Have you bid, I have and currently the highest bidder, by a lot more that currently shows, but do not want to get into a bidding was, that pushes up the price, so lets communicate; I dont want to force you to bid more, nor the other way round...... ;) ;)

Can't find it  ::). I presume seen as you already have a 2.6 it would be most likely a 3.0/3.2 or even a 2.2.

Now then, this is an interesting situation, 2 or 3 OOFers bidding on the same car, we don't want to bid too much........... ::) ::) ::) what to do...... :-\ - I know what he said he wants for it......... :-X :-X

I never have got my head around why a car with dual zone climate control even needs a sunroof,my signums the same,I have only opened it once and that was to check if it worked :-X

I seem to recall that if a car had air con, let alone climate, it did not come with a sunroof, if you wanted one you had to order it as a special order..... :-\ :-\

I used to use it a lot.

1) For opening fully when getting into a stinking hot car to let the heat out (works very quickly)

2) Kept closed but with the shade back to let some light in.

Yep, give me the extra headroom and a roof that doesn't leak, or open and close randomly, any day!

If you want the wind in your hair, just don't have a roof at all. There is no half way house. ;)

Reserve price has been reduced, not sure to what, dare not ask, just sent me his post code so  I can sort out transport.....then swmbo says why?....... ::) ::) ::) I said cos you have been harping on about an estate, she replied,  but there is nothing wrong the the car she has, a saloon...... :-X :-X :-X

Congrats Mr.Vamps  :-\ :y

Nope not me, missed it by £40 or about 5 minutes as was gardening and lost track of time, maybe a blessing disguise..... :-\ :-\

My max bid was £750 though I had intended to go more than that tbh, put off putting a higher bid and leaving it as I could not see who I was bidding against, had they not been hidden and I could have identified several bidders I would have won the car; now, lets see if it gets relisted....... ;) ;)  Or some other oofer has bought it and has kept his thoughts quiet...........mind a lot of car for the money...... :y
