That's a blast from the past! I didn't realise they were yet another name.  ;)

I like how they say "WE CAN PUT A FULL YEARS MOT ON THIS ONE FOR A FIXED FEE OF £195!!!" and how the "full black leather" is actually cream, lol, bunch of muppets

Cheap but have a closer look,it's not as good as it first seems.
Speaker cover,jack point cover,wheel cap missing,centre head rest missing,rust on arches and in one picture the N/S tyre looks a little flat.I only paid £500 for my 98 with no rust and no parts missing.i would say it's over priced or am i just being fussy ?5 months ago i bought a 99 Elite every extra fitted 87k with mot and full tank of fuel for £75.00 from ebay.I only wanted a headlight and this had 2 new ones fitted.sold car to a chap in Wales 1 month later for £399 on ebay with 2 dodgy headlights fitted. :y

Sterling Cars, that name rings a bell ?.

Didn't they get done by the Trading Standards a while back for selling 'iffy' cars that weren't what they were saying in their adverts ?.  :-?

Did they?  :-/ I knew they'd changed their name several times, but the similarity of their adverts made it obvious who they were when they had a name change.  :y

Can't be sure, but something rings a bell, and sure I read in the paper somewhere or heard bout it. ?  :-? .

Mind you if they've changed their name several times, that kind of makes the smelling of rats if you ask me.

Looks like he has moved on from selling from his house.  Had been tempted with a few of thier cars over the years but then allways found something that was not 100% after reading  and re reading the ads carefully.

Very cleverly worded, and allways uses the same style for taking pics.
