I feal sorry for this chap
this was his response :
Q : has it been used offroad?
Answer
"As far as I know it hasnt. I havnt and when I bought it, it had low profile tyres as apparently the previous owner had it as a company car and used it for high milage motorway - but assume everyone says that!"
I wonder how much he paid for it ?Duncan

Ah yes she was my first and best One of the first out. Our first trip was to Cardiff and we stayed at a posh hotel. In the foyer of the hotel as we pulled up Richard Hammond was just leaving he stopped and gave us err the car a double take. At that moment I thought 'that'll do me'
I sold the vehicle at an auction to a dealer. When the dealer sold on again the new buyer (I presume this Guy) contacted me and I told him everything about the car and what it had done.
She did love swimming though

And telling me porkies, I asked the same question as dunc and got the following answer:
"Not as far as I know. I havnt and when i bought the car it was a company car on low profile tyres. Its now on brand new pirellis.
Fwiw ive had a few people ask me what id sell it for and ive said 10k as in good faith i couldnt really sleep well if it went much higher as its been such a nightmare car. I called ebay but they wont let me put a buy now as bids have been placed."
At that price I'd be wondering if it's been nicked or cloned...........
