Of the 172 and Trophy I not only bought them for the car but that I liked the look of the previous owners. Both were middle aged decent looking gents. Made me think they'd have looked after it and not scrimped or pulling a fast one. If I wasn't happy with them I may have considered walking away.
Saying this, the Williams I bought was bought off a f**king pikey. Dodgy as f**k. Turned up to his house (already seen the car etc) to buy it and it had a wheel clamp on it and the area and house was close to what I imagined Hiroshima looked like post bombing. f**king awful. Car turned out ok though which makes above look a bit silly. Looking back and what I'd consider now I wouldn't have bought it.
Both the 172's I've bought were from really nice guys who were car enthusiasts.
The only car I bought from someone who clearly wasn't an enthusiast and just a bit of a "boy" was my first car - 106 xsi. That was nothing but problems.
I really wouldnt mind a cup as had 1 before and love the colour and going to use it for a few track days etc etc i want to pay around 4k for 1 with below 60k and mitn with everything
