A few years ago my wife and I sold an early Mk1 consul on EBay for a friend of ours who doesn’t use the internet. The car had been stripped to a bare shell (was in perfect condition, but our friend being himself wasn’t happy with the paint - original paint and absolutely no rot!). The shell had been taken back to bare metal and had concours finish (extremely expensive) respray inside, outside and underneath, all removed parts were labelled and boxed and sub standard parts replaced with new old stock components, everything was there to put it back together.
We put up a comprehensive listing stating all work done, condition of car and 12 detailed photographs - we had at least three people ask if they could drive it home, and one who asked if we could tax and MOT it before they bid!
Do people not read the listings or look at the photographs before asking questions or are the general public a somewhat retarded?
