The car I bought
was advertised on EBay during January 2004. I thought the car
was sold, however I e-mailed the seller with my telephone number
and later he contacted me telling me the car was available once
more! It was a basic Clubman car that had been very well looked
after with only 300 miles showing. Only downside was that it was
fitted with 4 Front Tarmac wheels!
I found that the
owner hadn't registered it at all over the last 2 years of
ownership. This was highlighted following an HPI check that I
conducted. We agreed that TAL should carry out some remedial
work to ensure that the car would not be damaged before I
started to use it. It also gave me the opportunity to sit tight
until Mark (the previous owner) registered it.
The transaction
went through smoothly and the workshops of Bromsgrove sorted the
car. Primarily, replacing fluids and giving it a good check
over. Dave Pearson, said the car had a minor oil leak which he
said he would sort out. In the meantime I was advised that it
would be sensible to fit power steering while it was off the
road. This was after Michael Pearson mentioned that its was a
bit of handful after they took it up to get an MOT! |
