Even buses don't come round this often not round here anyway

That arse in the air attitude suggests badness of some sort (shot strut perhaps?)

2 Day's still to go with 16 bid's with current bid @ £360 !

Q: hi, is mileage 25k or 250k? do you have the missing side trims?
A: As pointed out in the description, the mileometer reading must be treated as incorrect.The mileage must be taken to be at least 125000.There are no side trims. Regards,Mike

The additional photo's which the seller has up-loaded now shows the close up of the O/S front wing (The one which you can see the inner wing and LHM tank) you can see the Blue paint lifting around one of the wing fixing bolts and two other spot's there's some Dark Red showing thro' !
This means it's had a donor wing at some time from being damaged and hence the small trim piece off the side is also missing if it wasn't transferred from the damaged one or bonded on correctly ?

But hey it's 18 years old, and should make a nice BX for someone !
So if it was a Forum member who put the question to the seller regarding the missing trim ?

No worries as I have a length from a Driver door which can be cut down to replace the short piece needed for the front wing and the rear lower wing / 'C' pillar section.

Mind you any diesel auto is rare, especially at that age.

Seems this one has re-appeared for some reason on E-BAY again !

But the very strange scenario is when you click onto the original LINK which the OP made (Simon B) it takes to the current listing, by further clicking onto the current sellers listing

Possibly a Link/ID with an E-Bay Seller to Buyer dispute 'Product ID: EPID80737003' ?

IMHO this is a very poor show by E-Bay (As they NEVER lose out on £'s) if this is the case, as it's seems that the current owner may of got 'skanked' by the seller . IIRC the previous seller was a motor trader in the south of England (Bournemouth possibly) ?

Also with my 'Copied E-Bay Sellers' quote from (Mike) the previous seller/owner the mileage is now tying in with the current listing of 250k !

The quote below is from the current listing:-

Q: Hi Steven,Richard again.Do you know what the damage was to get written off,are there any signs of repair etc?
A: hi richard, i don't know what the damage was, but even in 2006 it would have been beyond economic repair for almost any damage as the cars value would have been low even then. apart from o/s front wing and signs of light damage to n/s front door, and bonnet,i cant see anything obvious. as i said it must have been repaired well enough to satisfy mot requirements. regards steve.

Q: Hi, has the car been failed on a recent MOT test? If so what were the defects it failed on? Just trying to see whether the car is repairable or should be considered only for spare parts. Thanks
A: it's a long story, the car has'nt failed mot. i bought car on ebay in march for £670, instead of v5 being issued for car dvla said as the car had been an insurance write off in the past, before v5 could be granted the car must have a vic, vehicle identity check, which would cost £41 and to be carried out when they say at a special vic testing station. i investigated the cars history and found the previous owner had been told by their insurance company they would not pay for accident damage. but the owner had the work done themselve, and had the car mot'd , which passed every year since with no problem. it's only when the car changed ownership in march that dvla want to check that it is the same vehicle that was written off in 2006. i just can't be bothered with all that and want it gone. hope that explains. regards steve.

Q: Any chance of some pictures?What state is body and interior?Richard.
A: sorry not able to upload pics, problem with laptop. body has a few small dents, interior just needs good clean, not worn out. i wish i could be more helpful with pictures, but welcome to view, evenings and weekends.

Seems my original observations were 100% correct (As high-lighted in Red /\ ) which also ties in with Matt's quote as below:-

Bleeding hell, its upto £670....

All a bit weird

But the very strange scenario is when you click onto the original

Yes very strange - eBay seems to be messing about with its software again - some very unusual pages are coming up from time to time over the last week or so !

[richardd1652]

£63.09 was the sale price.I hope its not been bought by the scrap man!
Richard.

[electrokid]

I hope its not been bought by the scrap man!

Agreed - but to be honest its condition / provenance does leave something to be desired even for the prospect of a diesel / auto project. The buyer's ID is truncated by eBay to r***7 - no idea who that is of course - if it had been me I guess it would have been e***6 since I'm electrokid46 on eBay - there's a limit to the number of identities one can easily remember

SPAM!

[scarecrow]

[Tim Leech]
