Hi

It was on Facebook not that long ago for £4999, then £2999. I think a scam maybe afoot! :shock:

I've moved the thread here because it isn't a restoration thread.

I don't see a reason to suspect a scam. More like somebody has bought it cheaply, and is just chancing their arm to see how much they can get?

Honest enough description, price seems "speculative" though.

MoT history reveals last mot is 2018 which it passed, no advisories. Same for the 2 previous ones, 2017 and 2014, 200 miles between each one. And no advisories. (suspicious? sham MoT? who knows unless inspected)

Asking price is irrelevant, it is what people are willing to pay. As for values increasing, bit of a double edged sword. Sure it will make more restorations viable but it also makes cars more stealable.
