Stunning ebay Mini
Discussion

The fact that the seller is, indeed, a complete ladypart is confirmed by their use of 'ur' instead of 'your' in the advert.
As well as a possible world record for the number of spelling errors and txt spk entries.Poor car, it should have stud in that barn for longer ....
Someone decipher this

What does the word "ov" mean? Its used frequently. Possibly some sort of code? The roman numeral IV is also used, but in a bizarre context.
Nope, translation not possible.
So he bought it a few months back, spent apparently an awful lot of time and money on it and now wants to sell it on.
Sounds to me like the effect of what ever strong hallucinogenic drug he was on has now worn off.
Can't believe it is listed as if it came out of the factory like this.
Some people are too odd for words.

i saw this car when it was in the barn, surrounded by a 100 or more (in various barns, outhouses, trees, tarps etc etc) other 'quality' cars
it was utter rubbish and covered in about 3" of bird crap.
the guy who owned it would buy a car, get bored, buy another car, get bored - repeat for ever.
from memory, this particular beauty shared a barn with a mk3 escort 1600 (which wasnt so bad, apart from the owner had left the windows open so it was full of chicken s
t)
there must have been about 30-40 minis on the site - eventually they where sold for £400 the lot (i dont know if this one was included in the bulk buy)
even stranger, was the sellers obsession with Armstong Siddley Stars - there was probably about 20 of them in various states parked up.
the seller was like Jesse from the fast show (apart from he had a cut class accent - very posh guy but nuts) - we gave up on him in the end as he just talked in riddles and everything was (when we asked) telephone money

Is that an MG front end? It looks like an Eastern Bloc designer was trawling round for inspiration one day and came across a photo of a duck billed platapus.
Looks like it's trying to be a Datsun 240Z to me. I think I've seen it all now, someone trying to make a Mini look like a Datsun...

Clearly a quality product. I really would aspire to having that on my drive. Oh how the neighbors would be jealous. But really, what is so bad about not having a normal run of the mill Mini? At least with a Mini, no matter what model it wouldnt look out of place on anyones drive in any location.
Looking at his other items. Im quite tempted with his 4inch big bore and aynsley tea set. All my christmas shopping done!
