Enjoy, you'll love it.

You can't stall with SMG.

It's done 50,000 with recent inspection 2, new disks and pads needs the front bumper painting but other than that all seams well.

Can't wait to pick it up.

Nice one mate; welcome to the fray!

Thanks for the replies

Had it check over by Munich Legends on Wednesday, few things they've spotted including

1 snapped rear spring
play in diff, might want swapping but I'll see how I get on.
A/C belt frayed
one door surround will need replacing soon
boot release works intermittently
Clip missing on battery cover
strap on fuel flap broken
exhaust flange needs welding
stone chips on front bumper
few minor scratches on the front bumper carbon trims.

Did mention that the engine is slightly noisier than others they've had in but didn't seam to thing it was anything which would cause a problem.

Overall said that it drove well and had all of the appropriate software updates and traceable history. Knocked a bit off incase I need to buy a diff, so I'm picking it up first thing tomorrow morning.

A few jobs to crack on with over the next couple of weekends to get it up to scratch.
