Had a chance to briefly check out the car this week. Its registered as M20JFC first reg august 2009, model IS250C SE-1 Auto. It has MoT to 12 sept mileage around the 110k mark ( I couldnt find the button to display full mileage so I am adding his typical annual mileage to the last MoT one).

Condition is pretty good. The car needs a wash and has three small paint defects which are shown on the photos I will send you if you let me have an email address ( file size 120MB). Two are 2cm size where paint has come off plastic and one is at a panel join, again small. The two front wheels need a refurb, again shown on the photos.No dents that I saw. Upholstery excellent. Engine starts first time , no oil smoke and is uncannily quiet at idle. I put the car into forward and into reverse without issue but I didnt have time to drive it. I dropped the convertible top and raised it again - no issue. There were no warning lights on the dash.

I knew John well and we often chatted about cars. He would have mentioned it if he had a significant issue with the car and he never did. He loved it - best car he had ever had in his view.
