As the wonderful Rik Mayall said; “Steep? It’s effing vertical!”

Sales need to rise in line with the advertised prices.

No pics. Anyone seen this elsewhere?

Gumtree is a weird place. Tried to inquire about a Toyota Celica ST165 for sale on there a few weeks back. Up for 10k, but I wasn't going to pay that for a car that hadn't driven in 10 years. Seller ignored my question asking about the condition of the turbo inlet hose and what sort of coolant it is running.

This 480 seems to be a similar case, though in the case of the Celica there was more than just a map. Just because people bought cars back in the day from newspaper descriptions alone, doesn't mean that it has to be done today

Both high prices and no pics. . . .
Cheers, Richard.

Ooh, yes. Definitely seems it. I remember that now.

It must be someone older who wouldn’t know the first thing about digital photography.
