Looks like his wiring technique was acquired at Heinz filling cans full of spaghetti...........

It's straight - but raw - when we put in it the tin!  :y

Spose its something of a rarity really. Its usually the older 2 litres that get chavved up like this. What a way to spoil a nice motor.

Well, the reply from the "seller" actually turned out to be a wind-up from another lister. Hook, line & sinker!

Some very appologetic replies until the truth was discovered.

The forum is email based but the offending article in all its' pride and glory is Ebay item 260095940813 if anyone fancies a project!

Although I think this one might be beyond rescue....
What were they thinking LOL :)) Ebay 260095940813

3 Bids OMG what are they thinking.
There's not much that's not horrendous about that.
I think James May would like the interior :-))

That green thing is even beyond Mr Wisemans skills of restoration, the
only place for that is the skip

blue touch paper lit and.... whoosh!

Gentlemen,

I have been a lurker on this list for some time now and I have always
appreciated the agnostic stance you take to Se7ens and brands and so on. I
am thus sooooo insulted by your remarks about my car now for sale on Ebay.

My 1964 Jeffrey may not be one of your fancy carbon toting Caterhams, nor a
BEC revvy monster but it supplies hours and hours of fun at considerable
bang for buck.

Now you claim it needs serious renovation or putting it in a skip. What were
they thinking the little upstart from Scotland asks. Hah, have you seen his
little car? Is that bulge on the bonnet really needed or is it phallic? I
reckon we all know the answer to that question :-)

And then there is this chap Booth, working at Reuters of all places where
honest reporting is supposed to still happen - well Mr Booth, I'll have you
know Mr James May is a very fine, well educated and well spoken Englishman
and I have little doubt that yes he would like it. But what were you
insinuating?

And finally Mr Wiseman, he seems to have way too many cars to give my poor
J5 the love and attention it deserves so I would refuse to sell it to him
even if he were to bid.

So there

Mike Burnit

I'm gonna buy it... and let him keep the wheels...as per the sales particulars

[size=14]Price can be reduced if certain items are removed i.e 18 inch alloy wheel worth 1,600.00[/size]

£6000 - £1600 per wheel = he owes me £400, which will but a nice new set.  Bargain  :)

poor fool!

to ask for £6,000 for it probably suggests he got ROBBED when he bought it in the first place, and has added the mods in an attempt to hold some value on it!
