[eBay]Lotus Excel V8, completely rebuilt & extensively modified

[C8RKH]

Oh my god. It is hideous. Why would you do that?

[mikeeech]

Didn't we have this conversation when it was up at £8k?. The lower price may make it feasible to put back the cosmetics

I just looked and the seller of this car who has seemingly robbed one of our members is listing other live items, most recently 4 days ago!

@Kevtherev, win another of his items and offer to pop over and pick it up to save on postage, paying cash on collection then take the cops along? No?

 

[mikeeech]

Good idea that...

[Kevtherev]

Yes good idea would have to be someone local to him or different county to myself. Might have given me an idea.

Cheers mate very observant.

If you pass this info to the Police I'm sure their e-crime division would be happy to get involved and help out. Looks like an easy nick for them and you'll get your car or money back...

Perhaps you could pose as a biker chick?

Apologies if its a different Mr Mcveigh, but the ebay sales seem to tie in?

I want to check this marmite car out for myself as I understand from the seller Roger that his buyer is still messing him about following the auction ending! He seems to know his stuff and I feel that giving it back a standard front bonnet and lights if preferred wouldn't take too much effort/cost.

Would I be mad to take a gander if the eBay bidder fails to cough up?

 

[Bibs]

You might want to read all of the posts in this topic... 

[Dunc]

In case Bibs was being too subtle:

BE VERY CAREFULL!

& PLEASE - do read all the posts regarding this auction.

(would hate for one of us to enter into something blindly on eBay when there is important info elsewhere on our forum.)

Actually a lot of the posts have been withdrawn while the purchaser ascertains legitimacy of the seller.

 

Best advice, go and see the car rather than purchase via distance and hand-over cash/pay funds only when in receipt of: the car, its V5C and a receipt for the transaction declaring the person is the owner and has the right to sell it.

[DaKa]

Interesting - the communication back from the seller seems to have stopped at my mention of the V5 and need for other documents! 

If he does revert I may take a look, but in lieu of comments I won't be chasing this up.
