Default interesting listing on ebay

I came across this interesting listing on ebay while looking a few parts. Is this any body on here as it sounds a little erm ... too good to be true? Is some one getting desperate for money/space both?

He's got 40, but it's a single unit auction.

50x40 = £2000, which is significantly below market value of a fully working and registerd car.

With fees he would also loose over £200.

This is the Roadster in question !!??

Linky

Looking at the body, I hope more attention to detail was paid to the chassis construction

The car was originally advertised on ebay at a starting price of £1500 and did not get one bid.
I contemplated it, I got distracted with my build as just as I started building my table by a brace of mini's came into the picture

Might be worth it in parts to "re build" a haynes, my plan would be to build a chassis then nick parts off it! unfortunaly I havent the space or a happy enough wife for another car atm!!

It obviously didn't sell for £1500 so why try again for £500 more
Looks to me like it would need a lot more work than it first seems to get through iva

Default Noticed price increse.

Noticed the price increase on the second auction as well. Caliing the car fully working is useful, It fully works but you cant use it on the road. Thanks auction lister. Surely he would be better selling it as parts.
