Worth more down south.

For a lot of people it is at the arse end of the world, (I can say that as I have relatives living up there!).

About 350 miles for me!

To be honest with you, if it was nearer I’d go and look at it myself! Nothing like a spare.

A very nice project for someone even if it did need some chassis work ( not that I’m saying it does )

Nice genuine looking car

As I suspected, but I just HAD to confirm:

Hello,
The car is still for sale. It seems to be a problem with eBay messages, I can t see your message only that you wrote me. If you need details you can contact me via email: maburr-54@vpmail.co.uk

I suspect this is often a data trawl for potential 'mug' list. You have to provide a phone number to ask a seller a question on ebay so I used an old number I don't use any more. smile

Feel free to send such a 'scammer' a message......mad
