one of Richards old cars I think? also from teh same neck of the woods, feedbacks a bit iffy too.

Looks nice though, and the wheels suit it, shame about that awful exhaust! lol

It was in the background of the Athina posted a couple of days ago. He has a BX14 too in his garage. Hopefully one of these he's selling won't be the "donor car"...

Also Paul still selling yours? Was tempted by this guy's other petrol but thought it would be pricier in the long run.

Looks like pics were taken round the corner from Richards house. Looks like a nice car, even the exhaust grows on you after a while. I know some people have an issue with Richard buying and selling BX's but i must say he has always struck me as a decent enough bloke. :)

Yes i bet he his a nice bloke. But when i was trying to get rid of my black tzd. He wanted to swap for his red tzd plus 2 to 300 pound. He wanted the money first so he could tax and mot it. I was that close to giving the monye by pay pal. The the next did all 3 or 4 of his cars was up for sale on ebay. With mots on them.

Tim, this is one of Richards other E-Bay name/accounts (triumphtr7man) !

I wonder how many other accounts he has/uses ?
Handy to push up the bidding when the price of his listings haven't been reaching the reserve or enough profit £'s margin) :wink:

Strange that its been relised ey! he really is rather obvious. Obviously wasnt going to fetch the money he wanted so pulled it and restarted.

Its a nice looking motor but I wouldnt buy anything from that seller.

When will everyone learn that sunroofs leaking is an inherent feature of the design and if they leak into your car it is the drain tubes that are blocked not a seal problem. Unblocking the drain tubes is a much easier job than sealing up the sunroof. :?

Whilst I cant comment on Richards car dealings as I dont know enough about him I have bought one of his cars and I think it was reasonable for the price I paid as with this this one its currently at 260 doesnt really matter who is selling it at that kind of price does it.

Fair enough Mike, good luck with it. The idea of the same seller but with a alternate ebay account would ring alarm bells with me. Again i may be being cynical but I find it odd the way cars keep reappearing after they have supposed to be sold.

My take on it, which again is just my opinion of course, is that it appears the cars are "bid up" by someone he knows, or indeed himself with another ebay account, and then if they dont sell to a genuine buyer (and he/they are the highest bidder) they get relisted and it starts all over again. Its hardly rare on ebay sadly!
