I noticed that too as I was just about to point someone towards it who was after an immaculate example.

Let's hope he's changed his mind :D or god forbid he's sold it already :cry:

Took a £500 deposit on mine yesterday. First viewer. He's coming back Tuesday or Wednesday to collect. Agreed the full asking price and said it was by far the best example he'd seen.

Already a 944 owner - upgrading from a C plate Lux to my (C Plate) S2!!

I think he hails from Maidenhead, Gordon!!

Cheers,
George
