I really like that. A great price & the horrid cage will come out fairly easily.

Looks very nice. Told a pal about it and he was ready for jumping in the recovery truck and setting off for Italy.

If he will take the recovery truck to Italy, he maybe needs to change his heading to Spain
I tried to contact the seller and I got a reply from a spanish person. He told me the Mini is currently located in Granada Spain. He has family problems and he needs money. But he would arrange and pay for the transportation
So why should somebody place an ad 5 days ago on an interanational classic car page or at last british page, with an italian telephone number and a very vary short car describtion in itlaian language when the owner pretends to be spanish and the car is more than thousand miles away in a little spanish village?

I would say it is
After some research in the internet I found this links:
http://www.classiccarsltd.com/modules/a ... php?id=712
http://www.autobelle.it/annuncio_old.ph ... 158904.php
Reflecting the first link and its information, the price of 2000 GBP or 2300 € is absolutely unrealistic and must be considered as the key hint for a fake ad.
By the way, in this link the Mini is advertised in California
Trying to call the number in Italy was without response. Maybe I just tried not hard enough.
Now you can make up your mind
so long

If it sounds too good to be true........
Glad we didn't set off for Italy in that bloody noisy truck.
