It looks like a genuine advert, but there is doubt in my mind as, in my opinion, the car is cheaper than it should be.

:agree: but looking at sellers feedback he has sold other cars too. Maybe just wants a quick sale, and with no history hence price :headscratch:

Looks reasonably genuine. Front valence is bent and its had a blow over under the bonnet. Offside under the headlight looks like something has been painted over so probably needs a good check for hidden filler.

Not much gets past Peter, does it? :D
I did notice that the incorrectly sized fuel filter doesn't appear to have a bracket. It must only be the fuel pipes holding it in position.

I dare say you could spend at least a £1000 on it to start with, but it seems cheap enough to still be a good buy. But would need a damn good inspection first though.....Maybe Will and Gus could have a look at it for us :wave: :lol:

Made me laugh perhaps Will & Guss will have a go ........
But I will say if it was a little closer I would go a view but take peter with me as nothing gets past him , even a plane ......... :xd:

As they say on the tv I wonder if we could “ buy it .....fix it ....and flip it .... ? As they do on these car programmes .
