OK... Abit of a story.
Just spoke to the boy on the phone. Offered him 6K. However, it's not HPI clear. He was on holiday and the car was nicked. They then found the car in a lock up. His insurance company paid a cheq for the missing car, but car was found and cheq was cancelled. However, Insurance company will not take it off the HPI, but he is currently fighting with them for them to take it off..... Interesting.....
