    Maybe they are trying to recoup some costs from some repairs or storage?

    I know of a mate who has a workshop was stuck with a car last year, he had done about £1800 worth of repairs and the owner was not able to pay. After a couple of months he sent a solicitors letter and sold the car, the excess was sent to the owner.

    Probably worth a call to the auctioneers to find the out what is going on.

    Could actually be an oportunity? Low or no reserve even?
    I see that the Auction house listed it on the Car And Classic site yesterday. Same (lack of) information about the car itself, simply the auction date/time notification.

    It could well be, however it could also turn into a huge mess if it is indeed not the vendors car to sell etc. Some more digging is clearly needed.

    If I was absolutely adamant I had to have a shot silk car it might be worth a punt, I think it looks like a stunning colour but I'm not sure I'd want to own it. I have owned two monogram cars in the past, a Typhoon ZT 190 and the Bittersweet ZT-T 190, both got a lot of attention but the Bittersweet made it most difficult to drive around inconspicuously!

    I like the idea of real Q car this time, under the radar, most people wouldn't look twice at it thinking it was just an old ZT. If I can't get hold of a green car I think Grey would be my next choice.
