Sorry to disturb you out of the blue but I am looking for one of these fine cars to take part in a shoot in Putney  later this month, preferably red - petrol monies to be refunded and lunch provided.
 
Many thanks

I missed the disclaimer and I also told them that they shouldnt sit anyone on the soft top hatch if they wanted to avoid a damages bill ;D

Eric,  are you hinting that the original request from “Andrew" for a car for a photo shoot is suspect??

No, nothing of the sort, I just thought it better to be safe than sorry.
In view of the Pagoda's that have been stolen in the southeast it would be good insurance to check, as Peter says, do your home work,

Thanks Eric,

I was worried that maybe we had posted something that was fraudulent but I agree better to check than be sorry.
