New D3 - Bobs is a legend

So I picked up my new D3 last week, lucky to have been in the right place at the right time to do a deal with Bobs to buy his.

What a legend that guy is!! Nicest person I've ever purchased a car off.

Just need to look after it like he did now!!

It was CY's uncles car from new. I bought it from his uncle and sold it to Bobs so you can trace it right back. There was a massive file of receipts for everything that was done to the car.

Disco_Mikey did loads of servicing for me and some minor upgrades however the D4 upgrade was all bobs work.

It's still looking great for a 12 year old car Thumbs Up Defender 90 CSW MY06
