I've seen many incorrect ads but one wonders how hard it can be to describe seats - or rather to describe them incorrectly three times !

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

"Leather Seats, Sports Seats, 4 seats"

CLOTH seats
Standard seats
3 seats

FFS !

I'm 99.9% sure it's not a 4x4 either

WOW!1 sentence to describe the car and at least 50% wrong.

The rest of the ad is telling you how you can trust them... Pah!!

Although, they can't be FSA regulated anymore......

I never did find the eectric rear windows, glass sun roof and trip computer and rear wash/wipe on my first MGF.

The Autotrader ad said it was so equipped.

I know some are 4WD - I've owned one that was but I don't think that one is - too low, no decals and IIRC there should be an old fashioned lever on the floor.

It works both ways. The AT ad for my latest purchase didn't mention the built-in satnav or the multi-way adjustable electric seats, options worth several grand.
