Re: [doc] eBay car (item 4606569043)

["Colm" <colm.nugent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went to see this car about this time last year before I eventually
bought mine from DMCH.  It was in Kingston, SW London, if memory
serves.    So it's been kicking around for a long, long time.

At that time it was not UK registered, or MOT'd and setting aside the
interesting interior, it looked like a major project.  What I didn't
understand is why the seller didn't do anythign to make it a more
attractive prospect - like registering it or MOT'ing it.  Having had a
fairly in-depth discussion with Dave H about it, I walked away.

Still, the interior is very interesting.
