    What a shame!

    Reassuring to see how intact the passenger compartment looks. I wonder if the engine and gearbox stayed out of it though?

    I think its cheeky how they have photographed it on the advert, avoiding most of the damage where many people want the parts!

    Ha already e-mailed the guy about this car aswell.

    His words:

    'hello simon the engine has slight damage mate the timing case front cover is cracked & the rocker cover is cracked also .the gear box is fine & the exhaust is twins .'

    I also asked the mileage and vin but he just said to call them.

    Be interesting to see if he comes back then. With all this interest he may bump his prices up.
