Like Merv has said a little bigger than butterflies, but no need in the end the car is in outstanding condition and even better than I thought.

Having driven the car back from Leeds to Leominster I must say how well the car drove, the exterior and interior are in outstanding condition for an 11 year old car.

It ate up the miles with no hassles at all, it pulled well and cruised along easily.

I'd happily recommend Tom @ Brave Auto UK to anyone, nothing was too much trouble including the last minute fitment of an alarm for me. Tom even sent me a text asking what tyre pressures I'd like, plus he followed me to the Shell station to make sure I was on the right road.

I'm very happy indeed with the car and the service I received from Tom.

Pics to follow.

Well I can personally vouch for just how good the condition is,for its age it's very very good!
All par the front bumper and one rear quarter small repair is original paint and still of great condition.
The engine bay is outstanding with not one sign of oil leakage and the manifold isn't peeling etc.
All in all I'd say it's been a very well looked after car and as I told Ty,he landed on his feet with this one that's for sure.

It compares very well to both my previous S202 and the Spec C, it's in better condition than both the two previous cars.

That doesn't mean that they were sheds or fit for the scrapper it's just that for it's age this car is really in outstanding condition, both Ryan and his work mate Jeff rather their critical eyes over the car and were very impressed by it's condition.

Thanks Ryan, it's in even better condition than the initial photographs portray - this car has been looked after meticulously by the previous Japanese owner.

It looks like it really hasn't wanted for anything.

As you can see above the engine bay is like it just left the factory, there are a couple of minor issues which will be addressed but apart from them it's really in outstanding condition for an 11 year old car.

All in good time, in fact within about 2 minutes of you posting.

Thanks, it's not looking it's best in the pics with all the road grime it got covered in on the trip down from Leeds, but given that it was raining I wasn't going to hand wash and dry it but the thought did occur to me.

Does this mean I am becoming one of the yellow microfibre cloth up the exhaust brigade?

As long as I don't become an OCD cleaner I will be happy.
