Hi, Why are you selling it so soon after you purchased it ?
Are there any faults with the car?
Are you a dealer ?
It does state in the advert - ‘ Since then it’s covered fewer than 100 miles and sadly the new owner’s plans to export it to Cyprus haven’t come to fruition as he’s found the process much harder than expected’Are there any faults with the car?
Are you a dealer ?
Hi there and thank you for your enquiries.
No I am not a dealer!
There is nothing wrong with the car !
I was planning to take it to Cyprus where I am retiring but I cannot do that because it’s more than 5 years old and not old enough to qualify as a Classic car!
The car has actually got 37,000 miles now and it’s in pristine condition. I haven’t done any work on it either!

Hi,
Did you get a price to resolve the issue stated below:
There is one small mechanical issue to report: the offside exhaust bypass valve is seized in the open position, probably as a result of a previous owner removing the fuse that operates them; in agreement with the dealer, this has been left alone as it just results in a better sound throughout the rev range and frankly we’d just remove the fuse to open the other valve!
Also if you could share info on serpentine & clutch as previously asked.
Thanks

Hello again,
As I said in my opinion there is nothing wrong with the car,I have explained the reasons why I am selling it. I did not have any work done on it and neither did I think that it needs anything done. I had no estimates either since the car has not been to any garage.
I don't know when the serpantine or whatever is called was changed or anything else done on the car but there is a lot of info on the website with bills of work done by previous owners which may give you the answer you want.
Sorry I can't be more helpful but as I have also stated previously the car has now done 37,000 miles and it drives fine and I never experienced any problems with it. It also sounds great when the engine is started but unfortunately I cannot take it to Cyprus, you can check that any imports have to either be under 5 years old or be classified as "Classic" cars, otherwise they are not allowed in the country! Naturally, I was not aware of this when I bought the car.
