White G on Ebay anyone know if it's one of our members
Having read the note about the auto diesel below I had a look at the white G on ebay as I used to own one and wanted to track it down and see if I could get it back! link below

Sure enough it was my old car as i know those mats anywhere as I was planning, back then, to have the seats leathered in burgundy and bumpers etc colour keyed.
I have been trying to contact the seller and had no reply so wondered if anyone knew them on here?
I went back to place a bid and was distracted by a customer at work and missed the deadline.
Any help to contact them would be appreciated, I have mailed them to contact me so we will see what happens, and yes I have just bought Chilipeppers 300GES and my wife is getting concerned that we could be a three g family and yes i did go home last night bearing gifts for here in the way of skin care etc!!!!!!!
Thanks and have a great day

cant help on the G front, but lady tip, once the final purchase has been made while your off collecting send her to get nails done, i did it with my lady while i was in my exams and she seemed to forget about all the stress fits i had at her!

im bored doing uni work so thought i'd give a little tip! hope you get hold of the seller, would be great to get an old car back, i have two previous vehicles on my list for when i have the money/space again.

Sorry Murph, I've already bought it, although I haven't seen it yet. What condition was the car when you had it?
i also had my eye on that one....

Well done, that will teach me to be quicker.
The car was first owned by an older gentleman from new based in the Cambridge area and he backed it into a bollard and the rear bumper was damaged when I bought it (as he was about 80 years old his neighbour sold it for him) I renewed the bumper and throughouly cleaned the white paintwork. I had the burgundy carpets specially made and the windows tinted. I planned to have a burgundy leather interior however sold the car.
The car was in great condition and I think about 60000 miles on the clock which I took it up to around 70000 I seem to remember and sold it to a retired chap who I believe lived in Wiltshire. He had the tints taken off as soon as he took delivery.
He must have sold it to the current owner.
I would have bought it back with pleasure however do not know the current condition.
Best of luck and it would be great to know what you think of it and yes if you want to sell please let me know.
All the best

Well Murph, we will know what is like tomorrow...
Leeu
How did it go today? hope the car is what you expected.
Let's hear your thoughts
thanks

The car is magnificent! If I ever made a good buy, this is it. The interior is spot free, no signs of rips on wear, not even on the pedals or steering wheel.
The outside is rust free and original, not a mark.
Tyers are 90%, but to small for my liking, 225 16's. They'll have to make way for some 265 MT's for where we live.
The only work needed is new shocks and rear springs and the one front caliper is sometimes sticky.
All in all Murph, I don't think I'll be selling this one for about another 20 years or so. I've got my 230 for 9 now and it stayed through my G55 days, Disco 3 days, Posche, Clk cabriolet... and I intent keeping both for a loooong time.
This one was a find.
Ah I am really pleased the car has been looked after as I did bring it back to it's former glory but once someone pays the money for the car that's it you don't know what happens from there!
I would love to see the car some day if you are down south and I wish you well with it.
All the best
