Hello

Late to the thread ... I have done 4000 miles in 3 years, the 3rd year not many ... hence why it may go :cry:

Thanks for the feedback guys, the only other thing i noticed was that the gap between the bonnet and panel just behind the front wheels wasnt the same on both sides. The dealer said this is common and quite normal though due to being hand built...

That's a new one. What garbage - :lol:
Might be bonnet mis-aligned or not closed properly (using correct procedure).

No reply from COPART on why they had it or Paragon Fleet Solutions on who they leased it to first. Not expecting a reply. They have never acknowledged anything previously.

I looked at a few before the one I bought, all had front end "issues", bad alignment, noticeable respray work, the one I bought all lines up properly.

The bonnet alignment thing can be an issue. Looking at the manual on how to shut the bonnet, standing in front of car & using 2 hands spread apart & gently pushing. Look at any you-tube video of the press driving one. Bonnet up & slam from the side with one hand. A bit naughty especially with such a large Aluminium lump.

It's the 1 thing the dealer did show me, 2 hands just where the bonnet vents are and even pressure both sides.
