Ah ha!

Well done with posting the link 10/10!

PS. I see the ad is still claiming '11 months mot', but the MoT history says 20 Dec - that in itself is going to look daft to potential buyers (unless the 11 actually means II in Roman numerals?).

More by luck than judgement on the link bud, three attempts!👍😁

Smacks of abandon and desperation, just leaving the ad.

Well done, you got there in the end.

The link was quite helpful - I can see the ad ends tomorrow, so I’ll watch it and see what Bromsgrove man does next.

Unfortunately Luke, you seem to be right. I suspect the chap bought the 240 in good faith as some sort of barn/shed/field/swamp find and has had to spend a packet on getting people to fix it.
