I'm not even (maybe naively?) in the slightest bit concerned as I doubt none of the big companies are likely to run off with my car!
Lets hope I'm not sat here in 2 days with no money, no car and.....no chance of getting the SLS

Andrew,
Thanks for the reply, you are a braver man than me !
The reason I asked was that since the recent changes to Banking Laws, I assumed the process would go as follows.
Car checked over - offer confirmed - money transfered - drink a couple of coffees - ring your bank - check money is in account - hand over keys - the end.
I regularly transfer money between accounts (UK & Europe), and it takes under two hours, just a regular transfer, not express service. The blurb says,
Your funds can take up to 2 hours to appear in your bank account., in fact it can only take a few minutes.
I thought the whole idea of the new laws was to stop the banks holding onto customer's money, earning themselves interest for a few days, before finally transferring to the destination account.
Hope it all happens on time !
Michael.
