well this is the ebay ad:

well what a crock! those dates MUST be genuine to the photographs, I'd assumed that they must have just had their camera set up incorrectly given the continued assurance that it was "very tidy and in great condition", "been looked after" & "three women owners, all family".
Well no, it turns out that it was given to the son in law, when I got there it looked grubby, opening the bonnet reveled a splattering of oil, on asking "does it use much oil" I was told no, none at all. Futher inspection underneath I discovered that the entire underneath of the drivers side of the engine was literally dripping in oil. Running the engine shoed that the exhaust was also a good source of the black stuff!
the interior was not at all like the photo on ebay, worn, dirty, tired and the ashtray was not empty.
I dunno, I drove for over an hour, they told me they'd had an offer of £550.00 but would let me have it for £500.00. I offered £300.00 and they said £350.00 is the lowest they'd go. The £550.00 offer seemed to vanish.
what a waste of time, why on earth do people bother?!?!?
