Silverstone auction

[CideRed]

Hi - I was the lucky (i hope!) winner from the action, went under the hammer at 30k, meaning 34.5k total once fees added. Even with the engine plate being the wrong way up! Has long been my dream car, absolute number 1 on the bucketlist - and whilst a 3.2 in about 3 years was the original plan, a trip up to Race Retro on Friday (only went to look at old racing cars and maybe buy a poster!), a wander into the auction hall, and plans were set.

Car has a decent history from about 2013 onwards, and just MOTs before then. Was originally imported in 2003. Was owned in the past by a BRDC member, and Le Mans vetern - looks like he passed away in 2013, and i guess older service records with him. But i can see it has been well loved since, including cambelt and brakes at Plans in 2015.

Has a "Sports exhaust", but I couldn't see an invoice for it so guess has been on for a while, has four pipes, and sounds very nice at startup is all i have so far.

Likely picking it up next weekend - and a car i plan never to sell, so might as well enjoy it. It's 93k miles, so no need to hide it away - will be enjoyed.
