98 miles. Real...

Mind you, I guess if the owner genuinely was "precious", then... Could be legit!

I always try and avoid looking at Anglia Classic Car auctions

too many nice cars...

That 3g is in great nick by the looks, shame it's an EX.

The TWR development XJRS is absolutely great (although that's not the best colour), the 6.5 XJS is also extremely interesting (never heard of a Chasseur mod or a 6.5 before and it's had later celebration model alloys fitted complete with re-colouring) can't work out if the the 166 V6 is gorgeous, the DBS is a fantastic restoration candidate, the S800 looks cheap, cannot believe how much the Niva Cossack is worth, love the Nissan 300ZX, like the Opel Manta (but prefer them in black), Pug 504 cabriolet is lovely, cannot believe someone has put such a chav steering wheel in that 911

development Range Rover is interesting, Starlet is absolutely mint (but not the best model)...

It's mad that a (late model) Mini Cooper is worth twice a Mitsubishi GTO...

I messaged the seller to ask him if 98 really was the genuine mileage...
He's replied to say that it is and to check on VOSA. So I have.
98,042
So genuine, if you don't count being out out by a factor of a thousand

Of course I knew, but... That's not what it says!
And who the drokk writes "98" when they mean "98000"

Answer? The sort of person that wants to give an ebay buyer an easy reason to walk away when they turn up to collect the car and decide it's not as described!

Are you telling me you'd put 98 if you were selling your car?
I don't think so...

I don't sell my cars, I scrap them
