Well, I'm high bidder, for the moment!

Buyer is demanding a $2,000 deposit via pay-pal, claims over 10K in parts.
Not the sort of car I would buy on a pay-pal account, too many scams being run on eBay for that!

Car is RHD, and clearly an English import, I wonder how it was described to the last buyer?

Interesting wheels, real knock-on mags or fake spinners?

Engine is claimed to run, but looks very neglected and to have been futzed with by an amateur.
