This was O'Cahan's car. He sold it on about this time last year IIRC. It won the best classic at Scoobfest 2008.

will not name the person but he went to see the car and quoted;
i'll save you a journey it has seen a lot of bad paint on the passenger side and something doesnt look right on the front of it either, its had a different owner since it was awarded best classic and was apparently bought for track use, it should not be advertised as "MINT" its very misleading and especially if someone travelled quite a distance to see it, the car does not belong to j hair motors and its obvious if the car was that good it would have been sold already through a private sale with the current owner.

If the above is correct the car has had a hard life since Simon owned it! I suppose a 12 year old performance car will have imperfections. I imported this car originally and although I wouldnt have described it as "mint" it was in very good condition. Simon did have some remedial paintwork carried out to take it to show standard (successfully).

I was down at J Hair motors on Saturday for a look (dont tell my wife!!!) - this car was nowhere to be seen, neither was the DB9 or the RS Focus advertised on the company's website.
