I'm afraid it doesn't look like we're having much success either. We haven't heard from Derek since he sent some pictures, despite requesting to come and view the car several times :-(

Maybe he can't bear to part with it?

I had contacted him a while ago and he sent some picures, I was interested to see what condition it was in. I didn't take it any further as I would get into serious trouble if found out! and have nowhere to hide another car!

Last contact was 11/12/11

I can make space for this or possibly use it as a daily. You guys know I'd be good to it Wonder what sort of money he'd be wanting?
