Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted January 20, 2019 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 It looks like it may have. No response from the winner as yet though - so maybe not.... who knows - I hate eBay. Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted February 2, 2019 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Surprise surprise - the overseas buyer was indeed a timewasting dickhead clown. Oh well. 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom kilner Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I always block overseas buyers for everything - too many scams possible. Your car was a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted February 2, 2019 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 It’s more annoying than anything else. Listed as spyder chassis - very clearly - buyer moaning after seeing the chassis pictures that it was incorrect and the v8 was wrong. Ummm lotus never fitted a v8 to these. 😒 the second the weather warms up and if the cars still here I shall commence getting some interest in it myself There’s plenty of margin in the car at the price it sold for the next guy to make some ££ or get a decent car Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Barrykearley Posted February 9, 2019 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Had a feeling you might have done Mike It needs a bit of work on the interior and some new Tyres. It’s gonna make someone a nice car with a bit of time and effort. Fingers crossed this sale goes through. If it doesn’t it’s tyres and trim and rolling my sleeves up Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s gone to a proper enthusiast owner - so looking forward to seeing her progress to the next stage of her life. At least she’s now out of her long time slumber and back on the road - just hope the new owner uses and improves her 4 1 Quote Only here once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilmagnet477 Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 @Barrykearley - I assume this fleabay add is a scam. Seller also has an Excel ad - both with suspiciously little info??? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-Elite-V8-spyder-chassis/382858432973?hash=item59242411cd:g:NsUAAOSwaNRclkll Quote Is the price for that bit in Yen or £?
