I wouldn't touch it unless I had personally spoken to the RS500 registrar from the RS owners club, I have seen how much that car is up for so you're obviously very serious about buying a 500, so for the 30 odd quid its gonna cost to join and then speak to the registrar its money saved.
Having said that I cant see in all their years of trading how J28 would try and sell a 500 thats not what its supposed to be for that sort of money.
My 2pennet worth anyways
