Richard Glover Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I have reluctantly come to the decision that I must give up driving, as my macular degeneration is making it very difficult to see things/people in marginal light conditions, and my insurers have indicated that they are “unable to offer renewal terms for the coming year”.

Magnet Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Hello Richard, Many thanks for joining, and being of a certain age, I sympathise with your need to give up driving - not a good day. Thanks for all the details. Could you please supplement this with your asking price ( as opposed to ‘offers’). Good luck in finding a good home for the car. Kind regards, Gareth. 1
Richard Glover Posted June 26, 2023 Author Posted June 26, 2023 This Allroad is running beautifully, and I would be reckonimg on another couple of years if I could still drive. I'm looking for £750 ono. The wheels and DAB radio are worth that alone! 1

MatAR Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Extremely interested in this, my own V8 Allroad import is currently off the road. No haggling on the price, if the original wheels and tyres are included? I can collect easily coming on the train one weekend. kind regards Mat
MatAR Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Hi Richard, I’ve confirmed that the train journey is easy enough, to Salisbury. If you have any interior shots that would be great. I miss mine even though it’s a second car. kind regards Mat
MatAR Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 I’m assuming this has been sold off site? A real shame, it would have been outside my house this weekend.
Richard Glover Posted June 27, 2023 Author Posted June 27, 2023 Hi Mat, No, I haven't sold it. I only saw your first message this morning & have been at a funeral all day! That great you are interested in having it. Original wheels & tyres are included, although I think the 16" ones give a more comfortable ride! All the other gear listed is also included. I can put some interior shots on tomorrow afternoon. When were you thinking of coming over to Salisbury? Kind regards Richard
MatAR Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Hi Richard, No problem at all I was just sad I’d possibly missed it! I always wanted to try 16s on mine for the winter so it will be good to have both. I changed plans this weekend as I was not sure of the situation. However, I can be in Salisbury by train on the morning of Sunday the 16th if that works for you? As I said £750 without haggling on my part. I can just bring cash on the day. Thanks again, the photos will be much appreciated. I’m a man of my word. Kind regards Mat
MatAR Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 My thoughts exactly, so I’m collecting it on the 23rd 👍

MatAR Posted July 1, 2023 Posted July 1, 2023 Certainly will. I may be the only person with two V8 Allroads? Looking forward to it. My black one has a lot of potential but is currently getting some suspension attention, nothing new there. It’s a very rare spec too. Neither will be my daily, but the blue one I’m planning on using one day a week to keep the miles down on my SQ5.

Magnet Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Many thanks Kev, Seems Mat didn’t buy it then, and Richard has taken on board my view that it was indeed worth more than the £750 being asked, and it turns out that the quick ‘disposal price’ has already been exceeded. What happened then Mat? Kind regards, Gareth. 1

Richard Glover Posted August 1, 2023 Author Posted August 1, 2023 Rather disappointed at lack of action on this site. It's now on eBay, auction ends Sat 5 August 15:16. How do I cancel this listing please. Richard
Magnet Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 Hello Richard, I’m disappointed that you are disappointed with the forum response. As you know, I sent you a PM saying that I thought you were ‘underselling’ this car at your asking price, and suggested you would be better off listing it on eBay. You declined this suggestion, and said you would prefer it to go to an enthusiast, and the money wasn’t important. Unfortunately, I’m not privy to the outcome of the initial interested reaction on here, so cannot comment, but it’s interesting to hear that you did subsequently follow my advice and list it on eBay - and by what I understand, it is indeed realising more (much?) than what I suggested was your under-selling price. I’m pleased for you, but remain displeased with your view that the forum disappointed you. Having said all that, I trust you will now be satisfied with the eventual outcome, and I rest happy that although it did not sell on here, you will be successful with following advice offered via. the forum. Many thanks and kind regards, Gareth.
