Hmmm, Haywards Heath isn't in Hampshire, could be a scam

Love the ad'!

"It has covered just 144,000 miles over its 23-year life.

"It has 13 months MOT to give the next owner total peace of mind."

All that for just £3,750. I note the seller is confused about where he's based - Haywards Heath is a couple of counties to the right of Hampshire.

Just got some more pics and info off the seller, the car looks amazing, really good nick and unmolested.

However the chap says that he hasn't had the V5 updated to his name.... Reason being he has another SEC which this car was going to replace, BUT he got his original car sorted so never drove this one...

I'm interested in the car as it loooks very smart and i have a soft spot for them, however if it's not in his name then it's a little off putting...

Does the previous owner (on the V5) live near by? Perhaps they can vouch for the story?

I have asked the chap for the previous owners details to do this, if it does turn out to be above board i'm increasingly leaning to the old barge....this weeks SOTW hasn't helped wink
