Thank you Phil for your kind endorsement. Nobody within 150 miles to do an
independent inspection, oddly the prospective buyer has not brought that up.
Of course he has seen many before and after pictures.
I consulted a friend this afternoon who has sold cars into England and he
states that he was always paid up front via wire transfer, which is best for
everyone's record keeping.
Have not closed the sale as yet, but getting close.
Thanks,
Bill

You already know how I handled my Lotus purchase, but Europe is a whole
nother kettle of fish.
I know how cashier checks work here in the USA, and I know how not to be
afraid of them, but internationally moving money is something totally
(pardon the pun) foreign to me.
If your buyer is reading this, I will attest to the high quality of the work
you have done to the car, having seen it before and after. There is a
probably a well-known car-inspection outfit in your part of Texas.
