I won't be in the country where the car is located until May or June. This isnt the first time I have tried to get this car - I just have not been able to strike a deal I can afford or am willing to pay. Although I have faith in the people who claim the car is a real A12, this will be the first time I have verified it. I'm prepared to step up my offer this year so I need to be 100% sure of the cars build.

I very much appreciate the helpful hints that everyone has given me, and I hope to eventually follow up.
