ALL CARS ON EBAY.

I'd love to see the wheel alignment test results Looks like the geometry is way out. I don't think it will handle the corners as well as Peter Stevens intended

And where's the turbo ? No mention in the advert

Engine photo shows it's a NA so no turbo, but it is a 2.0 litre so maybe not needed ..

(At least it doesn't say "upgraded breaks" like a recent Autotrader ad )

Mark, I was just making a supercilious remark as the sellers states "will need toeing" ie toe in rather than towing but looking at pictures I think you're right.

Also a quick look at the dash photo shows a digital clock where the boost gauge would be: so I agree it's a N/A.

Nickydee........I got your toe in/out//towing: don't worry you're not alone with a warped sense of humour!

i had a little rant about this on the Pistonhead thread last week .
Very much an N/A .

From one cynic to another Nick, I understood what you meant

I wouldn't even like to drive that car into the garage or onto a recovery truck. Looks like the suspension is well shot

I hadn't realised it was officially an N/A though. I just thought someone had removed the turbo and EBayed it

I definitely need a trip to Specsavers

It's not one I've ever seen before - and I'm pretty sure i'd have remembered the numberplate, soft top and heat shields.....

..... not my cup of tea, but it looks presentable in the pictures - obviously had some money spent on it. Interior looks good nick.

Don't like an advert that says mileage is "132" when in it had 133,554 miles at the MOT on 6th September 2016... doesn't take a lot of effort to put the correct figures in, with a 'k' if required.

Test date 6 September 2016
Expiry date 5 September 2017
Test Result Pass
Odometer reading 133,554 miles
MOT test number 4252 4884 6975

1971 as year of manufacture ?

[simonbuk]

Crap advert all round !! Just a one-liner and 'phone me if you want' kind of thing - crazy !!

[Rambo]

Very much a kind of "can't be arsed sort so why should I bother" sort of advert

So I won't

[clemo]

Bit of a quiet week for ebay sales ..

Er, nope - - - the advert clearly says it's a 1990 one (sorry!)

.... but to be more sensible, it not an advert or car I'm familiar with.
