Default Buyers Beware

If any members are thinking about this Limo on ebay, BEWARE!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1215958458...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I sold this over 3 years ago to a fella over on the Wirral, now it is in Durham City, The seller has it listed as 1 previous owner, there were actually 2 before me, then the person who i sold it to. I have emailed the seller but have not had a reply.
Just thought i would warn any members about it.
The fella i sold it to thought he could get the reg off it,but it is stuck with the car.
Here's a pic of when i had it.

What's the score with the number plate, how come it has to stay with that car, I know you can have issues if the number plates are on say a tractor but a limo/hearse.

Did you report it to eBay as being incorrect?

Not something I'd buy anyway - driveway isn't large enough!

I didn't know what the non-transferrable reg meant so I googled it.

It's not really an issue, simply that you can't sell the plate on { although it seems you can put an aged specific one back on if you wish}.

The Manager phoned me this am, just said thanks for bringing it to his attention and he has now altered the listing.
