I just picked her up. It was £2,200.00 but he never got a single phone call so he dropped it to £1,750.00 and I was the first person to call and he had to refuse it to a few people! :D It had been standing for 7 months, and when he went to start it, it wouldn't start so I took it for £1,300.00. :lol:

I hope it's a simple problem. It only had 5,000 miles! :D It came with race exhaust and a paddock stand and to my joy, the entire restriction kit package in a box, INCLUDING THE PAPER WORK! :D :D :D

It was a 62 year old who owned it, and only used it on nice weekends but he had a car accident and is now blind. His friend sold it for him, and it was so genuine.

When loading it into the van, the prat put the blank too far in so it was a drop from the top of the plank to the van floor and the front wheel dropped off and the fairing landed straight on it. :evil: It's snapped a few lugs, but easily fixable. It's got a tiny scruff on the right hand side fairing but once again, I can easily touch that up with just a sticker, and since it's a Nastro Azzurro, there's stickers all over it! :D

I'm just waiting for my mum to give me the camera now, and I'll go and take some pictures. It's dark, though, since it's 10:30pm here in England but I'll give it a try and try and get a nice effect. :)
