what you need is a real life David Brent

just bid on the car and if it doesn't match the description condition wise then you can walk away

This. Your protected by several rights and rules that eBay enforce. If its not as described and you find a single fault that isn't mentioned in the advert or e-mail communication with the seller then your entitled to walk away with no obligation to complete the sale.

There are a few niggles though, mostly rot behind one of those chrome arches which i'd like to see.

Also the rear screen has started to delaminate....txtbook sign of rear parcel shelf rot on these but the seller says there isn't any....struggling to believe that tbh.
