Middlebridge 42
The current owner of this lovely car bought it after a chance conversation with a friend who advised him to visit a place near Buxton that had Scimitars parked everywhere. 'Denpart' was the place.
On arrival at Denpart one bright saturday morning and just to the left of the Petrol Station was a Stunning Metalic Blue Scimitar in my favourite colour, it was love at first site. The doors were not locked so I sat in her and that sealed it. A young man appeared and asked if I would like to buy the car, I of course said yes, then the saga unfolded and only the day before the funeral had taken place of his Boss and owner of Denpart Paul Dennison.
I was briefly introduced to Mrs Dennison and then negotiated directly with the cars Solicitor owner who had returned it to Denpart to sell on his behalf , we quickly negotiated a deal and within hours I had her whisked away on a transporter before anyone had a change of heart.
I have since had the gearbox reconditioned by Carvers Denton, Manchester and fitted by Scimitar Guru's High Peak Classics in Buxton who also brought the car back to life following her time spent unloved out in the elements at Denpart.
