But then it is an original car, and not a copy

That car really looks great - is it one you've judged in the past then Bill?

No, but I must admit it is one I would like to own.

Seems like a fair price so far for such a good car.
If I saw a van in that condition I would sell almost anything/everything to get it
Not that the sum total of my worldly goods is worth more than about £100 now, everything has gone into my van resto

Oh dear, seems to have stalled at its reserve price of £6999(suspicious sort of bid?). I reckon it will go another £1000 tops at that rate!-Could be someones bargain buy at that-a "brand new" car with a difference!

Not really suspicious... even if the highest bidder had put on 10K it would only go as far as the reserve until someone else bid on it higher than the 6999 it is currently at...
