Afternoon good Sirs,
I did manage to get in touch with the previous owner, though through no fault of his own, did not manage to get the details for the buyer.
Sabrg45,
I thank you for taking the time to respond; it is one of the reasons why forums seem to get ever popular. Based on what you have said, this Giallo coloured 3200 is probably not the car for me. I also enquired about the amount of Yellow cars on Pistonheads; I have since only found one other car; this also being one that started life as a Track Experience car.
If my quest for a 3200 has taught me anything, it is that it would be ill advised to focus my search on cars that fit my rigid and particular colour/trim requirements. Rather, my search now focuses primarily on the overall condition.
For me, the purchase of a 3200 would be a long term ownership proposition (and make me the youngest 3200 owner?); in fact, I aim to never sell any of my ‘weekend cars’. The 3200 is just one of many cars which I aim to accumulate over time; as a result I require the bodywork, and maintenance record to be in exceptional order.
My searching experience has thrown a few problems at me; mostly concerning the owners of such cars. Let me explain: I hate to paint all the sellers with the same brush, and it is not my intention to do so, but so far it seems everyone is the owner of “the very best 3200” and the car has had “no expense spared”. As a result, owner’s valuations seem to be far too unrealistic; some dealerships seem to price their cars better. Thankfully, I have had some better luck from members on this forum, and for that, I thank them.
Best,
Ram K
