Usually ebay sends the invoice and your Paypal account is set up so ebay can automatically claim payment for fees accrued. Ebay then debits your PP account at a prearranged time for the invoice value. If it's not paid, reminders are sent out via email and then presumably they shut/restrict the account and ultimately resort to either Small Claims Court, write the debt off and ban the seller from ebay or similar.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-240....m46890.l49286 ... still no bids at the 2 grand starting price. I suppose this one is a bit rough around the edges: some rust on the wheel arches and the rear console is badly broken (a bit difficult to replace). Let’s see if it sells this time :-)

While generally trawling the bay to see what was on there, i spotted this Alan and thought about that £11k burning a PV544 shaped hole in your pocket. This is slightly newer and overall looks in nicer condition and they'll even deliver it to you :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164840511946 Four speed + overdrive box (M41 if memory serves) and i can't remember if you could use OD on 3rd as well as 4th, if so that would give 6 forward speeds, if not then it's still 5 forward speeds. All powered by a B18B twin carb engine which i think was about 110-115bhp (dredging the memory cell now, might be adrift on that) and probably retro-cool enough for your lad without be a John Virgo waistcoat! (aka a "No dad!") Handlebars on the correct side which is a bonus too!

PS. Perhaps I was being a bit hasty about that PV544 whim - I did like the look of the car, but I've never even seen one up close, never mind driven one. The chaps in the PV section of the forum were incredibly helpful, and I'm still thinking about a 544, but I should do some research first. PPS. I think an Amazon would receive an equally unfavourable reception from Dan - he wants me to buy a McLaren 570.

I'll watch this one - 2 grand is probably still a bit high for this car, if it was a few years older it would be a £1,000 motor like the one from Bude. The seller is probably hoping that being almost an historic vehicle will be worth a premium.

If you squint they look the same and the Lotus is nearly as quick................. As for aftermarket glass sunroofs, they served a purpose in the 80s and 90s but i prefer the steel panel sunroofs although the Webasto full length vinyl sunroof was nice too. Whichever you have the tilt option is nice for extra through-flow ventilation and is the most used function on both my beasts although that may change once i've sorted the A/C on them. On the Amazon i'd be inclined to keep it and preserve it as a period accessory but it seems like you won't be buying the Amazon any time soon either!

So the asking price has dropped £750 in 5 months, or £150/month... still £1750 to go until it reaches its value, so we should see a sale in May or June 2022 :-)
