He was offered slightly more, but honoured the 1st buyer as he'd given a deposit. He's only put 50 miles on it and intended to keep, but the prices he was seeing meant he had to give it a punt. To say I'm gobsmacked is an understatement!
Why Gobsmacked?
I can't see why the level of interest, is all.

Same applies to 4-5 year old £6k Rolex 116610LV's selling for £25k.

More money than sense is a remarkably common condition ;)

Watchfinder have just offered me £19.5k-£20k for mine and £14.5k for my BLNR. I'm quite tempted as I think the bubble will burst there soon.

I heard today that my Defender is still on schedule to be built next week. Apparently Land Rover have said that production continues despite the wiring loom manufacture in Ukraine but that it will have an impact in due course.

But I would much rather hear that the conflict was ending, and I would gladly forgo delivery of my car if it would help in that regard.
