Thanks for posting that. That is actually the second video, the first was of me on the computer on the lead up to and winning the auction! As far as I am aware though PH rules still preclude me from putting up links of my own videos, so I won't risk it.

Still unsure of when I will actually get hold of the InfluEnzo because of current restrictions on movement.

Incidentally I just found out that the new engine I recently installed on my Frogeye is fked, low compression in one cylinder. So it's a good job I've bought something trouble free and reliable to replace it till I can get that sorted out

I bought flour yesterday for 50p.

I also bought an Alfa 147 for £500!

Be honest, it was £510, or did you negotiate a 'discount.'

Why would you buy this when you could have a 1.5 Ford kuga suv

[clive_candy]

Yes, yes and yes again!

The MOT history is "interesting" (note the mileage between 2007 and 2008)

Good spot.

Also the frequent switches between km and miles.

Very nice, is it metal or fibreglass?!

I may be wrong but deep chin spoiler = metal, ie a later car

Also - does fibreglass come as a targa?

Aware of all that. Mileage will have been a misread from MoT tester.. no point in rolling it back by 200 kms or so. Also the switch between miles and KM will just be individual testers not always realising the odometer is in Km and sometimes recording as miles which is what they are used to. the rest of MOT history is ‘interesting’ but nothing hugely worrying in there. Ultimately when I get of it I’ll be able to tell for sure. As mentioned there are videos on my channel that explain this.. someone out a link in another previous post. I don’t think I’m allowed to.

Just watched both 308 videos. Enjoyed them alot.

Subbed. I'm on board with you for this.

I imagine there are a few people that are considering some online car purchases through boredom, well done!

Have I misunderstood something? The odd bit is not a 200km difference, it's the change from 96,182 miles in 2007 to 3,345 miles in 2008. Sorry if I've missed an explanation already. Good luck with it anyway!

I'll bet there's only 5 digits on the mileage and it's gone around the clock. (Younguns...phfft.)

Yes it’s an old Ferrari, clock only goes up to 100k kms...so it’s rolled over and now reads 28k kms.
