GWX850J for sale on ebay

Post by biomed32uk »

Just noticed that this car, located in Lowestoft is now on ebay with some bids on, this is a car I looked at in Jan and took a quick walk away from, it looks nice but up close and persomal the work that has been done to it is to a poor standard.

I would hate one of us to get caught, the car is saveable but needs to be at the right price for some bodywork.

If anyone here wants to know more about the car PM me.

Dont want to tip cold water on the seller but I am thinking of us Minor people here.

Odd, can't find it on ebay now, I was sitting in my car between jobs yesterday having lunch and flicking through on my phone as you do, it had about 4 days to run.

This is the car on the car and classic website, looks a nice car until you start getting close to it, and sure it could still be a nice car with some time and money.

No problem on making us aware of it, that is what we are all about after all, like minded people with same love and as I have done the leg work already at least, anyone thinking of looking at it can have the heads up as to what it actually is.

How odd that it would disappear from ebay after you told us about it on here! :-? 'No visible rust ' says the advert.....

Yes strange indeed, bloody criminal whats been done to that car. I thought a very late Minor, probably should be a good one and stands the best of chance of being decent, went up there armed with means of buying it, had it have just needed a respray I would have taken it on for the right price.

Wasn't meant to be and come by mine all on the off chance with a friend spotting it for me not even for sale.

What are peoples' thoughts regarding posting remarks of "duff" or "id
challenged" vehicles?

Several people were upset by the remarks made about the 1955 ex-GPO
which was on eBay a few months ago.

Slightly "Off Topic".
