It so happens my next-door neighbor is a car collector and a huge fan of Mark VIIs, so I offered it to him on the condition that he would give me first dibs if he ever decided to sell it. During these past two years, my neighbor has tinkered with the car, changed all the fluids, waxed and polished the car and generally treated it like one of his kids. He has taken it to car shows all over our area and the car always got lots of positive attention. Recently he decided that his collection has gotten too large and offered the car back to me. It is an even nicer and better car than the all-original gem I sold him two years ago. It is an original paint car with no modifications.
