No apology necessary. Many would view the description as an understatement.
I'm excited to admit that I have just bought the Canary Wharf Pac Blue car that was on eBay.

It must have been one hell of a car to get past your close examination

Good luck with the sale. Hope it goes for a good amount. Defo need some tyre shine on those tyres though, they looks really old and worn

Haha - the tyres arent actually that old! But the place where I've taken the pictures has a white gravel car park and it makes them very chalky and dull. The tyres aren't worn at all.
I do have several interior pictures of the car on my computer somewhere. I'll find them when I get home.

The low quality setting on your images makes that stone chip looks like you hit a wall, it might help the price if you put a clearer picture up of the 'stone chip'.

I honestly think the #1 thing you can do to reduce your success when selling a car (or in fact anything online, particularly on eBay) is failing to provide plenty of high quality photos. I tend to simply ignore anything advertised without pictures or where the pics are low quality.
Recently I was in the position of wanting to buy an Elan under severe time pressure (stupid idea, I know... but anyway). Because I was pretty desperate I went to look at a car that had been advertised without photos. It actually turned out to be a pretty decent Elan, but even though it had been advertised for a while I was the only person who came to view it.
Anyway, back to my spanners...

It worked for me, though! the advert for my red one was really cr@p, so no bidders and few enquiries - but as it was only 2 miles away it was worth a look - the rest is history.

just checking out a car on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 2759.l1259and i noticed there doesnt appear to be a turbo, but its a 1993 aparrently, did they make NA's that late in production?
if it realy is a late production NA then it would be a good choice for me. although £7k seems abit steep. my only concern is that its an early car that just sat around waiting to be registered.

please use email for contact

I would tend to think it's an actual NA, as all the correct bits are there, and outside of having a wrecked NA to pull these parts from it would be an expensive proposition to acquire them all.

If it doesn't exist, create it. (God did)
Ignore what I say. (good advice)

Phil recently sold a nice BRG NA for a little over half that.
