My MX5 was a product of drunken bidding, its not necessarily a bad thing.

Bidding bots upped it in the last second. Not sure whether to be relieved or disapointed tongue out

This was the car:

I bought the rustiest Lancia Fulvia (with 12 months MOT!!) blind off ebay for £800 a few years ago.....and, unlike so many, I honoured the deal.....I still remember the call from my wife "Your car, has arrived...." "Whats it like?" i asked. "You best see for yourself" she replied. Gulp. Never again. Car is in Hong Kong where it was happily received by its new owner!

Why?????? His descriptions look honest and straight forward. Better to move these cars on than leave them to rot as all the others in another thread on here.
