Default Torch not what it makes out to be.

Seller on the bay advertising a rare (his words) Rover
rechargeable torch for sale.

Untested, no lom or plug but has the socket. £14.99.

I've found though, on close inspection of his pics it's actually a BMW one with the BMW badge blacked out.

Naughty that !!!!!

Quite a few, if you have a battery back-up sounder, it has the BMW logo, as do some electrical bits

From what I've read about the torch you'd be better off with a Zippo anyway!
