Is it just me or does it look like a scam or it will be stolen?

Looks very much like they don't actually own the car from the fact the photos are taken from far away and the last photo is clearly from inside a high up vehicle like a van due to the angle and the window surround in the photo.

It could well be the owners children doing a flyby to take a few pics for the sale, thats just one scenario. Ask questions....

MOT shows it ran out Sept. 20019 205,113 miles.
It has the very rare 1.0L engine!!

If interested I'm sure you can investigate properly!

Thanks Bob ...


Worth a fortune!



In fairness. Probably the seller could not easily do better at the photos in the car's parking location, and made a typo mistake re the engine, and they need to sell the car without me larfing unkindly. Sorry.
