Duotone on fleabay

noily · 12th February 2016, 15:04

Had not noticed this as being on the forum, just spotted this on the fleabay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-75-1...MAAOSwpzdWsILE

Haven't got a spare £800 at the moment or I might have been tempted.
If anyone want to buy it for me I would be happy

Zero feedback seller but the car itself looks OK. MOT history checks out OK too. If it is good, a bargain at that price.

Looks an excellent car for the price - don't think it was originally a duotone. Didn't the factory duotone cars have the upper colour surrounding the rear number plate? Also looks like it has some colouring on the bottom of the front bumper?

Noted before - an ex MG motor show car no less

supposedly sold to someone in Scotland.

Something fishy going on?

How can we be sure it was the show car ?

Nev The Bear · 12th February 2016, 19:56

Walnut steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake grip as well.

The Rovering Member · 13th February 2016, 00:29

I thought it was sold. If it had been around when l was searching it would probably have ended up with me.

I'll be almost passing his door next Thursday so I might just call in to see if it's there
Cheers Ian

Something is wrong with this seller, I have sent them numerous emails and no response that seems particularly odd ? It appears that the Bonnet is out of sync as it is up on one side and down on the other, making me wonder about possible accident damage also who only takes five photographs and not one under the Bonnet.

I'm becoming extremely suspicious ��

Bonnet has been opened in one photo, and closed the next.
Definitely the motorshow car, as every feature is identical. All the side windows are tinted, the wheels are the same, headlights the same, and it's a very rare colourscheme. Also a Birmingham reg, which, again, points to it being MGR registered.

Reason the seller isn't responding is that the car sold ages and ages ago now.
