Default Ebay Bargain

Seen this on the Bay and thought it might be a bargain buy for some member willing to take a chance.
The chap is demented, he spent over £4000 on it and it won't run.

The auction ends shortly.

Already spotted this, Could be anything, but if it runs ok when started then it won't be too expensive for a club member to get going if they make use of their nearest T4 guy .

Not sure what colour that's supposed to be , 'blue/green flip flop'?

The FlipFlop colour scheme must be rare, I can't find it on the guide from Reebs.

I've been watching this one and had meant to ask Jules what the most likely causes would be.

There's a lot of internal condensation - photos taken with door open and windows down. Maybe because it's been stood for a while, but I'd anticipate some leaks / damp.

What???? So it had four tyres in March and then two weeks later it needed two more???

How did he manage to spend £1,500 on two tyres and exhaust and an MOT. Part of me wants to feel sorry for him, part of me thinks he is a fool.

It only looks like a club spec as well!
