Yeah got the free WU intro offer which saved me approx £12 if I'd gone via First Direct. That will pay for a few holiday gelatos

I have no idea what this car was up for but given their prices I am thinking a fair old wad so condition, history and mileage were/are all factors to consider especially if you see a Plus/LE as an 'investment', personally I see no real world advantage in purchasing a Plus or LE and never have, I would not pay a premium for such, but then my Coupe is a 'daily' (1500miles a year) not a Garage Queen; A 200K mile 'daily' is significant mileage to put on a Coupe, apart from running gear/engine we all know that the common rust issues cause the most problems/££££s, That said I am ignorant of service/maintenence of this example; it certainly looked nice when I had a quick look round it and belied the mileage upon it..

You can tell it's spring round here when all the old DDR cars come out of hibernation. Trabis are easy, but some of the others can take some finding out to see what they are.

All very shiny, though, probably not what they were like back in the day... although, there's an old joke concerning a chap who goes to the ministry of cars and tells them he's been saving up for years, and can he please have a Trabi? And the ministry man checks over his bank account and his secret police record and decides, well, you've been a good comrade, of course you can. Delivery will be in ten years.
Excellent, says our hero, in the morning or the afternoon?
In ten years, says the ministry man, what do you care?
Well, in the morning, the plumber is coming...

I paid direct from my German bank - which isn't helpful to anyone else of course , but I pay me from my UK bank account (Barclays) simply as a 'pay overseas' transfer - just needs an IBAN number and an account name. No fee when you do it but the transfer is a couple of percent below the current BOE exchange rate, as it is for all the money transfer companies.

Thanks all - now paid via WU

I did the same.

Well funny you say that but when I took my coupe out for its first run of the year I past an early Golf GTi and the driver gave a wave. I think there's a recognition between owners keeping the old metal alive

Was down in your neck of the woods last week ED for a family meet up and rented a place near Spilsby. Spent some time looking at the haunts my dad and brother frequented when in the RAF during the war. IBCC outside Lincoln was a well thought out and poignant recognition to those who served in Bomber Command

The “What to pay” section shows how wildly the prices can vary. There doesn’t seem to be a market consensus on what they’re worth yet.

Joe or Simon, please add me as booked in to the Borgaro Torinese. I did add myself a few posts back but I have since dropped off the list.

I've registered myself+1 for Fri to Mon on the event website and sent payment etc so I'm expecting / hoping that shows up on the site shorty.

1 M and 1 XL if possible, thanks Simon

Right, as it stands the T shirt (sic) is for driver only, but it will be possible to buy one at the Sparco shop (with a dedicated discount) on the Friday or Monday morning.

The organisers are meeting this evening and it will be discussed to see if more T shirts can be procured but they are not hopeful. We'll keep you posted of any latest developments.
