As Roy used to say "Buyer beware".
ALWAYS request CAB/BODY numbers if bidding on eBay, TWO stinkers already this year!

Re: Austin 1000 pick up
Who bought FGP 304J (exPO van with exWRVS ID) or that late '60s Civvy van with the 1965 exGPO Engineers van ID (CYU 980C?).?
Anyone on here?
Ppl seemingly ignore my advice and are happy to spend £1k's on dodgy LCVs - I even offer a FREE vehicle check - despite this, ppl continue to buy suspect vehicles!

Re: Austin 1000 pick up
Doesn't look too dodgy. An Austin badged LCV thats had a home made rear body fitted to it sometime in its life which isn't unusual. It's had its Austin grill replaced with a Morris one and a car bumper fitted, but theres plenty of valid reasons for doing that - slight accident knock for eg....
Wether the cab number matches up is another matter, but can't see anything to arouse suspicion at first glance on those pics....
