Clocked c43 on ebay

[The _Don]

Heads up this c43 has been put back at least 20 30k miles i know a previous owner.
Was sold last year for £2500 with plenty of rust and quite tatty.

Hate to say it but it doesn't look too bad to me!

Agreed a new passenger side xenon lense and drivers side dimming mirror glass and it be looking sorted.

If the car has been clocked than this is clearly fraud. Police are unlikely to be interested but I nevetherless would report this to them as well as to trading standards.

I sold a car to a dealer who then didn't mention to the next owner that it had had a speedo change early in it's life, meaning the odometer was showing around 18k miles than the car had travelled.

The pages in the service book detailing this even "fell out".

Dealer bought it back for what the guy had paid for it, but not before he'd accused me of clocking the car.

The front wings look a lot shinier than the rest of the car. Looks pretty good overall though. For this age of car, general condition would be far more important to me than the mileage or service history anyway.

I used to see this car around quite alot. A few owners back I presume my uncle bought a green C43 off a guy who used to own this I think.

The_Don was that you by any chance?! Did I meet you a few months/years? back when you had a 40k C43 in Belvedere?

Anyways yeah it does look pretty clean but I wouldnt touch it if its been clocked.
