You may think i'm being picky here and to an extent i am but if the car was up for £895, i probably wouldn't have mentioned anything. At £8995, people want a perfect car in every way and will be a lot more picky to find the right one.
Better to hear it in what i hope was a constructive way from someone like me that wants to wish you well for the sale than a potential buyer looking for points they can use to negotaite the price down. You may get your £9k but you will have to wait and i'd strongly suggest addressing those points i made at least, alternatively perhaps consider a lower (more realistic) price.
Whichever path you choose, good luck with it!

Hello,
Thank you for your comments! However, I do have the headlight wipers they was removed to fit the new headlights and I never got round to putting them back on. Secondly, the paint is original and so yes it does need a good polish now and then and it does come up great! As you can see from the pictures the rear seats are down and it was storing a set of seats for my other car. They have now been taken out the car and I am going to upload some new pics as these was just taken to show the car that was advertised! Thirdly, the wheels I had painted black as they are easier to keep clean plus IMO I think they suit the car better!! Fourthly, When I have the time I will give the car a full valet and polish inside and out showing just how clean and straight this car is! And lastly, from the wrecks Ive seen for sale over the last 6 months which were priced between 3-6k that had double the millage, 6+ owners and riddled in rust this I’m comparison is far from! The price is negotiable like everything! And being that I’ve owned it for the last 17 years I’m certainly in no rush to let it go!! Not only that but for those who seem to be worried about how the sale is going, I’ve been approached by a chap in the US who is very interested! He’s actually had shipping companies contact me to see how flexible I am to arrange a time if collected. And one more thing I’d like to point out is…. it was insured on classic car insurance with an agreed value of £11000. So for those who want to make any remarks or comments I suggest you keep them to yourself as the bottom line is you don’t have a 240 in this condition and never will have because you probably can’t afford one!
GOOD DAY!
