fairly rare cars these with this spec, is anyone bidding on it here?
As the seller says thr rust is a straightforward fix and ought not put anyone off if the price is right.

Re: lwb auto diesel on e-bay

I like it - seems genuine.  Tidy inside but overall neglected as can happen with any car that is used only occasionally.  I know because that happened to mine when I didn't use it so much (using daily now and fixing up any niggles).   Hence I think the price is looking to be totally too high for this one.
Rust is made worse living by the salty sea!

Re: lwb auto diesel on e-bay

2nd time around and this vehicle is approaching its last failed sale price but still not reached its reserve. I can only guess what this can be, the seller clearly has an optimistic outlook in life.

Re: lwb auto diesel on e-bay

I like it.  Prefer SWB and the colour would have to be changed, but looks like a good hobby car.  Not sure it will be let go for hobby price though.
