Quick one - I am going to start my hunt for a Murcie in the next few weeks. Who should I get to inspect? I’m no mechanic so want any car to be looked at by a trusted expert beforehand.

Probably looking at a 640 coupe rather than 6.2. I just prefer the look. And can’t stretch to a SV. All advice welcome. There is one that I have my eye on (orange one at VVS).

Hope to report good news soon…!

Thanks. Love a good cafe. Though Chester is a fair old schlep for me…

There's a runway and complimentary airside transfers next to the cafe too

Just the one…

Still need to get the inspection done, PPF it (paint is perfect) etc. no massive rush given the time of year though I’m as excited as a kid at Christmas.

I wouldn’t trust them with a bicycle, personally.

Not particularly local (Hertfordshire) but happy to travel for the right car. This one seems excellent but I’m no mechanic so it needs a full check. I won’t collect until some time in Jan after check, service, PPF, etc.

In the end I’ve gone with Sevenoaks. They’re more local, doing the service and have discounted rates for VVS customers. Win win win. Hopefully…!
