i would have done a post and attcahed images here myself with a write up as 9/10 times anyone buying a p1800 will be on here anyways so ,but thats just my opinion i hope its a constructive help as i read above it seems harsh but life is harsh

good luck with sale of car she looks like a fire cracker good example !!
Many thanks for your one positive comment ...she is a good example...owned by me for 21 years..As I said a friend kindly just posted the pictures that we did have so that we could get some photos on. Its just to show interested people what the car looks...I did not suggest there to be a professional looking site just a few photos to look at and if the sun had been shining over the last two months where I live then I would have of course taken them in the sun.... thanks though!

Well Simonjbf, you must be a very nice person as you have not made any unworthy response to some of the comments made about the 1800.
The one element I hate about car clubs is the holier than thou bods, who throw in everything to make themselves appear such experts, they may well be but don't demoralise a genuine attempt to sell a car.
Probably if you take a picture at the wrong angle the bloody wheels will look wonky.
Sorry mate but that is how i feel, hope sale goes well, regards Ted

One of my all time favourite classics and a stunning example at that.
Good luck with the sale, someone is going to get a "cheap" classic.

Thanks..I agree with alot of what you say on this.. At the end of the day like you say its a genuine attempt to sell a car and I was a bit suprised at some of the comments made that were just straight in there being quite critical of the site and pics, I certainly appreciated some of the points that were made..and it has sold today so all is good. Cheers for your input
