Hi Gents
Michael99 - tell us what your experience has been in that you seem to have sent him 2k?
Seems like we are talking to the same guy? only the location is slightly different!!! I did contact ebay but the ad had been taken down....
I've copied and pasted his email to me
Thank you for your reply.
I've attached some photos to this message.
It is a 970s Morris Mini Cooper Mk1.
My cooper 970 S Has been made in to what it intended to be from the factory - A Race / Rally Car !
Details as follows:
- mini lite alloys from mini spares. Off road tyres
- It has full roll cage
- fibreglass doors bonnet and boot lid
- plastic side windows
- adjustable front arms etc
- its had plates of welding over the years . But is solid and does not need any welding
- it has the correct 970 s engine Block Cranks rods
- 11 stud 940 head
- 1128 Gearbox
Starts and drives. All lights brakes work etc
It has patina
Its paint and chrome bumpers grille etc in original condition.
I had the engine fully rebuilt got all the electrics working etc
MOT and Tax exempt.
Built in November 1964 dispatched to Yeovil Somerset.
The car is located in Helmsdale, Scotland.
Unfortunately, I have relocated to Spain and Helmsdale is too far away to arrange a viewing for each offer I get.
I suggest going through OFX.com secure online service which gives you 7 days inspection period on all vehicles for high amount payments before OFX.com pays the seller (similar to escrow service and more secure than PayPal). OFX.com has great reviews on Trustpilot. The new Amazon Payment Services Provider Program for stores and also in partnership with eBay.
The total price is £7400 including delivery fees and insurance. The estimated time of arrival (ETA) is 4 to 6 working days.
I will set up a purchase agreement with OFX.com and offer a full 7 days inspection period through their money-back guarantee purchase protection program. This purchase protection guarantees that the car is exactly as described; basically, once delivered, you'll have 7 days to inspect it and if you decide not to keep it you will get refunded instantly by OFX and they will charge me with the return delivery costs. I don't think this will be the case as the car is very clean and tidy as you can see in the photos.
I will get paid only after you confirm that the car is as described. Let me know if you want to go ahead as I still have quite a few other offers from potential buyers.
If you do want to go ahead please email me your full name and address along with your daily contact number to get this purchase registered with eBay and OFX's secure payment service.
I can send you a copy of the V5c for proof of ownership along with a selfie photo holding my driving license.
Thanks,
Warren
