Default Case of mistaken identity

I have now got to the bottom of this, and the ebay car vendor "borrowed" the pictures off a classic car website, so it appears I may have purchased a bit of a different car ! Inspection needed methinks.

Reminds me of those terribly misleading 'library' pictures that Practical Classics used to use in their classified ads some years ago >.<

Glad you got to the bottom of it.

Still think it will be ok going by description, but I would be going over it with a fine toothed comb.

Print out the description and take it with you.

All, thank you for the enquiries.

Regarding ebay then someone must have cut and pasted my photo's and used these for the sale of their own 240GLT. I did not advertise my car on ebay - I think someone did notice the differences in the histories of the two cars.

She was indeed very clean and a great car - and has now gone. Apologies for the delays - my internet access has been down.

Regards,

Al
