Beautiful to drive, An appreciating classic car and rare stunning sight to see on the roads especially in this condition.
Serious buyers only thanks! "
Showing 144,000 Miles - Questionable..??
Went to view it with a mate - guy was selling it from Wheel Doctor in Scunthorpe. Said it had 3 owners.. We got there and it had 5 previous on the logbook..!
The seller IMO is a liar and described the car completely different to what it actually was.
States lots of service history and all he had was 1 Logbook 1 MOT and 1 Receipts for that MOT
Drivers bolster was ripped and covered with Tape..!! (read the ad)
The whole car had RECENTLY been painted with all the black trimmings being colour coded even the number plate surround was white.. POOR paintwork ALL OVER the car with fish bubbles in the paint all over, overspray on the arch liners had a stock 1.6 16v exhaust aftermarket white alloys that were too big an offset and stuck out a fair bit.. Had it running for 10 seconds or so and then walked away..
Reason for the post - well just be sure to ask all the details before you travel as he said he had lots of other people wanting to view.
Oh and it showed up on Hpi as having a Mileage Discrepency...
