i thought this when i spoke to him, he was too upfront with the infomation telling who ever what they wanted to hear.
with that sort of work in mind im glad i took the 17hr round trip and paid £350 for one.
i wouldnt worry about the bad feedback as im sure people will find out what sort of person he is, i can see even from the pictures that the car has not been dry stored as he made out to me.
just typical ebay, make ya bid and take a chance, he should be made to pay out for your losses and time |

It needs for anyone interested both wings both doors, tailgate lower rear panel, floors repair both inner and outer sills rear lower corner panels not to mention the possible bulkhead, lots of missing and broken trims. Now I'm not saying it's beyond repair but it was far more work than he made out to me and I would put it at about £1700 if I was honest but he's not open to offers, well not that sort.
I arrived to collect the car after borrowing a trailer with the intension of taking it but I found myself questioning things he was saying, and what makes this one worth this sort of money and I had to walk. I know he's going to report me to ebay but, hey go for it because it's not as described and I think he had been clever with the photography in not showing any of the really bad bits. So guys if you fancy a challenge go for it but I've had too much of Jons BS
Oh,and the engine is seized which could be unseized with a bottle of Coke!

If it's not as described then it's tough sh$t for him. If he moans at eBay then report him back for lying.
I was really hoping it was as described...
