Well, I've had a call from the DEKRA chap, the inspection is complete.
The bodywork is mostly in a good condition, a few chips/scratches that have been filled in that I didn't spot.
He mentioned a couple of things that may need sorting in the next 6months, air conditioning to be recharged, maybe get the tracking checked as there is slight wear visible on one wheel. Also he spotted some excess oil underneath but he think this may be attributable to a loose sump plug (I'm not a mechanic btw so I'm just quoting verbatim, I'm waiting for the report to arrive in email), but recommends I get s2000-4U to check this out tomorrow.
Getting the DEKRA inspection is certainly something I'd recommend to anyone, seems like a no-brainer if you're not a mechanic.
I'll put a bit more detail in here when I get the report through, see if anyone can spot anything that looks serious. It looks like I'm just about set to bite the bullet though.

I found his term 'Rev.2' decidedly stinky but assumed he had taken it from the website :)
Good luck with the purchase.

If anyone purchases a Royal Navy Blue PX53 GYU from them, ask where the hard top is if it's not volunteered as being included.

Good to hear.
Do you have a number for DEKRA? What do they charge for a check?

When I bought my 'S' from Sean, I did so without having seen this thread. As soon as I saw it, I immediately got on the blower to DEKRA and had the check done......
