Lovely car that and rare as hens teeth.....however, when you then look at the sellers feedback its at 80%, so I had a closer look and he's got some duff feedback on selling, on the face of it low value cars....odd, seeing as he's selling this beauty.

I then had a look at what else he was selling and he has a further 90 high end classic cars for sale, but none of his feedback is on anything approaching the quality of the cars he's got listed....what's going on?

80% sounds really bad...but then you look and see that in reality this only 2 negatives. One of which was for a broken con rod.

I nearly bought one of these about 25 years ago ; the asking price then was £400 which I thought steep at the time , considering there was minor accident damage to one of the front wings , and I walked away .

It may even have been the same car since the registration number seems vaguely familiar , but the car I looked at back then was finished in two tone grey at that time .

The prices have certainly gone up since the late 70's/early eighties when a few hundred would have bought you any Ponton or maybe a 190 or 300SL if you got lucky .

He's had 3 negs in the last 12 months....and has only had 16 listings....

He's now selling classifieds which buyers can't leave feedback for as the transactions aren't through eBay. He's probably sold many more cars but they were probably classifieds

Ah ha...Yes, just had another look.
