Hmmmm, indeed.

Very strange.

Perhaps that's called reverse sales jargon.

A very unusual piece of sales patter I must say.
Perhaps this generation of car is so well thought of, you can write any old tosh and it will sell. Imagine if it had said that the car had been lavishly appointed when ordered, and during its ownership the current owner had spared no expense in the maintainence of the car
People might show up to bid.....
Have they described others in a similar way ?

not sure it is the kind of description I'd look for in a classified ad, but it is certainly honest!

Maybe the auction house is playing the 'look how much has been spent' card...badly?

I'm struggling to understand why this is in a classic car auction. I'm likewise struggling to understand why anyone would entertain that considering the appalling evidence of questionable build quality.
