Thanks for the advice guys.
Quick update..
I have been speaking to the owner today, seems like a nice chap I've arranged a viewing for tommrow 2pm, I wanted to view the car before I place a bid.
I've already done a HPI check comes up clear minus the private reg and colour change which the owner has stated his informed DVLA
A freind of mine who imports cars from Japan to Scotland has actually done a VX check for me on the car , it was imported into the country in 2006 as a grade 3.5 - millage coming into the country was 158KM
Colour change doesnt bother me too much tbh as I prefer the grey over the silver. Usually I shy away from cars which havent been painted in the original colour but the contrast on this isnt to bad his informed me all the door shuts were painted, only things that are still silver are the bay and inside.
As long as the car is solid rust wise which the owner has informed me it is and the mechanical side is good I am going to place a bid or try and strike a deal when I am there.
The owner has mentioned he took this in as a P/X against his R8, the car was originally from York own by a TVR restoration company SD AUTOTEC anyone heard of then?
Plans ...
Manual conversion - Single turbo. BIG POWER.
I already own a Auto TT which I use that as a daily, if I get this it will be a project high BHP car.
