Looks pretty tidy. New chassis required? No details about the car's condition...

Didn't sell on ebay for £10k a few times...

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122174716844

And this in sept...

Either a scam or no one wants it so they've chopped the price. I'll guess scam for £4k.

Perhaps it's been scrutinized and has now been knocked down to it's true value.

Scam. My old chim add was hijacked after I sold it and appeared on PH at a very reduced price.

A most obvious scam.

From the description the car is worth the best part of £13 - 14k at a dealer, so why on earth would anyone sell it for £4K?

There must be enough fools who fall for these adverts to make it worth these scammers to keep baiting them.

It is quite well written to sound like an enthusiast apart from the mistakes like 4pot brakes and the 'I know the engineers who designed the engine'.
