Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Rarely

The seller pays for professional photography and a video if they want to (under £200 for mine)
Their journalists write the spiel and the buyer pays bonhams 5% plus vat on the hammer price at the auction end.
I didn’t have the nerve to go no reserve so they agree with you the lowest you’ll let it go for.

Thanks for the advice chaps. I think it may run headlong into how long I have available- I’m back in the UK on the 10th of April and (theoretically) have to be at my desk in Singapore on the 1st of June.

Not that long to organise everything and I’m travelling from the 1st to the 8th of May also.

So! Fast trumps detailed, if that makes sense.

If I could get the WBAC advertised price I’d take it, although maybe I’d keep the bolt-in camper conversion, if that didn’t affect the price.

A thread on PH says it's quite accurate, if you've been honest. Why not try the others too, motorway, Arnold Clarke etc?

Help! I've lost the only key to my 2004 Volvo. If I get any random "carkeys4u" company from Google to come out and fix it how can I know I'm not getting ripped off [more than necessary]?

Two new flex hoses fitted and feeling good, fingers crossed this sorts the sticking brakes.

Green is such an underrated Subaru colour. Hope it sorts it out.

I wonder whether I’d do better going to a camper place? Not that I know of any

Neither do I. With motorway I think dealers bid on stuff, so they might find you?

What about singing up to loads of forums.

What's the mtb forum where its basically mandatory to have a Transporter? Surely they'll jizz all over this?

You'll like it, food is epic, place is clean, people are decent, it doesn't rain constantly, pretty sure Boris and Nigel have never been there.
Its bolted onto Malaysia which is equally epic. We are moving to same area this year, just had enough of the UK TBH.
WBAC appraisal prices make cars look cheap here compared to the island, anything with an engine on wheels there is taxed to hell, biking is very good though :P

What’s the forum recommendation for car mats?

Ooh Matron! I read this comment completely out of context.

😂

Anyway, spotted this today and now I want one.

Ebay. Find ones that are custom for your model. Then buy the ones that match your budget /use

Remember to check if you have fixings or not.

Thanks. I had a notion that there was a company which was recommended.

Maybe. Sorry that's what I didn't. They were decent quality, but nothing fancy.

Thanks. My daughter wants pink stitching - fancy 😂

I bet there will be options for pink stitching. Might take more searching than red or blue.

...or maybe not

That looks like what she was wants. Thanks - again.

lovely. Get one!

Today was a good day. Turns out the 900 is still producing factory power figures, not bad for a 30 year old car. For anyone in the South West couldn't recommend Daniel Lloyd enough
