A kind of offer

Last weekend I had parked the Daimler in a local market town.  It was left outside of a pub for about an hour whilst we went to the bank, shopping etc.  When we got back a chap stopped me, admired the car and asked me what I wanted to sell him the car.  I suggested a price which was a few £thousand more than I would expect to get for it.  He continued to call me for a few days and then promised to ring with his best offer.  Of course he did not ring. 

It was a useful experience as it confirmed to me that I wanted to keep the car rather than make a few pounds.
