^^^^ No not your (the one in the link) car.  :happy2:

Apart from the previous damage making it a Cat D it looks like a good car,. Got a few extras too, the original MDF2 Sat Nav, Highline display and a MFSW. All the OEM Edition30 parts are there. Happy days!!

Even with such low miles, check the Cambelt/Waterpump have been changed, should have been done in March 2011 on your 07 reg car as its EITHER every 4 years or 60k miles. Hopefully it's been noted in your log book.
