So Check this out!!
This car is now on eBay looking not so different. This person has now given up trying to get it onto the road. Looks like they have wrapped some parts in black to cover up the rubbish paint and added some second hand Cobra seven seats. This car is obviously a total dogs dinner and will require a total rebuild to get it safely back onto the road.

For those interested there is a little history of its recent life.....
I originally saw this car on Preloved advertised for £500 and tried to buy it but was beaten to it...

It then appeared on Gumtree as per the advert above a few days later for £1500 !!!!!!!!!
That's a £1000 mark up just for towing it a few miles down the road!!!

It is now on eBay with a starting price of £1000 ??!!!
Please also note that the V5C is still in the name of the original owner in Bridgend who first advertised it!!!
