Looks to have been 'welded' by Stevie Wonders blinder brother but looks to have a mk1 Austin Cooper boot lid.... Either that or someone drilled the holes badly.....

Jacking the car up with a fork lift to take pictures of the underneath can't exactly have helped with the floor profile...

Reminds me of a trunnion collapse many years ago on my Triumph Herald at the works entrance 'speed hump' which was 'resolved' by using the company fork lift to shift it as we couldn't get anything in or out of the factory with it stuck in the way!

Drat I walked past 2 of those at the swap meet last weekend. Both were $10...

I think they were in much better condition than this one but it is hard to tell looking at the pictures....

I hope he gets his money, he can spend it on a photography course. :D

i just don't under stand that.
why, if your trying to sell something on line, can't you take a decent pic?
all cameras these days are auto focus so there is just no excuse.
when i see these i just move on and don't even waste my time, if they can't take the time to take a pic they are just "time-wasters" any way, grrrrr hacks me off

rant off
never argue with a fool, they'll only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

Personally, I don't think the vendor wants to sell it what with the poor pics and £25 postage. Dreamer. :x
