Absolutely, I mean I haven't seen the car in the flesh or can verify what is said about it's true state, but it does look boss in the pics, though that's all too easy. Thanks to the man for warning us off it, you have probably saved a few people from wasting their time going to look at it.

long distance = hpi first

did that a few years ago when looking to get my saff.. found a minty looking one asked all the correct questions ... then agreed to have it subject to hpi ... and guess what ... cat c .. was written off and rebuilt, to a very good standard i may add in the pictures i had, but there is always that underlying question of what else my be hidden.. to all fairness the buyer did say it had had a knock ....
rather be told is on the list than find out on a hpi....
