Default Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please be aware that the following advert is based upon false information!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1971-VOLVO...item1c5119e0e3


I am the 3rd owner of this vehicle and it didn't receive any engine rebuild of any kind and did not attend any Rally or have any historic rally pedigree what so ever.

the only thing in the advert that is correct is that it runs very nicely!!!


Wouldn't want to see anyone get caught out on this one!



Please PM if you want any information on the vehicle


Andy

Interesting.

So you were selling it on here for £1000 just a few months ago and now it's up for £3600?

Where has the seller added £2600 worth of value?

Don't get me wrong is had 2 small areas welded (Spare wheel well and front off-side a-pillar bottom) and the front leading edge of the bonnet repaired. The value doesn't concern me at all, it's worth what people will pay for it but to advertise it based upon false information is wrong!

I have called the seller and he has no documentation to back up either of the claims and seems to pass the buck onto the previous owner who I sold the car to. I sold the car on the 25th January 2015!

He has stuck a roof rack on and a couple of spotlamps and painted the wheels white , it should be easy enough to check with the RALLYE HISTORIQUE LES ALPES, In France about who finished 87th in last years rally if one actually took place that is ..

I bought the Desmo rack from Battlesbridge classic car show in Essex last year! I know it didn't take part in the rally last year as it was taking me to Work and back every day!


Unless that counts as a rally lol

Here's the original advert on here by myself THIS year!

Cool

There was no RALLYE HISTORIQUE LES ALPES in 2012,2013 or 2014. It will be run in 2015 in a shorter and cheaper format.

Blimey! I was just posting about this car on another site saying how lovely it looked, and that I quite fancied it! Damn I wish I'd seen your ad!!!!

Thank you for posting- this information now spread to others.
