A friend wanted to sell a car, and announce it at scout24. He got a weird message form an interested person, that I paste below. I smell a rat, but where is the trick? Thanks.

Has anyone information about any history of the Jensen CV8 in road racing or rally competition? It is such a fast car, yet I am not aware of any! Please respond if you do, with as much detail as possible.

| Hood Repairers? | 29 Oct 2005 14:28 GMT | 8 |
The plastic rear quarter light on my double duck hood on my 1970 AH Sprite IV has split. Does anyone know of a reputable restorer that could insert a new plastic panel - I am sure I have previously seen an advert in the MG Owners Mag, but it is not in recent editions.

| Ebay Adverts | 28 Oct 2005 13:38 GMT | 13 |
Hi everyone, hope you're all well. On-line auctions, or even adverts in general; what do you think of them? I'm doing some research into how people perceive on-line adverts (particularly Ebay), the trustworthiness of sellers, what sort of ad's

| How long is a piece of string? | 26 Oct 2005 13:13 GMT | 8 |
This is one of the best NGs ever but after my last post regarding my dynamo it is obvious that some of you have too much time on your hands. I have devised a problem to divert your excess creative energy: I want to do the string thing on the steering wheel of my '36 MG but I've

| First cars: Would you want to own it again? | 24 Oct 2005 16:29 GMT | 77 |
I noticed the post about the Marina, and I thought about my first cars. You can't really go back of course, but my first proper, driving around on the road legally car was a 1984 Chevette L 4dr. It was totally rust-free, had 70,000 miles on it and ran like no other

| Jaguar in the UK | 24 Oct 2005 16:23 GMT | 6 |
As it is time to purchase a new automobile, I've been looking at various Jaguar models (XJ8..specifically). I've never owned a Jaguar, and am reluctant to make a purchase given the reliability indicators of all models. I am curious as to how Jaguar ranks in the UK? Is it giving ...

My Father bought a Mercedes W123 new, and it was registered as UFX30X. About 2 years later it was re-registered as TJT41. On sale of the car in the mid '80s TJT41 was removed and the vehicle given a new registration number that started and ended with an X. Is there any

| Don't worry Gromit, everything's under control | 22 Oct 2005 14:22 GMT | 14 |
Just been to see The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (yes I know, I need to get a life). The most impressive bit is the remarkably authentic A35 van. They even got the handling spot on - lurid tail slides, vomit-inducing roll, and extremely rabbit-like axle bouncing. Not only that, but ...
