Oh dear, oh dear.....

I do love some of the text from the advert. Here are some of my favourites:

Quote:

here's a small crease in the wing by the rear offside door (really was the patio door falling on it)

If he let the patio door fall on it then I'd be worried what else may have 'fallen' on it....

Quote:

recent service and £160 on two new rear tyres.

but then goes on to say

Quote:

will need a front tyre due to wear

which leads one to worry to exactly why he didn't replace all the tyres

Perhaps this sounds a bit daft but where does the seller get the idea that the car was a prototype? The Beloved remained within Rover for a while after being built as well, but that doesn't make her a prototype - just a manager's car, which is what this one is more likely to be as well. If he has some more info on the motor's history then it would be very interesting to know of course, hopefully we'll discover more.
