Im a part-time car trader among other things and was at an Auction in Edinburgh 2day. To my surprise i saw a 05 54 Plate RRS Supercharged in silver, had to rub my eyes a few times .

However my day was to get much stranger, i bought a few cars then disapeared for a meeting with a client. I had arranged to bid on the car over the phone with the branch manager whilst on the way to my meeting.

45 mins later i got a call to say the car was due in 10mins and to make myself available. 10 mins later i got a call and the car was up next.

This went on until 33250 when i got involved and bid the car up to 34250, then DISASTER i got cut off............

I called back but the car SOLD at £34,500........... GUTTED......... 03 X5 3.0 Sport
