I was there at the NEC on Saturday and enquired about this car and had a good look at it

Silverstone auctions told me that the person that ordered it had paid for it but was no longer in a position to register of the vehicle

They wouldn’t tell me but I suspected that the person who ordered it had either died or was too ill to drive it

It all looked absolutely fine and brand spanking new. Although one thing it did notice was the right hand (as you look at the front) LED headlight lamp was wonky - Morgan PDI???

The beige hood and dark red looked great but I didn’t think the chocolate brown seats went with the whole package. It certainly wouldn’t have been my choice of upholstery - mulberry or beige to either match the hood or body colour would have been better in my opinion

If it had been a manual, I would have been very tempted to bid on it but it might have gone to a higher price

Had a potential new owner instead of a dealer won the auction and wanted an Auto, at £60K they would have got a bit of a bargain
