Aside from the truly appalling use of English.... this is an "L" plated hatchback. There can't be many of these around?

Given the utter lack of confidence in the seller, due to their poor command of language, does anyone think it will make whatever it's reserve is? It has to be at least £50 (that's the minimum you can place a reserve for)

Given that the photo shows the front up, but the rear down, and the bonnet not closed, I doubt many people are going to be interested.

It's got some damage too - the front bumper's hanging off on it's o/s and the door rubber's detatched - I wouldn't even touch it with yours - as they say

Jesus wept.

I am the first to admit my spelling is crap - a fact I blame on a couple of factors, the first beig taught ITA at school untill the tender age of 7, then being told that it was wrong and they tried to teach me to spell propper like. The second is that I suffer from fat fingers syndrome when typing. And thirdly I spent many years in Chorley - so many I have gone native in my speech and writing!

But this item description takes it to a whole new level! I must do an ebay description in ITA sometime....

Its a late model and has a decent shine, would make a good donor as I expect the shell is ok?

Probably originally a fleet car as most of the bx diesels were, best selling diesel fleet car for years.

Could be a cross between textspeak and predictive text.
