Want a turbo powered 7 next year

But for the moment I've just had an operation which means driving this for any longer than 10 mins is very painful, so just thought better to sell than leave it in garage
And buy something else next year once I've healed

Hi sorry the car is being collected this weekend the original buyer had some personal issues which have now been resolved and wishes to continue with deal
He had already paid the deposit
So unless something changes between now and then the car is sold
