So you won't be doing Christmas cards with the guy this year!!

It's nigh on impossible to find one that age that isn't rotten.


Guess the vendor used some of this...

If he had posted it as in need of attention that would have been fine.

The tw t said it was perfect when i spoke to him.

Thats why i'm so pi55ed off.

There are few about that are mint condition.

I will just have to get one of those.

Sorry to hear that, Jay, it looked lovely in the pictures too!

There's nothing more annoying then when someone does that, especially not when it's a significant distance away.

When we bought one of our P38's it was in Southport and was advertised as having failed it's mot on emissions, my thoughts were to drive it home to a pre booked mot and go from there. The seller however became quite coy and wasn't up for that idea so drove down to see it as something wasn't right. Turned out it was running on 4 cylinders and was as rough as a badgers arse. Luckily we renegotiated a price we were both happy at and got it home. Turned out it needed two new lambda sensors and its been great since.

The other was in Manchester and was much better then described. It really is hit and miss with eBay and sellers descriptions unfortunately.

Are you looking for another one? Keep an eye out for a good soft dash model LSE. They were nice cars and are very rare these days.

If you see any up here and would like me to take a look, give us a shout

This one looks quite nice:

Is that a dent or reflection on the rear quarter?

Steering wheel is aftermarket I think and rear parcel shelf shouldn't have speakers in it.

Thanks David for the offer thats very kind of you.

Yes i wasn't best pleased when i turned up and opened the rear doors. Its full of rot. The cheeky B has relisted it with not one of the points i had told him about.

The only good thing he has refunded my deposit tonight.

I noticed it'd been relisted.

He's also got sold written all over it in red now. It's one thing to say he's not noticed it but to sell it again without telling anyone after you've pointed it out is just deceitful.

Hopefully the new buyer realises before he's paid the guy.

Thats the only thing with Ebay. There are to many to ers selling cars they know nothing about.
I will keep hunting for the right one. I will be looking for the soft dash classic i think. the only problem is they nearly all have big miles. i'm looking for 80k tops.

No I didn't sorry.

Is it a fair assessment

This is your first post so i'm a sceptical to offer any info on the car sorry.

When you get to five posts on the forum you can Pm.

Feel free to do so when you reach this amount.

Sorry to be negative but you could be the seller.

"you could be the seller"

Yes that is true, but if I am ( I am not by the way) how does it matter, compared to you saying "it's full of rust"?

All I am asking is your opinion on a more specific basis.

I'm explicitly not asking you to badmouth the car just provide your opinion!

If you are not happy to do that in open forum just pm me (cos I can't) - then even if I am the seller it don't matter

I would appreciate to know though

Thanks

And if not that's 3/5 posts!
