Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / September 2007Just a tad iffy?
If you're going to run a scam, at least do it properly... ...unless it's a cunning double-bluff: "I'm so stupid, I couldn't possibly rip you off." http://tinyurl.com/2df4ko  SignaturePeterMcC If you feel that any of the above is incorrect, inappropriate or offensive in any way, please ignore it and accept my apologies.

First time seller ( a female name in the UK - can't remember who/where) hence no history, beautiful Giulietta Spider 1961 (I really do mean beautiful - concourse winning condition). Cars like that have a big story to tell and people who own them are keen to tell it - this one had no support info other than the pics. Photo showed car parked inside large interior space with Italian national colours on walls, no reg plate, no details other than, IIRC, around 50,000 miles (not km though it was LHD) and the engine size. Three or four pics though the only one that was in sharp focus was the head-on shot. And, typed in below the main pic - not in the space provided by eBay - a buy it now of £7,000. Seven thousand pounds? See what I mean about missing a bargain? And oooh, look - it's just like the one on eBay in Italy. No details and a first time seller - now there's a coincidence. http://tinyurl.com/36fnyu SignaturePeterMcC If you feel that any of the above is incorrect, inappropriate or offensive in any way, please ignore it and accept my apologies. >Halmyre wrote in ><MPG.21490d2f814644e989b4f@news.tesco.net> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > >http://tinyurl.com/36fnyu Would this be it?

Good catch! ...and the US location explains the LHD-and-miles apparent contradiction - my fault for thinking parochially. And I'm quite surprised that it only went for that (around the price of a new Mondeo!) - I'd have thought £20,000+ Looking at the archives, it was sold sometime in June/July. It's been an interesting trail to follow through - got any good pics we can put on eBay and pretend we own a classic car?
