LHD Supercharger with supercharger removed?

Wow, my brother had one of those many many years ago. Fun little car but they started rusting before they left the factory

If you read further down that list it shows the same LHD MK1 as being sold for £1660 on 22nd Jan this year, then re-listed on the 29th - withdrawn, re-listed again and sold the other day for £1,589.00
all seems very suspicious to me

A chap over on Retro Rides sold a car a month on Ebay last year. Very regularly people would win the auction and then disappear without trace, turn up and immediately try to argue the price down. And so on and so forth... He got pretty fed up of Ebay. There are some total muppets on it. Based on his experience very few car sales go through as they should.

To be fair though this car is seriously suspect. It is not a supercharger and is being wrongly advertised.

[jimi]

If you look at the MOT history it failed the MOT with serious corrosion,

offside rear Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings sill / bottom of arch (6.1.B.2)

11 days later it passed (at a different MOT station) with 1 advisory (not mentioned on the previous fail)

• Advisory notice item(s)
  o/s/f tyre side wall perished

Maybe I'm reading to0 much between the lines but strikes me as suspicious.

god .... I wonder what happened .....

It's not mentioned as a supercharger anymore though.

However saying the km conversion to miles is 81k but then just below its stated as 78k...

[gonae86]

yup..... I do want the car .... but at this stage not even sure if it is real ......
