Your right i think the Doctor was in Farrington and so is this dealer . Good spot

Even adverts read the same really

Doctor Who

[Andrew 2.8i]

Also Oxforshire but then known as The Doctor!

I had exactly the same thought when I read the advert.
From memory, That seller sold cars from a place in Faringdon, just 5 miles from where Vale garage is located in Stanford in the Vale.

Those Ebay listings were always full of complete guff about the car and it's history and it's the same situation with the listing for Sam's old Capri. The dealer is selling a story.

Coincidentally, I also seem to recall that Ebay seller (was it TheDoctor105. or something like that?) had some feedback from a disgruntled seller in their profile suggesting that they masqueraded as a private buyer who intended to cherish the car. Sound familiar?

Having said all that, and I know this won't be a popular view, it was Sam's choice to sell his car.

Did you say “ The Doctor”

[Andrew 2.8i]

The seller on Ebay we were thinking of is thedoctor102, his name is David Roberts. The name of the seller of Sam's car is Robert Smart. Despite the similarities of the flowery writing style of the two Ebay sellers, could it just be a coincidence?

So the two sellers are both Doctors ?

[Mr B]

Perhaps the adverts were somehow doctored

I'm all for a good description of a car but not a war and peace type On the other hand some sellers tell you nothing

If there is any relevant information about the car, it's lost amongst all the flannel.

What makes me laugh guys is how dishonest these dealers are as i painted the car in a few places only a few years ago and told the dealer but he seems to have forgotten i told him and now says it was done in its early years ! ! Lol
We realised at some point the drivers wing had been replaced due to different none standard welding and no visible number stamped on wing as in passenger wing and thats why i let him have it abit cheaper but now its Never Been Welded ! and no mention if this in advert . I always wondered why the spot welding on front wings was different .

[samholmes]

Not to mention i was a family relation of first owner !!!!! Why would you make that up except to make it look better history

[samholmes]

The bumpers are factory original paint he states ! I did not know Ford powdered coats bumpers in the 80s ! Again i had them done and told him as i powdercoated many engine parts also .

[samholmes]

The original dealer sticker in rear window is not original . The original was part missing and falling off when i sold it This is clearly a repro one .

[samholmes]

Anyway Guys just be careful if you buy my old Capri . Its a good car but its defo not a untouched car as the dealer is trying to make out
