Why they didn't just try and sell it is a mystery to me, though gauging by the condition of the car they were more than likely old, had a garage, only used it on a Sunday to feed the ducks a few feet away from their house, never took it out in the wet and had a garage look after it regularly
(had a good look round it and no signs of any weld repairs to sills/wings /struts or any of the usual places)
they must be completely oblivious to what the car was worth and blissfully un aware of eBay or Pistonheads
I bet whoever serviced/MOT'd the car is in for a shock when they turn up in their new piece of French cack....wonder if he will have the heart to point out their blunder?
the salesman who pulled this stunt must have had zero conscience...hope he pulls a muscle playing with the WII he will no doubt go out and buy with his bonus
I would have been happier being stuck behind "Doris and Fred" in something I regard as a classic, which would help keep my blood pressure down and would have even earned a nod of aproval or a wave as I overtook...now they join the rest of the hords of anonymous crap car and flat cap brigade that are always in the bloody way/holding traffic up/indicating the opposite way to the direction they are going/in the wrong lane/out to kill me/SMIDSY/etc etc etc
Semi rant over
