Where is this?

Post by Eddie nuff » Thu Mar 14, 2013 12:51 pm

Whilst having a scout around the tinternet I came across this. At £7k that's a tad expensive, no matter how good it is.

When you click on additional history at the bottom it's had a tap on the front but the phone number is in East Sussex not Kelso.

It's not on the Insurance Database or in DVLA's records.

My cynicism smells something not quite right but curiosity gets the better of me.

Anyone know anything of this motor?

Thats a very old advertisement.

This car was for sale a few months ago. And its now back in Belfast with a private plate on it. I haave seen and driven this car a few years ago, and it was a superb car.

Seems like a shame to add any more miles on that car Robert :)

Seriously lovely cars though...

I understood that but curiosity was gnawing away at me regarding the silly asking price, the smash, and no records on the databases.

That explains the lack of info on the databases. Very nice motor, very tempting (shhh don't tell swmbo). How much did it sell for?

I don't know what it sold for. It was much less than the asking price on the original advert as it has circa 45K miles on it when I last saw it. It left NI, went to London for a year or so, and came back here again about 6 months ago.
