a vehicle for sale i have viewed......and travelled a distance to view, to discover its rusty front wing and absolutely soaking inside, after i noticed it being towed by a transit down the road, and finding it in a service station with two chaps desperately trying to use all the blue roll to get the mould out!? it was in derby when i went to look, "sorry chief it wont start"(quite shocked as we pulled up behind in the expected trade in) , "mate, you can stick it, its rusty and wet you timewasting c##ts" was my reply. it was advertised as mint and immaculate, photos can hide soo much! it was up at 3k and its not dropped much....

true, the new clutch in 100 miles made me sigh with relief as we saw some rotters over a 2 month period!

question sent...

hi, i recently viewed this very vehicle in derby. can you confirm it is now running?(we last saw it being towed by a scabby transit in a vain attempt to jump it,its a diesel doh!), rust on wing has been sorted?(especially the n/s front corner had a particularly bad case of tin worm, stevie wonder may have mixed the paint?). also, has the interior dried out? it resembled a poor james bond lotus elite when i saw it! i did not enjoy my wasted time and hope the bull sh#t has been taken out this time? also, the mot date has changed? why?

wow, it does read well, even the pics look good...just goes to show!!!

with cars like this, at this sort of price, one would be wise to take an expert when viewing.

Are you sure this is the same car and not a clone?

mileage and everything else is the same, apart from the sellers ID(and the mot date). it could be a different vehicle using the same plates? it is defo the same advert we went to look at.

this one looks like it would be good if the mould and moss were removed from round windows and wheel arches, seats are torn.....
