from a sellers point of view, for me it would be strange to accept a lower offer, and then maybe the buyer turns up and offers a lower amount again.
what are your thoughts on this practice.

If you wait until April when the motor car is registered as an historic vehicle it will sell easily for the current asking price, maybe more.
A thought on accepting a lower price before the buyer sees the motor car: I suspect you would then lay yourself open to an even lower price when he/she views the car. It is up to you, but if you did that I'd suggest agreeing a firm price over the telephone and then taking a deposit (it need not be much, I should think £100 would be plenty to hold the sale). If the prospective buyer won't part with £100 he/she probably isn't serious about the purchase anyway.
