It's a classic LOL this car

The heat will escape easily though due to rear end displacement!

Why doesn't ebay delete this one?? The first time they withdrew the ad, but this time they keep ignoring my messages mad
Does anybody know how to convince ebay to take it down? As an owner of an old Volvo P1800 I feel like I have a responsibility... Could be my car that gets nicked and the sold on with this new identity... *touchwood*

The sole purpose of this is to clone a stolen car. If it would really be a collectible item, I'd buy it at €100 just to make sure no one can do anything illegal with it. But at this price the intentions are very clear, imo!

If eBay are playing hardball just pint out they they are aiding and abetting or accessories to the theft of a motor vehicle if their site is the source of the new identity.

That tends to work.

1992 shell and parts.
1990's Vauxhall Nova engine (from Sheffield so place your bets if it's legit').
Ringing kit from a 1969 Mini for classic (therefore cheap) insurance and tax exemption (evasion).

Ask the seller a question...

"Good afternoon.

I realise the car is a ringer. A 1992 shell with the identity from a 1969 stuck to it for cheap insurance and tax exemption but what does the log book for what it's worth say the engine size is?

If the engine swap has been declared legally I may be able to break the car for parts so long as the 1992 car and 1990's Nova donor aren't stolen.

All the best LK"

Welcome to the thread. The purpose of this is for fellow forum members to report criminal listings like these to eBay in the hope they will be removed before someone's pride and joy is stolen and the identities sold are used to ring them.

All of the above have been reported to eBay and where available information passed on to the Police Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service.
