    Thanks eveyone for the advice. I have made a point of asking him to make sure any cash is stirling. Not sure if this will be a problem for him or not. I can see it might be.

    I would really like to drive to the bamk and pay the cash in before they leave, but i dont know of any bank with a cashier open on a Saturday afternoon.

    Just have to see what happens. Im probably getting ahead of myself. They may not even want it, or they may offer me silly money.

    Thanks once again. I will let you know what happens.

    i dont know of any banks open after lunchtime saturday. just use common sense, if in doubt of a anything dodgy just let him walk.

    i would be nervous of taking £8k at my house on a saturday pm and having to keep it safe as you cant bank it until monday am !!!! and there is no way of checking the cash.

    we dont take cash anymore over £1k and thats even being a dealer, 99% of transactions are done through cards or bank transfer etc

    your safest bet is to go to your bank with him monday am if he really wants it and sort out payment through your bank

    goodluck anyway

    Don't most banks now have paying in machines?

    Put in your card to verify account, put in cash.
    It will be counted and deposited straight in the account.
    Fake notes will be picked up on as well.

    I know HSBC has them and some others.

    Hi,

    Well, the Germans have been and gone. I am still the owner of a 260 for the mmoment.

    It was all pretty positive as they really liked the car. They had a few concerns about getting it registered in Garmany as i dont have a German LPG installation certificate (not sure why i would have). Anyway, they have taken a load of information away and intend to collect the car next weekend if they establish they can get one issued retrospectivly upon inspection in Germany. They are apparently coming to pick another car up from Birmingham next weekend which is handy.

    They were really nice guys and it turns out their garage (Erkens) prepared all of the ZT and 75 press cars over there. They did seem to know everything about the cars.

    Anyway, for the moment thee car is still for sale.

    Thanks

    Graham

    I assume you do have a UK issued Certificate of Conformancy (CoC)
    The LPG installer should have supplied one.

    I know that in France this has to be a Certificate in French but in general a EU-country issued certificate should present no problems with acceptance in other countries.

    Yes i have the UK certificate. I just think it was something they were not 100% on so couldnt take the risk. They have taken details of the UK certificate so hopefully that is all they need.
