Some like them freshly minted but I prefer them with patina. I hope he gets his target!!

Odd - and then intriguing...

The odd part is how its got a "UK V5 and plates" and is being pitched to UK buyers from Italy by someone with broken English.

Click on the feedback and there's three lots of negative.  All the same day and same buyer and the translation of the problem and response (bablefish) is "IT DOES NOT SEND the OBJECT GAINED IN AUCTION AND PAID. IT GIVES BACK THE MONEY." and "I do not accept a negative appraisal since I have rendered the money".

Hi David

I think the feedback should largely be taken with a pinch of salt as they are all very old and the negative are for 1 Euro each and the positive ones are for much more significant amounts.

The V5 is interesting, but I would have thought that you would want to do some serious due diligence if you were going to pay many 1,000s of Euros to anyone, especially on an Ebay sale for a car.

I didn't realise until a freind told me that it is in fact the car in the pictures below.
For many years it belonged to a bloke in Weston-Super-Mare, it has been off the road for all the time I have known the car, so 25years plus!  It was sold to the person in Italy who is selling it now in 2009. Looks like a lot of work has gone into the interior and obviously it has been resprayed, just a pity they didn't bother to change the rear lights. Price wise it is about where the market is for restored Aprilias, it would be interesting to know how much mechanical work has been done, as like I say it has been off the road for a long time.
