    Ah good stuff. A cheap one-way flight may be on the cards then!

    Has it got a carbon effect dash or is that just the photos, looks reasonable value for a dealer sale,

    One word of caution, there are a lot of things that need or will need doing at or around 60k miles as I am finding out! Get a pro to check if poss or if not:

    rear brakes, handbrake, cooling fan, aircon, handbrake, look for a large service 'c' service and lastly handbrake!

    Dont assume that a small issue is an easy cheap issue to resolve!

    FYI Cornhill is a very small village about 45 miles north of Aberdeen, getting from Aberdeen to there will not be easy (Hate to think what a taxi would cost!)

    Car hire probably best option.

    Thanks for the info, I do have Monty's in Penarth quite nearby so they'd be able to check. Definitely something to bring up during negotiating.

    Their sales guy offered to pick me up from the airport himself so that shouldn't be too much trouble

    I dont think you can determine the original build spec on these cars,

    Some cars, such as VW Audi have spec labels, but never seen one on mine?

    This is very much in the running to be my 260, quite fancy a run back from Scotland, great way to get the feel of the car.

    Believe me, you will want your first trip in the V8 to be a long one,

    When I first got mine, I popped down the shops, 2 hours later... ahem!
