V5 and tags, a ringing kit for a nicked one. They shouldn't be allowed for sale on Ebay, but they still are.

Anybody who pays at least 4200 pounds for that rusty heap of rubbish must be suffering from acute Covid-19 syndrome. People amaze me.

I think they stay until someone reports them - there's a long-running thread on another forum where people highlight these things and I'm sure lots of them are removed. I did something like that when I saw a similar thing on one of the other car auction sites - I've gone blank on the name. They removed it pretty quickly.

Well, I feel inspired. Having just swept up all the dust from the crumbled body of an Armstrong Siddey I've been pulling to bits I reckon I could get my money back just on the pile of nuts bots and screws that are left over.
I'll happily throw in all the worm eaten ply and rotted Ash too if they meet the "buy it now" price.
Seriously, £4 k....?
These guys should be on stage as comedians.
Still, got to get their money back for all those expensive Snap on overalls!

Like Beetles, do not be surprised by Mini prices. I know if one very early Mini - 1959 - that as a complete wreck sold for £18,000 and the owner spent over £50,000 to get it absolutely right. A total of nearly £70,000 for an 848cc Mini, "magic wand" gear lever, floor start button and all. A fool and his money etc.
