I spotted it in edgy Hoxton a couple of Sundays ago. The hipster coooonts were checking out the green velourz :)

..extremely nice record producer chap (with an exceedingly pleasant girlfriend) bought it , he's had an E9 and a few other exotics so seemed well placed to look after the old gal. Girlfriend was into cars too, she wouldn't drive his Viva because she thought it was sh*t :)

Foookin hipster cooonts ! :) Neil was that you on the evening of the 20th or the victim ? I was going to stick a note under the wiper, something to the effect of "Operation Yewtree is watching you" but a Sunday roast at Bacchus beckoned :)

PS The roast was rather ordinary and hardly sufficient to feed a growing chap like me, they had run out of lamb and all the deserts except the cheeseboard :( Luckily some other pseudo trendy cooont was paying ! :)

:D I think it had been served by then, it's been gone a fair while now. I can't believe I haven't bought anything else yet :( I gave the new owner your and Andy's details so he may be in touch.. You were spot on about the kind of buyer it'd go to in the end though... :)

On the plus side, in the process of buying a place with a drive, so the £2K Silver Shadow dream may be getting closer to fruition winkeye

Clearly a girl of exceptional taste! Incidentally, I still have a load of E12 520 bits that I want rid of so if you are in touch with the new owner, let him know that he can have them - I don't want much for them as I need the space. But only if he brings his Mrs! winkeye
