive detailing work carried out on it. If you think my car is well cleaned, this just takes it to another level.

I do also know that it is a genuine and very much regretted sale. I was just talking to Nick and he was in tears as he wrote this ad - the only reason for sale is that Nick has gone to University and cant realistically keep the car.

If I had £1500, or even a way of borrowing £1500, I would snap Nicks arm off for this car. If the new owner doesnt look after it, theyll have me to deal with because I know how much this car means to Nick.

Thats all, ill be very sad to see this car sold, even though its not my car. Me and Nick are absolute best mates and if it wasnt for our 240s, we'd have never met.

Steve

P.S - Nick had nothing to do with me just writing that.

Well Nick, I think you should keep it. In the future, I think you'll regret letting it go, with all the time effort and emotion you have invested in it.

But if you have decided that selling is really what you want to do, I wish you all the best with the sale and I hope that a caring new owner will step forward, and hopefully we can still keep in touch with the car on the forum.

Good luck

John

After following your resto thread, it makes me kinda sad inside to see you selling the car

[Mike1967]

My gosh Nick cannot believe you selling your beloved car . Are there any problems with it anywhere ?

[240GLT1989saloon]

Keep it, man!

You will regret selling it.

And if you're definitely gonna sell it, ask for more than that! Even tho it is a "members only price"

I guy offered me £1500 for mine on tuesday! Nearly double what I paid but I politely declined.
