Judging by his description, and his answers to (what I consider to be) perfectly reasonable questions, I'd say steer well clear!

As above,
Keep away, the seller hasn't even answered the second question.
Why hasn't he included the engine with the car,all he has to do is up the price a little.Looks iffy to me.
I would spend my money elsewhere.

Obviously knows little about it, I would want to see it and the V5, probably also want to ensure it's not a ringer (no engine will make this
difficult to prove as no engine no.).... Could make it a bargain, or it could be awful and you could end up with burnt fingers!

looks like a ringer......its way toooo cheap.
We almost got caught with a car that was a cat b write off.
The owner didn't even know he was sold a write-off And this was something he had taxed and moted for three years.....
He broke down in tears
so buyer beware... those are probably not pictures of the car in its present state

I seem to remember seeing him with other kits on ebay before and looking at the items in his (crap) feedback would seem to confirm he is a dealer. I
know being a dealer doesn't = dodgy but with answers to perfectly good questions like that you can make your own opinion if its someone you
would trust to deal with.
Hmmmm seems like I feel a question coming on but I bet he won't publish it
Gonna send him the link to this thread hahahaha
Chris.

Live axle points to MK1/2 escort or Capri, sierra's (except the P100 version) are IRS.
MK did make original (uncle ron version) locost chassis with a few mods before the Indy, so it could me an MK (but not an Indy).
Question to the MK fans, does the Indy stand for Independent?

Hey mate,
I had a look at this car in early january. It's in bad condition and needs lots of work. It had a xflow engine which didn't run when I
viewed it. Fibreglass panels are cracked and have gel coat missing.
All I can say is that it needs alot of work, also it looked like it had been out in the wet alot because the floor pan was quite rusty and seats
needed replacing

If you insert some punctuation in to his reply it makes a bit more sense.
Q: hi i am interested in the car you have for sale please can you advise me on exactly whats missing from the car and the build age,is the car built
using sierra parts ect any more info on condition would be great also can you confirm whats written on the log book mk sports car or ford sierra
thanks,lewis.
A: Its missing an engine. Live axle that says escort. It's cheap either buy it or dont, sick of dick head questions
Possibly the axle is present but it's not Sierra running gear in answer to the question.
This post and flaming the guy is nearly as stupid as his reply.
