Excellent news.
I really hope you get a positive response.
I guess that, even if the current owner isn't particularly looking to sell, everyone has their price so you may be able to tempt them.
You're obviously keen to get it so I'm wondering if its worth writing a letter personally and asking the mot garage to pass that on to the current owner, rather than relying on the garage folk to pass on a more general enquiry .....?

Good luck.

That is a good shout! I will wait for a couple of weeks to see if I hear anything and then go down that route.

I've spoken to them on the phone and also followed up with an email. I am aware they're not obligated to pass on a message so I don't want to seem too pushy for them to then not want to help (if you see what I mean). It's a fine line

They are probably busy so I want to kerb my excitement and be (a little) patient. It has taken this long so what is another couple of weeks?
