Maybe so ?
But, beware it was supposedly SOLD for £150 on the 27/03/12 and has now earned the E-Bay seller a (-1) feedback from the would be buyer !

No that does not look too good... Perhaps the seller tried to extract more money after completion of the sale.

Of course, might be that the 'buyer' is one of those idiots who thought he could drive home in it...

Odd that the price has gone up by £100 after a non-sale though. Curious.

I think it was up for £250 and the sale price was a best offer.

Personally, I'd only consider buying this after having a real good look at it in the flesh. If the seller is that sentimental about it, he should consider getting it MOT'ed and giving it a good send-off. I'd treat it with extreme caution.

I cannot remeber seeing a seller with a negative feedback profile (of -1)!

Although if he was a real crook I suppose he would register a new clean skin.[/quote]
