I bid on this, and was pipped at £6080 by the guy from Bournemouth. Perhaps a lucky escape, but I soooo wanted it, even with the trip to Ireland to pick it up
.
I carried out the HPI through ebay, and sussed the reg changes, so I mailed the owner. Apparently it was originally a UK car, taken to NI and re-regd, then put on a private plate with a change again to sell it on. I believed him, hence the bids.
I saw the car go back up a couple of months later, by which time I'd bought my current coop (considerably cheaper). His wife didn't like driving it was the reason. Interesting the power of photography in an ad, the Irish ad had it against a stately home, car looked immense
. In Bournemouth a couple of snapshots at the side of the road. Looked crap, and I believe he tried twice to sell it. It went, IMO, from a 6k car to a 3k car between two photos.
Obviously if it's now at 5k through a dealer, he's been caned. Serves him right for out bidding me
