Thats what I think...viewings were welcomed and a couple of people did come to view/listen/look etc...

I have had experiances before where people have won an auction then come and viewed the car and complained about this and that and tried offering me less money etc..... which is why I didn't let him listen to the car first ... and the fact I didn't have time [I had already agreed to go to the post office with him to tax the car and was pushed for time as it was]

[Bear in mind the car was on the drive so he did look around it - could see it was as described etc...]

Ah well......I learn next time and just accept the winning bidder will expect to fully inspect the car when he turns up.
