Title: Polish 2 door for sale again.
Post by: mirafioriman on August 02, 2007, 02:52:12 PM
Back on ebay is the black two door. ?500 with no reserve, plenty of pics if you follow the link in the listing. It's in Surrey, so too far for me to go and view, perhaps someone else will? Could be a cheap 2 door shell.

Yes, I noticed this car back on again too.

I seem to remember that he wanted quite a lot of money for it the last time it was listed and that there was a problem with ebay and the listing was withdrawn without the item being sold. Notice the seller's zero feedback rating and that the car is still on a Polish registration.

I am extremely wary of cars like this. I followed the links on the listing when it first appeared which showed lots of pics of it being 'restored'. The shell was extremely rotten and it's very difficult to say how well the restoration was carried out - especially as the car was worked on in Poland.

There seem to have been lots of questions asked of the seller but I wonder how many are genuine.

I shall continue to watch it with interest and see what it sells for ;D

"Complete rebuild" ??? :P If that`s what a car looks like after rebuild,i prefer the way it was before.I hate when a guy just hacks off vital body components and "rebuilds" it from sheet metal.At least he could do is to weld it properly,but that isn`t the case either.I think any serious car fan would like the car in it`s original shape when bought (even if it is a rust bucket),then to repair village bodyshop "rebuilds". >:(
