It's a lot of dough though Think they've over-egged it  _________________ Me? The 13th Duke of Wybourne? Here? In a sixth form girl's dormitory? At three o'clock in the morning? With my reputation? What were they thinking of?

Shame about the Blue Interior. Yellow Belts & Dials can be easily changed, however finding a Black Interior is almost impossible.
All IMO of course.

Why does an MOT check on the number N316LKX say 'not recognised?' _________________ Ex:

Was more than likely on a private plate and the crossover/transfer back to an age related number has not been fully updated by the DVLA as yet.

Car looks good but I do find the hyperbole somewhat unnecessary and cringe worthy.
'Excellent value for money and such an opportunity'. ????

Carkid, I would agree the final statement in the advert was unnecessary. I used our old copy for the car in an attempt to be efficient / lazy. Having only covered a few hundred miles since those images were taken the car hasn't changed and as such I was comfortable with this. When we advertised the car before it was cheaper, obviously prices have risen and we've got to where we are now. It's not excellent value for money at the current asking price, just the going rate for a wide bodied 993 in this sort of overall condition. We were accused of underpricing the car last time and it sold very quickly so perhaps the hyperbole, as you put it, was both cringeworthy and accurate.
I've removed the final statement in the advert for now to put you more at ease.
The car was previously owned by Mr Miligan, well known in these parts. He had it for approx 10 years.
Your struggle in finding the registration when attempting and MOT history check is indeed due to a cherished plate transfer. I'm sure DVLA will update their records in due course.

Knowing the team at 911v the car will be a good one and in is very competitively priced in the current market, good wide body cars are very hard to find, I am sure it will find a new owner quickly.

I had a chance to buy this car a couple of years ago and I now regret not buying it.
It will be sold in short order I should imagine.

Car looks lovely, but 112k miles for £95k seems quite a lot of money? _________________ 993S with 62K,
