So I am quite interested in how you analyse manipulated images, and I found that there is a website dedicated to it, so I uploaded the front and rear photos and the results are below. As you can not make out the number plate on the front photo, it means it has been digitally altered in photoshop or similar. However the photo from the rear has not been tampered with, as you can make out the reg, hence. it is an un-doctored image.



Before I did this, I did message the seller earlier this week and he denied he has altered the photo!

The mind boggles.

This seller, Ross, seems to have a split personality. A showroom in London, Ontario and another location in Bracknell or Maidenhead. No info on the actual locations. Seems like a scam to me.

I wondered the same, but one of his other adverts (on ebay) has this website address www.greatlakeclassics.com ......whether its him or not though......agree though, one to be cautious on..and not pay anything till you can see the car...

Now as an auction what should the reserve be £14k £17k ?

The domain name was registered in 2021, so IMHO it would be unusual to operate a scam for 3 years plus without being shutdown / found out.
He just needs a better website, with some background about how and why he operates in 2 different countries, very far apart.
But agree, best to see car first.

What a pile of utter carp

£17.5k???? agree what a pile of crap.

You’d have to be an idiot to pay anywhere near that price, prob worth more like £8k.

This might be of interest-I very nearly bought this car a couple of years ago but the seller changed his mind and decided to keep it( then sold it to someone else lol)
It was offered for sale on the mini forum a month or two ago for 15k I think.

Quite a nice thing, may be the photography, but does the paint looks a bit thin or flat though?
