Best avoided... description is misleading at best, imaginary at worst. Service history makes Jackanory look like fact. The book has been stamped but mileages are all over the place and not a single corroborating invoice.

Shame the seller is such a idiot, because it could be quite a nice car... but without real history, not worth a penny over £800 :y

Yes. But because it is advertised as 'a classic' this doubles the price. :)

Yep.

I occasionally see the figure of 180. Perhaps they refer to PS.
